Re: ~~~ OFFICIAL YANKEES 2007 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS OR BUST THREAD ~~
[ QUOTE ]
On Wang: We had a big discussion last year about whether he could sustain his success or not. Many guys point to his poor K ratios (all around) and say there is no way you can be successful with such low K rates. However, there's two things about Wang: First of all, he rarely gives up home runs. The only Yankee that gives up less home runs than Wang is Rivera. Second of all, not all ground balls are created equal. With Wang's heavy, heavy sinker, batters are hitting the ball directly into the dirt in front of home plate. This creates slow, easy-to-handle grounders, even for a poor defense.

[ QUOTE ] i say he looked above average you say three things (all of which are irrellevant or make no sense) I tell you why you make no sense you respond with somewhat of a nothingess response attacking his injury woes did i miss anything? btw he DOES throw a hard sinker, he has A LOT of upside (compared to an "average" pitcher) [/ QUOTE ] i suggest stopping now - you will only make yourself look foolish. The fact is, Pavano is not a good pitcher, and he's working with a terrible defense that has to make plays for him to be any good. Whether or not he stays healthy - his ERA will not be very low. I hope for more starts like this - but I don't expect them. [/ QUOTE ] the only one that seems foolish is you jaret wright comparison LUDACRIS |

Re: ~~~ OFFICIAL YANKEES 2007 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS OR BUST THREAD ~~
To say Pavano isn't a good pitcher is silly. He's not outstanding, that seems to be the concensus, but he's not as bad as Wright. I've never liked Wright, not on Cleveland, not on Atlanta and especially not in pinstripes. Pavano's a clear upgrade on JW, and if he stays healthy, should be a fine manning 4-5 spot on the rotation with Igawa.

Pavano sucks. Mostly because of his extended vacay.

[/ QUOTE ] They were talking about how good of job Boof was doing pitching inside and keeping A-rod off-balance. Next pitch was put in the left field bleachers. (I think that's what he's referring to.) |

I really like the seek function, when it actually works its really helpful. bonser has terrible control |

Re: ~~~ OFFICIAL YANKEES 2007 WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS OR BUST THREAD ~~
A-ROD! What a huge pimp. He's swinging the bat really well to start off the season!
Albeit this does nothing to sway NY faithful, it sure makes me happy to see him do well for the Yanks. |
