Posted June 23, 200519 yr according to Jeff Brantley, b ut that doesn't say much, he says Rocket is the starter since he has 6 wins. and a low era :bs
June 23, 200519 yr I think Clemens deserves it more at this point. Wins are very overrated as a stat for pitchers.
June 23, 200519 yr ya well jeff brantley doesnt exactly make that decision. it will come down largely to when pitchers last pitched like usual.
June 23, 200519 yr i doubt the starters have been officially named by LaRussa yet. probably simple speculation on brantley's part
June 23, 200519 yr He did really well as last year's starter... 821902[/snapback] Bingo. Time for baseball to recognize the Dtrain, after all, he is our ace and is carrying our team.
June 23, 200519 yr Clemens started last year, lets pass the torch to the Kid with the Funky Delivery. Wierd thought but does anyone think some of Dtrains sucsess might have to do with his socks remember he used to wear the high ones which the ball would stick out on, now he wears his pants low and you cant see the ball as well when hes throwing.
June 23, 200519 yr Chris Carpenter will get it... 821986[/snapback] Sad, but true. 821989[/snapback] I like La Rusa because he graduated from FSU, but he should be beat to death if he starts Carpenter.
June 23, 200519 yr I think Clemens deserves it more at this point. Wins are very overrated as a stat for pitchers. 821906[/snapback] HAHA...Clemens gets shelled in big games now. Check the all star game last year and the '03 World Series. This is all DTrain.
June 23, 200519 yr i doubt the starters have been officially named by LaRussa yet. probably simple speculation on brantley's part 821912[/snapback] It's impossible for LaRussa to have named the starters, cause there isn't even an All Star roster yet. Can't name a starter when you don't know who's gonna be on your team. I've seen other Baseball Tonight analysts say that Dontrelle has to start the All Star game, so I don't know why anyone is taking Jeff Brantley's opinion to heart here.

That being said, give the Train the start. :thumbup
