Posted August 12, 200321 yr his last 4.1 innings have been scoreless. Why? Simple, He's using his curveball and only has 2 BB during that span. Almanza is an effective pitcher when he has those things going for him, and we need him now more than ever with PHelps looking to go on the DL. You can't have Tejera as your only LH pitcher no matter how well he's been pitching. Hopefully Armando keeps it up, But like I said before, I've never jumped off his or any other players bandwagon over a couple of bad months. Some of you are the most fickle fans ive ever seen. Hell, when Encarnacion was in a minor slump last week I saw some "Juan E Blows" posts going around.
August 12, 200321 yr WOW. 1 good game, Lets see the rest. Umm probally will go and blow the games again.
August 12, 200321 yr Author WOW. 1 good game, Lets see the rest. Umm probally will go and blow the games again. He pitched 4+ innings in one game? Wow, pretty good endurance for a setup man.
August 12, 200321 yr Almanza is doing better than he was before...definitely, his curveball is at leas definable now. and Tejera was amazing last night but im not gonna jinx anything yet by saying their back to form
August 12, 200321 yr might be a bit too early to start proclaiming him "back" dude... but i've been rooting for him too. hopefully he can get a few more low-pressure situations like last night (except i'd prefer to have the lead, lol) so he can get that confidence back.

Maybe, But just watching him pitch you can tell he's not fighting to get an out, He's had control and his pitches are moving. Last nights game was low-pressure, but the two before the game was still within question, hopefully he gets back to last years form where we could use him in tight situations for some big outs.
August 12, 200321 yr Author Almanza STILL SUCKS. HA. Grow up....And on a side note, I nominate your sig for the worst sig on this board. I don't think sigs supposed to be used for stating the obvious.

Oh lighten up, you were asking for me to do that when you subtitled it "Where are all the 'Almanza sucks' posts now?". Sorry, but my signature is still better than "Go Dime".
