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.

LOL

The jury is still out...

Funny all these stories about the "year of the pitcher" and you are touting a guy who batters hit .289/.347/.460 against him lifetime.

This is like a 17500 claimer who runs a 88 beyer and all of a sudden he is an allowance horse...

[randallscott35]

He's done enough.

I wasnt going to reply to this thread until I saw your tbred analogy. I was going to say that he is like a grinder. He has no real stuff.

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

Explain to me how a pitcher knows exactly how many runs his team will score which would seem to be a key component to a teams ability to win?

A pitchers job is run prevention, plain and simple. Kyle Kendrick is below league average at this task. W/L record is a misnomer in many cases, his being a prime example of a pitcher whose record is far greater than his pitching prowess. At least half of a pitchers W/L record relates to something that a pitcher has absoultely nothing to do with, offense. The bullpen is another factor that the starting pitcher has no control over hence some pitchers 'losing' wins if the bullpen struggles.

In evaluating a pitchers ability, w/l record is one of the least accurate measures. This is really simple stuff.

I'm not saying he's all-star pitcher. I'm saying he wins. And to me winning the game is what's most important. Give the guy a little credit, he does have a 636 winning %.
