Around SBN: The Worst Season of Francisco Rodriguez's Career Bar-right-arrows



Jason Kendall Wants Your All-Star Votes!

Okay, so the article doesn't quote him saying that so it seems like Dave Fultz--whoever he is--is speaking for the catcher. Either way, I'm going to hope you'll excuse me for not voting for a guy who's hit .217/.296/.299 since his hot streak to start the year (yay cherry-picking), no matter how well he calls a game.

Great arguments in that article

The two major points of contention in the article are
1) as you meniton, he calls a really good game;
2) he’s been to the all star game 3 times before.

I’m convinced.

I mean, he’s pretty much the same player he was back in 2000, right?

Don't try to do too much with it. Just take the ball the other way.

Yeah

Jon Lieber’s still a 20-game winner, too.

And Cory Lidle’s actually better than he was then.

He's extremely quick and good.

You have no concept.

"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"

Ahhh...but you forget his defense.

17 of 40 would-be base stealers were thrown out by Kendall’s unforgiving cannon of domination so far this season. Plus, he does call a great game. How many times have we heard a pitcher say that he made a mistake because he shook off Kendall? Okay, once or twice, but he has Manny Parra and Seth McClung pitching like they have been starting games for years. He has also become a valuable voice in the clubhouse, a much-needed veteran voice among young players. I’m voting for him.

"Get up, get up, get outta' here, GONE!!!"

Brew Crew Ball is made with whole grains and contains bits of real grit. It's the perfect dessert for a quarter-century of futility. Serve it ice-cold by itself or over a fresh Yosting. Guaranteed to enhance your sarcasm and sense of irony!

Was it a hit?
  • Yes. Hey you kids, get off my one-hitter!
  • No, and it should be changed. Even the Pirates fans, all twelve of them, thought so.
  • No, but it's too late to fix the glaring mistake now, unless...hey, we could pretend Sarah Palin gave up the hit!
