Koch's Florida Debut!

[CWSGuy406]

1 Inning Pitched.

2 Hits.

1 Strikeout.

0 Walks.

1 Earned Run.


Had he done that against the Mariners, we'd be in first place right now.

So, Marlin fans, do you guys like what you got?

Yeah, like they need another reason for trolling around here.

As I said in another thread. They may be on to something. He is pitching better for them than he did for us already.

i'm not going to rag on koch, i wish him the best of luck. i had high expectations for him here...but like so many others i'm not going to find happiness in watching him fall apart. i really wished his sox tenure would have turned out better...am i defending the guy? a little. oh well..good luck koch and good luck marlins....i'm just settled in and hoping the sox perform the way they are supposed to.

I wish Billy all the best.

Especially in September when the "fighting fish" play the flubs.

I thought this kind of beauty only existed in dreams and Photoshop.

I wish Billy nothing but the best. He was a class act and a standup guy in a day when a lot of pro athlete's aren't. He was just a crap-ass pitcher here the majority of the times he took the bump and we have no room for that. I have no idea what the Marlins were thinking - 2.5mm for this guy, plus a mediocre prospect seems like a bad investment.

I hope KW can now parlay this extra money, along with whatever he and JR left for a midseason acquisition, into a 5th starter and a tough righty in the pen.

I saw billy's numbers this morning and laughed. He is a stand up guy and all but as far as pitching...he has fallen apart. He is the cardiac kid!

I hope the Sox use that money to get someone real good!

I do admire the way he was a stand-up guy no matter how awful he was. On the other hand, I don't want to see he do too well somewhere else, because that means he sucked ONLY in his 1 1/2 years here! Why should WE be the only "beneficiaries" of his foul stench?

Don't worry. Plenty 'o stench to go 'round.

Me too, but then every now &then I think "Hey - I can be a great guy in the clubhouse, get shelled every so often and take responsibility for a lot less $$$ - where do I sign up?"

Stilll, it's refreshing to see his attitude in today's sports world & the current "it's someone else's fault" society

Beelee gave up a two-run homer in the 11th inning today and gets another loss.

It's pretty crucial that you pitch well in the 11th, ya know.

FL ERA remains at 9.00 ERA.

The funny thing is people over there still think "Rosey" can magically cure him and he'll stop giving up runs the rest of the season. I guess Coop is that bad.
