he's got to be up over 70.

We need him to get into the 7th. Then Gaudin, then Marmol.

He could, but he'd rather do it this way.

I can’t say enough good things about Harden right now. And he’s really a contrast with Z – no emotions, not really interested in what he’s doing at the plate… one isn’t necessarily better than the other, but they’re very different stylistically.

The other thing I keep noticing is how YOUNG Harden is. He could be a Cub for a long, long time.

by cwyers on Jul 26, 2008 1:38 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

He is young.

Like I’ve said from the get-go, we could end up pulling off the deal of the century, or the deal that “could of been”.

He’s one hell of a pitcher. I don’t have a problem with the strikeouts, but I the walks is what stopped him from getting into the 6th and 7th innings.

Personally, Harden is my favorite pitcher on the staff. No offense to Z, but I think Harden is just more exciting to watch. We are so fortunate to have 2 #1 pitchers.

From an A's fan perspective - It is cool to see people recognize that Harden's so young

No one in A’s-land EVER refers to Richie as young. But he IS!

When I looked up his age and saw that he’s 26, I was shocked. A’s fandom acts like he’s 31…

Complain that Maddux is a Six inning pitcher again. K’s are fine are great but
they cause you to throw MORE pitches and the guy can only go 5 to 6 innings it is
a problem for a so called “ace”. Let’s be honest. The “ace” of the Cubs is DEMPSTER

Absolutely. Dempster has easily been the most consistant pitcher all year.
Also I will take a pitcher who can go 8 and give up two runs over a guy who goes
5 and gives up none.

Made me nervous because earlier this year, we saw him pulled in about the 5th even though he was dealing and only up to about 85 pitches… they wouldn’t say why… then they pushed back his next start… and eventually scratched him from it.
