He got knocked around pretty good against Oak right before his suspension - I was there and although his numbers weren't aswful, even the outs were hit hard. I think he just has a couple of duds every now and then, which has been his history. At this point in his career I'm just not ready to pronounce him one of those guys who needs to be on a rhythm. <BR/><BR/>When he was taken out of the rotation last may for Kim, he reemerged with one of his best starts of the year - 8 shutout innings at Toronto. <BR/><BR/>And his first start last year after the ASG (with ten days off) WAS his best start of the year - 3 hits 12 K. (and followed that up with a dud against the Yankees).<BR/><BR/>His bad outings last year in the second half (Anaheim, CWS, BAL) were on normal rest).<BR/><BR/>He is either hot (usually) or cold - look at the playoffs last year. He pitched very well against Anaheim, but he also started the 19-8 game.Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07619431779431103280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10243036.post-1117660273769584882005-06-01T17:11:00.000-04:002005-06-01T17:11:00.000-04:00Yeah, all starters get either 5 or 6 (Brazelton go...Yeah, all starters get either 5 or 6 (Brazelton got 5 for the same incident). Anything less than 5 for a starter would be a non suspension since he could just drop the appeal after a start one game.Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07619431779431103280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10243036.post-1117636814339863662005-06-01T10:40:00.000-04:002005-06-01T10:40:00.000-04:00MLB always suspends starters 6 games so that they ...MLB always suspends starters 6 games so that they are guaranteed to miss a turn.

Starter vs. reliever vs. closer. We never came to any conclusion, except for that Arroyo's suspension seemed quite harsh.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe it's just a cruel joke by MLB. Honestly if I were a Yankees fan, the longer Quantrill got suspended, the happier I'd be.Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16528300608952663063noreply@blogger.com
