You know him, we get it. Tell him if he pitches like that I'll stop pointing out all his flaws...

Give me a break. When you have a few bad outings to start a season and your ERA balloons it takes a long time to get it down. He's down to 4.4 and like I said saying someone sucks when they are 25 is not giving them much of a chance. 30 and we will see. You may be right. Maybe I just don't give up on people so quickly. More faith.

His last start was against the Marlins
5 innings
6 hits
6 runs
4 bb's
2 k's


You can root for him all you want but he was better as a rookie than he is now. He has pitched close to 400 big league innings. He has a lifetime era of 4.69. That is a pretty big sample size.

He plays in a Little League size park....We will look again in a few years.

So he is 27-16. Better even then I had thought....Imagine what he could do if he cheated like Clemens.

won/loss has a lot more to do with how many runs your team scores than how well you pitched. Of course anyone that insists that kyle kendrick is going to be some great pitcher when virtually all evidence points to the contrary may not understand that.

If he wants to stay in the big leagues I suggest he call Mr McNamara

Great? I doubt it. Solid, the jury is out. Either way, 4 singles allowed to the best team money can buy says something.

A pitchers job is to make sure he pitches well enough to win. Nothing else. This kid seems to win more than his share.
