if the Shark can get his breaking pitches over
he will be unbelievable.
The guy clearly is rough on the edges, but he will be terrific. At this level he needs to get more than his fastball over the plate. The hitters are just too good at this level, but he sure looks impressive.

That's usually the case...
...with these fireballers. If a major league hitter is sitting on a heater, the 97 mph really doesn’t matter as much unless he is painting the corners.
I’m not watching the game, but the key always is whether he will have the command of both his pitches to keep guys honest.

The question is "what is his true ability?"
His stats in Japan appeared to be more similar to that of a ~.810-.820 OPS guy in MLB when you consider the stats of guys like the Matsuis and Ichiro. Right now, he’s at .787 OPS, so I’d expect better next year. But I wouldn’t expect a .900 OPS from him.

I'm more than willing to give him time..
I’m just saying that people were expecting a big power .900 OPS guy. Compared to the Matsuis and Ichiro, I thought that was unrealistic. That’s all.
I’m not dissing Fukudome. I’m not writing him off. I’m just saying that I think some people overrated him before the season expecting big power. I think that in reality he’ll wind up somewhere between what he is right now and what people thought before the season.

I don't think he was "overrated" per se
He has been playing in a different part of the world all through his life and is going through an adjustment period. Fukudome has enough baseball smarts to figure what has been going wrong with him and will only comeback strong next year.

my point isn't that he is superior, I said from the beginning (above) that he is
just here for 4-5 days to get a taste of the majors and he needs to work on getting his breaking balls over consistently. But to say “he stinks” was just silly and wrong. One inning, your first in a tight game is not the full body of work in which to judge a guy.
I agree the second inning is not the full body of work either, but it is probably a better showing of his true “body of work.” But to write him off as “he stinks” based on the 7th seemed foolish to me.

Whether that is to another team or to Iowa or to retirement, he needs to go. There’s less than a half season of a 3 year deal left to eat, and they’re going to have to pay him that whether he’s blowing games or sitting at home eating chips.

Not really a gas can
but Howry gave up a HR when the ump gave the Fish an extra out

He's getting knocked around the park.
If you or I were pitching, we may get a similar result. Everything is getting hit really, really hard. Some are base hits, some are outs, some are HR.

He sucks!

A Personal Positive Note
I just accepted a full time job offer from a well-established printing company in the OC. Good pay, benefits, and the company itself is a long established (read: wealthy) firm. Even better news is that I’ll be around here less during the day. :-p

For the phrase “the OC.”
I'm thinking you weren't burdened with an overabundance of schooling, so why don't we just ignore each other til we go away.

Nope. Not really.

I was mostly playing on an Arrested Development joke about the usage of “the OC.”

How many games left on WGN?
They are playing less than .500

I wonder
Cwyers around here? I wonder if the Cubs WGN record is statistically different from their CSN/ESPN record. My guess is yes, but I cannot imagine a reason for it to be so.
