Singabull's Rays Rants

[Who'sYourData?]

So you're ok with a starting pitcher (some might call an ace  : ) not making it to the 6th inning on a consistent basis?  Face it, having a low era is great but be a GREAT STARTING PITCHER is staying in the game through the 7th inning on a consistent basis.

Sigh.  Kazmir is 24 years old.  Most 24 year old pitchers are still in the minors. No one said he's a GREAT pitcher, yet.  What he is, is a top of the rotation starter for the first place team in the toughest division in baseball.  And he's darn good at it.  He'd be the #1 or 2 starter on any team in MLB. 

If he keeps progressing and stays healthy, he has a good chance to develop into a Hall of Fame pitcher.  I'm sorry that's not good enough for you.

He's our number 3 right now.  Garza and Shields are 1 and 2 in either order.

percival sucks. he has no clue how to finish games

[Singabull]

Wheeler, Balfour, and Howell have all pitched better than him.  The dude is in there because of his name, not his ability.  He gets a lot of saves with a 2 or 3 run lead but with 1 run it seems he's average at best.

[Held_AccountaBull]

percival is garbage and gomes again proves how worthless he is

[Held_AccountaBull]

percival is still in!! what the h*ll is maddon thinking. this game is a loss. time to turn the channel

[Singabull]

He is useless!  Gets an opportunity to pinch hit and looks at 2 pitches right down the middle, strikes out AGAIN!  Bring up Ruggiano!!!

[Held_AccountaBull]

and he gives up a homer. this guy is a complete embarrassment to this club. maddon is a complete idiot for still having this guy on the team

[Singabull]

Maddon is a moron, great pick as a closer dumb@ss!

And nice to see the yankmes and red sux make moves to get better but our retard management does nothing.  Playoffs are slipping away slowly.  We could be way out in front with making a trade and not putting old man percival out there.

Thanks for blowing it maddon and friedman.  But it's ok because we have THE FUTURE! wooo

It seems like Percy is only a good option if he has a 2 or 3 run lead in the 9th.  He definitely makes me nervous almost every time he gets the call.
