What does reup have to do with anything? UNLESS it is a wAayy below market deal type extension AND he pitches like 05 AND neither Hirsh nor Buchholz is any good, then it is not a good deal.It's like this suppose Jennings now signs an Royal Oak 30th Anniversary Chronograph extension for 5 years at 55 million (which at the prices crappy starting pitchers are commanding he would be a damm fool to do.) Then we are paying 10 mill a year for 6 years.Suppose he pitches like Pettitte did last year a 105 ERA+ every year 210 innings and 33 starts and this assumes he does not get hurt or get worse as he ages, which is a pretty long long shot.
NOW suppose Hirsh and Buchholz each do the same.The Rockies will get 5 years of Buchholz and 6 years of Hirsh at maybe 25 30 mill combined.Then they got 2 guys just as good for half as cheap as the one they let go.Yeah, who knows how well Replica Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Ap Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch pitchers will do who have not grown up in the Rockies system and gotten used to pitching at Colorado Springs, or pitching with a humidor baseball.Who knows how well a pitcher will do who has an ERA over 10 in 3 starts at the Box? For all we know, he may be Jose Lima here.
So to expect him to stare at a slider is a little, uh, well, not the best strategy.And, with Pest on first well, second, as he took second on DI, it was Lidge's job to THEN get Edmonds out, not walk him on a 3-2 count.As for hanging sliders, well, even the Pest would hit that one out.Maybe only 330 to the CBoxes, but hey, that pitch was replica Longines L5.155.0.92.6 Ladie's watch luscious, fat and juicy and, well, it got done to it what my Dogss do to hamburger pounce upon it.Or what they WOULD do to it iffn I was dumb enough to leave them alone with it.It is also Morgan's opinion that Uncle is THE best hitter who ever played MLB.
