September 7, 200422 yr Didnt expect that. Donno bout the doubleheader tho. But most of our pitchers got good stuff, theyll bring it home. Im looking forward to the game when Kensing pitches, pretty sure McKeon is positive about his stuff. 545480[/snapback] McKeon does not make roster moves... I doubt he's ever seen Kensing pitch.
September 7, 200422 yr Hopefully he doesnt pull a Joe Fontenot where he can't get anyone out in his first start (vs Atlanta Braves). I have a feeling though that Mr. Kensing will come through in a big way :thumbup Edit: Come to think of it maybe that wasnt Fontenots first start.
September 7, 200422 yr someone's gotta take the hit guess kensing will be the poor soul ... good luck kiddo and I still think they should bring up another arm ... possibly Grasequi, just because he's a lefty
September 7, 200422 yr some info on Kensing for those who dont have a clue who he is he throws a heavy 9-94mph sinker with "tremendous boring action" out of a 3/4 slot his slider is sometimes a + pitch but other times is just hangs he has "Matt Clement-like" movement, has good leadership qualities 545364[/snapback] Agree :thumbup I like him more to a B.Webb of the D-backs.

September 7, 200422 yr Interesting bringing up Kensing....especially in the tight race we're in. Do we really have that few arms at AA (I know there's no one at AAA).

September 7, 200422 yr then again Mckean Made the Chose of choosing the SP for the NL All Stars to be Roger Clemons and look what happened there
September 7, 200422 yr then again Mckean Made the Chose of choosing the SP for the NL All Stars to be Roger Clemons and look what happened there 545667[/snapback] what are you talking about?
September 7, 200422 yr Author then again Mckean Made the Chose of choosing the SP for the NL All Stars to be Roger Clemons and look what happened there 545667[/snapback] So Mckeon Was Supposed To Know That Roger Clemens Would Have An Off Night?
September 7, 200422 yr So we are throwing Valdez and Kelsing at the Cubs? I don't like it. 545661[/snapback] ugh... that's not very promising.
September 7, 200422 yr I think Scott Olsen would have been a better choice than Kensing. 545894[/snapback] well Kensing is more "mature" and did play in college so they probably feel is ready
September 7, 200422 yr I think Scott Olsen would have been a better choice than Kensing. 545894[/snapback] Olsen is probably more talented than Kensing, but Olsen is more raw than Kensing. Better chance of Kensing being able to have success right now than Olsen.
September 8, 200422 yr Agree :thumbup I like him more to a B.Webb of the D-backs. 545612[/snapback] thats a bold statement I would take on Webb and his 2-27 record anyday ... solely based on talent and his sinker :whistle
September 8, 200422 yr Still its strange they call up an A ball pitcher. What about guys like alvarez, olsen, or maybe even bump again.

September 8, 200422 yr Nic Ungs is the only other guy I'd rather have than Kensing and even thats a stretch.
September 8, 200422 yr I know it's pointless, but why not throw Kensing against the Mets. I trust in Beinfest and McKeon, but I know I'd feel a hell of a lot more comfortable if we threw Kensing tonight and saved Beckett for Friday so we'd have Pavano and Josh going back to back. It's gonna be a fun weekend though...
