I thought he was gold glove caliber?

sound like it been a quite unlucky night for the fish

That wasn't a swing.

That was some glove work...

Wow, ump really saved West's ass there.

No he's not ready because he has poor control, no good ogfspeed pitches, and very little minor league seasoning. We need a5th starter if we are serious about a playoff run

 

In his first two innings tonight, he had excellent control.

I don't want him on the team right now either (but really, like Hensley is such a sure thing) but really. He has no good offspeed pitches? You say this today after the Phills have been tapping his slider into the ground for pathetic f***ing hits all night?

Hensley has put up better numbers in a better league and has some ml experience. I say try him out and if doesn't work then find somebody on the waiver wire if we are serious about a playoff run

He made an error, it happens even to the best of them.

He is but this has been such a terrible defensive game that I wouldn't be surprised if Vicotrino some how booted a fly ball.

I wanted to go with Hensley as well but you say "better" as if he his numbers were any good. He has a 6.17 ERA over the last two years. There's a reason that he's been released by the Astros and the horrifically bad Padres (TWICE!) in the last year. West has much better stuff and higher upside, Hensley's only qualifications above him is that he had a good season in 2006.

F***. Tis my life.

seems like enough for Hermida.

that would be because he had surgery. He now says he feels much better and he's been very good. And congrats, he has upside, that means nothing to me until he actually proves he can be a consistent 5th starter. We can't continue to have this sh*t where our5th starter goes 4 innings

I like how you're freaking out yet this hasn't been a bad night at all for West. He's been victimized by some horrible luck and bad defense. Get over it.

Good ending to his night.

Wasn't Hensley a reliever anyhow?

You keep bringing up the bad defense, that has been his fault. If he could field his position then he wouldve been able to have given up only 1 run. Fact is he isn't ready, and we desperately need to find a5th starter who can eat some innings

Good ending to his night.

 

Another inning? Don't know about this.

Ah jeez.

At 92 pitches, why do you let him start that inning?

I guess so West could face the lefty Howard? I guess? Howard had already singled and walked against him, so clearly West had his number.

Exactly.

 

I guess West ending his night on a good note was just too unrealistic for Fredi.
