i'm flabbergasted by the stupidity
the dude gets dinked and dunked to death, has his defense completely crap out on him, and then when he gets tired, gets taken deep by an incredibly good lefty bat, and he’s somehow garbage?

Johan getting rocked
"Solo homers usually come with no one on base." -Ralph Kiner
Oh for fuck's sake
Johan’s one of the best pitchers in baseball
Parnell is a guy whose had one good start and a mediocre minor league career
Not at all comparable
even the best pitchers get rocked though
why does 1 bad start for parnell= he’s terrible
1 worse start for johan= that’s fine, happens to everyone

"Solo homers usually come with no one on base." -Ralph Kiner
but the point is
everyone has bad starts
"Solo homers usually come with no one on base." -Ralph Kiner
I understand that
But one good start doesn’t absolve him from the fact that his 1st start was horrible, and the fact that he was having a terrible season as a reliever
man you guys are dumb
look at his FIP and TRA
clown shoes wearing idiots
by firejerrymanuel on Aug 19, 2009 8:03 PM EDT up reply actions
why should i
dude is a reliever, and he’s a good one.
his stats as a starter in the minors are almost completely meaningless.
he gets killed by an awful BABIP. it’s undeniable. unless you’re a moron, which you appear to be.
by firejerrymanuel on Aug 19, 2009 8:06 PM EDT up reply actions
An awful BABPIP
His BABPIP in the minors were .299, .341, .373, .336, .294, and .421
How do you explain that?
hahahaahhahh
what a retarded argument. as if that shit has any bearing on what’s been going on with him now.
you’re a clown.
by firejerrymanuel on Aug 19, 2009 8:09 PM EDT up reply actions
i explain it by
looking at his TRA, which is really good.
and the fact that i could give two shits about his minor league BABIP.
once again, you wear large shoes, face paint, and a red rubber nose

you're right
but using tRA and FIP does.
you have no argument against that. so, you’re…. just a clown.
by firejerrymanuel on Aug 19, 2009 8:15 PM EDT up reply actions
look at his career minors numbers
Is that bad D too? They are really not impressive. He throws hard, major leaguers do not care if that’s all he’s got. Do we need to have 12 guys in the field for him then?
you need to drop the Johan vs Yanks
example. It’s making you look silly. like scary clown silly.
how about the 2 games where pelfrey gave up 9 runs?
take him out of the rotation?
"Solo homers usually come with no one on base." -Ralph Kiner
He has one good pitch
Cant get lefties out and he not even a good reliever
by Jadden Hopkins on Aug 19, 2009 8:05 PM EDT up reply actions
ERA around 3 as a reliever
in case you forgot
"Solo homers usually come with no one on base." -Ralph Kiner
Johan has a very well established track record
so far parnell has one good start. I’m not discounting that he may become a good pitcher at some point, but he needs to develop two more good pitches before he’ll ever be effective

not all that good. After single A he gave up more hits than IP at EVERY LEVEL. That’s not all D. Smoke that FIREJERRY and stick it in your BABIP. The dude is a reliever with potential, he’ll never be a starter.

BABIP
I like BABIP as a stat, but in 2009, Livan’s BABIP is .335 and Johan’s is .282. So I think it’s fair to say that just because you have a shitty BABIP, doesn’t mean you’re just unlucky.
that's....

awful luck/defense
parnell had 2 choppers and a bloop fall in.
then gave up a real single to plate 2.
then an infield hit to ahern that a real SS makes a play on.
then an infield hit to ahern that castillo didn’t feel like covering 2nd on.
then he got tired and gave up a bomb to mccann.
basically, a lesson in why defense is important and should be almost ignored in a pitcher’s performance.

Well I stepped away again, and the game got out of hand.
I just caught up with all the Parnell bashing,
My two cents:
He has a good arm. He needs to use his secondary pitches. That is a mix of himself (experience), his catcher calling a good game, and his pitching coach working with him offline. In other words…..since he is with the Mets……he’s on his own.
I am not down on Parnell just because of this. If you are going to learn on the job, now is the time to do it. I’ll give him 2 or 3 more starts before I join the bashers.
Yeah I agree
His minor league numbers are not good, but this team is going nowhere, and all pitchers not named Johan suck, so I’m fine with giving Parnell a shot for the rest of the year.
We have nothing to lose. It’s not like we need to see more out of Livan or even Ollie.

Dorothy London has spent years sketching the area’s towering American elm trees. On Tuesday night, the artist stood by her apartment window worrying about how the trees were faring in the fierce storm.

On Wednesday morning, she toured the park, looking for her favorite American elm. She found the elm split in two.
“It’s dead,” she said, bursting into tears.

I meant wrong Nick is here and just because he got a hit doesnt make the
AB not a FAIL
Every Green AB is an AB that Evans should’ve had.
why must i hate every Met named Green
there must be a good one out htere somewhere

his lack of ability to wear a hat for extended periods of time bothered me
and he was sort of a liability in the field
by KeithsMoustache on Aug 19, 2009 9:40 PM EDT up reply actions
did he call the manager retarded, the GM retarded and illiterate and the owners reatrded for sticking with the aforesaid retards?
Not exactly...
But he basically said that the injuries were no excuse, and the team was playing crappy even before they got hurt.
good for him
I like that they’re honest. The cynic in me appreciates it

On the DL
Outside of that great game in 07, what has he done to be constantly penciled in as a starter?
by aparkermarshall on Aug 19, 2009 9:45 PM EDT up reply actions
I think he has potential,
but I kindof agree that he hasnt done enought to warrant the constant pencilling (as you put it), which is why that shirt would be funny (to me)
more that he is such a high injury risk than his generally average pitching

after the braves put up their 8 spot...
i took the family out to dinner at one of our favorite little spots, and got really bad service from a server (1st night on the job).
i come back in, honestly expecting that the braves might have scored 20, but that we’d at least have 5 or 6.
been that kinda night.

Fucking Braves
We suck so bad, we can’t even compete with Atlanta or Florida.
Fucking Marlins have a payroll of $21,000.00, play in front of 35 fans in a football stadium, and still kick our ass routinely and have won 2 WS since we won our last.
Well half their team is not on the DL
