August 21, 200521 yr The Crow rocks! This kid is gonna be something special Next year for Starting Rotation D-train Beckett Crow (hopefully burnett or kip wells) Olsen I like it. This kid has spirit and can battle for it. Btw play of the game was that catch by LoDuca!
August 21, 200521 yr Big Boy?? man what a game, he was really in control out there. and good contributions from all over the batting order!
August 21, 200521 yr Great game from Vargas to give us a shot at the series win. One minor quibble: 117 pitches is okay once in a while. I hope it doesn't occur regularly, though. He can't be used to that. On the plus side, I just noticed that Vargas and I share the same birthday, which automatically makes him one of my favorite Marlins EVER. WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! VARGAS!!!!!!!!

VARGAS!!!!!!!! 910356[/snapback] pitch counts are overrated. condition your arm and your mindset to give you 120 each start and you are fine.
August 21, 200521 yr In a world without bullpens, one man was chosen to protect the innocent this summer Jason Vargas is The Crow
August 21, 200521 yr pitch counts are overrated. condition your arm and your mindset to give you 120 each start and you are fine. 910385[/snapback] I agree with you on all counts. But his arm is not conditioned to throwing that many pitches. He said during his postgame interview that his last CG was probably in high school. His mindset appears to already be where it needs to be. I'm okay with it every once in a while. If he throws over 110 pitches for most of his starts, he arm will grow tired before long. And I present Dontrelle's first two seasons as Exhibit A.

August 21, 200521 yr I had to miss the game driving back home from New Jersey, but I'm real happy that Vargas was able to dial up such a great game. Only wish I could have watched it.
August 21, 200521 yr For everyone's chronic complaining about how Jack handles rookies, I don't think Vargas could have been handled better. Starting off with a one inning stint to get him into the bigs, building on that, then a short start, building towards today when he became a bonafide major league starter. Hopefully Hermida will be here in the next week and if he is my guess is Jack will start playing him everyday.

It's not David Wells out there.
