koch did it again
- Thread starter mjalam
- Start date
I had 2 units on this game, and I just cant take these ball clubs who dont have closers, why not use the other guy as the closer? Why put this guy in who cant close?
O well, its frustrating, but nothing we can do about it.

Yeah he got the first out, I thought for a second we might get it.
The worst part is - he walked in the winning run - OUCH

seriously, and he had two strikes on ichiro before he got a base hit...its only one loss and these things happen but geez...you think they'd find somebody else
I can relate, big time. Shitty pen's have cost me a bunch of money this year. The 9th inning f#ck ups are the worst.
Mjalam.........Don't give this guy too much credit....I've seen this act one too many times myself in Toronto....
everybody has been ragging on Koch here in Chicago for the last 2 seasons. Obviously he isn't the same pitcher he used to be, I dont know why they keep using him. I thought they would be using Marte and that other Japaneese guys who is the all time Saves leader in Japan, but I dont think Ozzie knows what he is doing. thats the third time this week the bullpen has blown the game for them. Basically the Sox gave up Foulke and Biddle for Koch. I can see giving up Biddle, but he did have some 40 saves for the Xpos last year, but losing Foulke I think hurt them a bit. They really have no set up man at all. Tough loss today, but look for them to bounce back at home this week...
"After watching Billy Koch blow his third save of the year Sunday, White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen was non-committal as to whether he would replace Koch with Shingo Takatsu, according to the AP. "Right now, it's too early for me, but I might change my mind tomorrow," he said. "Tomorrow or the next day."
