April 14, 200519 yr Buy or sell the Marlins having the best rotation in baseball... Mariotti: Buy Woody: Sell - Yankees JA Adande: Buy Blackistone: Sell - Braves That was a lame discussion.
April 14, 200519 yr or not.. he said on cold pizza that he liked our rotation.. oh well 742099[/snapback] he still likes em, just not as much as his boy, Unit
April 14, 200519 yr hahaha...braves have the best rotation in baseball?? what a joke 742102[/snapback] Its not that far fetched you can argue (CAN argue, dont bite my head off) Smoltz = Beckett Hampton = Leiter Hudson > Burnett Thomson < Willis Ramirez > Valdez With a bigger difference between Ramirez and Valdez than Thomson and Willis
April 14, 200519 yr Author kevin blackistone = :chair --> me woody paige = :book 742103[/snapback] Huh? 742159[/snapback] i want to hit kevin blackistone in the head with a chair because he said the braves rotation is the best in baseball and that they OWNEd us in a pitching duel the last two games of the series...or could it be that we couldn't hit? our offense is far supperior to theirs. woody paige was being funny man as always reading a book during the show.
April 14, 200519 yr I am really impressed with the Marlins staff so far. They have the lowest era in the league. So far so good.

If he had a veterans head on his shoulders with that stuff he'd be Cy young level not only on Hudson level...

April 15, 200519 yr Ok how many changeups did he pitch last game since you were watching every pitch? Knowing how to pitch is not determined by how many changeups you throw. Maturity is shown by being able to get out of situations cleanly and with as little pitches as possible, and being able to get a W on an off night, meaning a K pitcher can put a game in the defense's hands. AJ did that and went the distance, but he's not a pitcher? I'm baffled.
