the Colonel went 5 IP, 76 pitches, 50 strikes, 4 hits, 3 strikeouts, zero runs. This was after a 13 day layoff. Sorta would think his injury was behind him.

was there any reasoning for it?

granted, it would be funny if that was the answer someone gave the “you just won the world series, what are you going to do next” people.

go cards.

he was pissed off because of a bad start

and a reporter asked him some thing along the line of what he could do to fix his problems, and that was his answer.

considering who his manager is, it’s pretty freaking funny.

Chavez has been hitting well (which is why he’s in the 2 hole tonight), but after those two, it’s a little less fire, and more smoke

I know he’s trying to save the bullpen, but we’re behind. Seems like a bad move…

No Dan

He said Maple bats aren’t a big deal. That the shape of the bat people are using today has more to do with the breakage than the type of wood.

Thompson's pitches aren't sinking at all

Flat as can be. It’s no wonder why people are teeing off on him.

game day has

7-9 inch break on his fast balls and 11-12 on his curve. how much does he normally get?

by Evilfrog on Jul 1, 2008 10:19 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

he should have a sinker registered

if not, that suggests gameday either misidentifies it as a curve or fastball, or Thompson is throwing it so poorly that it isn’t acting like a sinker.
