Back To Board

I thought I had GREG Maddux....

Posted By RobE

I picked Maddux in the first round because he's supposed to be steady and give the 'pen a virtual day off every 4 or 5 days.... right ?

Well, so far through 3 games, not only does he have a 7.64 era (I know, small sample, but let me whine), but he's screwing up my bullpen (with the help of the ROBOT) !

The robot did his part by pulling the fully rested Maddux after 5 innings and 21 BF when he's set as "Ace".
Then Maddux helps out by giving up 7 runs in his next start, contributing to the fact that I go to extra innings, which THEN causes the robot to leave in Rich Garces (short reliever, bullpen set to aggressive) for an unbelievable 6 INNINGS and 23 BFA, thus sending his use to 200%, effectively erasing him for the next couple weeks....

Now Maddux get's shelled in real life, Rick Reed breaks his arm....

whine-moan-complain !!!!

(after all, my girlfriend doesn't understand ANY of this, so this is the only outlet I got !!)
