Do you guys think that we can justify sending him back to the minors after such a great game tonight? I'm not suggesting he should become part of the rotation, but the kid certainly has more potential than Wes.

 

I just wanted some opinions from you guys.

Consistancy is key with starting pitching and ole Rickey had a horrendous start before tonight i believe he walked the bases full...lol. Obie will at least give you 5 good innings.

:banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead Watch him have an 8 run inning now. WAIT TILL THE GAME IS OVER NEXT TIME!!

ITS NOT DONE YET!

I absolutely hate Wes but it's hard to justify dumping him for a guy as unpolished as Vandy, despite his good start tonight. If he shows enough to stay up I would be ecstatic but I'm not expecting it.

alex should be banned

 

 

So should the goofball who in the 6th inning in the game thread said "zOMG Vanden Hurk is throwing a no hitter!!!11!"

Some people are wayyy to superstitious.

 

If you told an athlete that anything we said had anything to do with how they played then they would laugh in your face....seriously.

Not jinxing a no-hitter is just part of the game. You just don't do it. You should have seen me during Anibal's last year as I had my friends scramble to find the game on TV for reasons that I couldn't tell them.

Athletes are even more superstitious. I don't honestly believe that we have an effect on the game, but you still just don't do things like mention a no hitter. It is frustrating and stupid to do it unless its the other team or the Yankees.

Alex---just ignore 'em. Post whatever and whenever, you're not jinxing anyone (contrary to the beliefs of many on here :rolleyes).

 

The Incredible Hurk might get sent down, it was probably pre-determined. It's VandenHurk or Obermueller..one of them has to go.

Oh I know that, I didn't mention the no-hitter though. I just said he was pitching well. Tommy must have mentioned it at least 10 times though is my only point.

Tommy mentioned that Anibal was throwing a no-no, and look what happened. He threw a no-no! omg...maybe there was a reverse jinx, and someone said he's not throwing a no-hitter and everything equaled out. that must be what happened.

Ahh, the one time I don't use the quote feature to indicate who I was responding to gets me in trouble. I was referring to the flurry of posts below yours. I wasn't blaming you, I blame Tommy.

You shouldn't start a new thread in the middle (only the 6th inning) of a no hitter talking about how great the pitcher is doing. Wait until after the game or put it in the game thread, thats what it is there for.

It's very simple, I didn't have the game on TV so I didn't hear Tommy say that. Since my own superstitions make the Marlins performance dependent upon what I personally have experienced, that makes what Tommy said irrelevant. Everything in sports revolves around me, and what couch/tv I am watching on, what shirt I am wearing, what I say in game, etc.

Rick did so well because I am wearing my lucky "Pembroke Pines Winter Baseball" shirt.

Valid point, but I wasn't talking about the game. I'll say this once more though.....there is no such thing as a jinx.

 

I'm talking about the future of RVH and whether or not it's okay to send him down after an outing like this. It has nothing to do with the actual game.

I put the key word in bold- AFTER...AFTER an outing! Make the thread after his outing next time not during, especially in the middle of a no hitter!
