Bum ass Chuck James has a 4-0 and gives it right back, **** ****.

Well, that was crap. 4-0 lead, James blows it, and then we do jack **** the rest of the game.

We really need to win this series. We can literally say that about every single series from here on out...

I really don't understand Bobby this year. Your starter drops 16 batters in a row and you take him out with the bottom of the order coming up. :dontknow:

I can understand it. James has a set amount of pitches/innings that he goes before Cox takes him out, and itt's been that way all season long. James throws with his arm, so he can't last too long out there. Whenever he gets to a certain amount of pitches, he always seems to start screwing things up.

It was a precautionary move, and a decent one considering the game was tied. Moylan didn't mess it up in the 7th; Escobar's error is what allowed that run to score.

No, he's never taken Chuck James out when he's dealing like that.

he did sit down 16 in a row but he really wasn't dealing....i mean there were quite a few hard hit balls and he wasn't really hitting his spots. But 16 in a row is still 16 in a row.....lol

Still, when you got the groove going you should keep it going.

Post #18 » by **MagicMadness** » Sat Aug 11, 2007 11:22 am

I can understand the arguement for keeping him in. Like I said, it was a "decent" move, meaning Cox could have gone either way with it. The problem I have is that Chuck almost always starts screwing up if he is kept in the game for too long. His last start is a good example, where Joe Simpson mentioned in the 6th inning that "if James is going to falter, this would be about the time he'd do so" (or something along those lines). Sure enough, he gave up a couple of hits and was taken out of the game.

In last night's case, we were in a tight 4-4 game, so Cox and McDowell didn't take a chance. And in the end, we only gave up one unearned run the rest of the way, so it worked out fine. Considering the bulk of James' strength comes from his arm and not his legs and he tires earlier than most pitchers, it was a precautionary move.

Nobody is really talking about the Phillies, but they are certainly a foe in the NL East. The Braves gave one away last night, but they definitley shouldn't take this team for granted.
