Koch: bad May's, but might be hurt

[JUGGERNAUT]

Look at his April & May stats from previous years:
May 99 2.57 era,
Jun 99 0.61 era

Apr 00 3.97 era
May 00 3.52 era
Jun 00 1.93 era

Apr 01 4.15 era
May 01 5.91 era
Jun 01 1.69 era

Apr 02 1.54 era
May 02 7.71 era
Jun 02 0.59 era

Apr 03 8.25 era
May 03 10.80 era

He's never shown that much weakness in April. Something has to be wrong .

I still don't understand why what month it is has such a bearing on players stats. I can understand splitting the season to b4 the allstar break and after for when they're on and off, but in general shouldn't major league guys be able to produce no matter what month it is?

weather conditions play into the whole months thing

Koch isn't hurt. Cooper has changed his mechanics and now he has no velocity.

As I posted earlier, all those innings Billyboy has pitched last season are taking his toll.

Billy Koch=Bobby Thigpen.

The As' obviously saw this coming,so they must have been ecstatic when they were able to get Fouke and dump bombs away billy.Also,one other pitcher whos' stats are telling is Loaiza.He has historically had a great april and each succeeding month he gets worse.

Do you mean Billy Beane may have pulled a fast one on Kenny Williams?? I'm shocked. "
