Forgive and Forget- Kevin Brown

[chadlincoln]

He's had 3 solid outings in a row. Time to give this guy another shot?

[Absolutely Adequate]

I think so. I picked him up before the Mets game.

His problem is that he hasn't been able to get loose. All year he's been pretty good once he got past the 1st inning. Now that he's corrected that, I grabbed him.

He still frightens me a bit

He my get some W's for you, but he'll kill your WHIP & ERA.

He has been getting LIT UP in the first 2 innings. Aftet that he has been OK...

[citti34]

I think I have to give him one more start.

[raiders_umpire]

i thought before the year started that he would have a good year, and now after the last 3 starts i definitely think he can have a good year.....

He got his bell rung against the A's. The Funny thing is that his era went down after giving up 5 runs.

ERA is Earned Run Average.

He gave up 3 Earned Runs in that game....not 5.

[citti34]

I know what ERA is, my bad I looked at it wrong.

Fair enough.


He's definitely been pitching well lately....And I (believe it or not) think he's been pitching well for most of the season. He hasn't been walking guys or giving up homeruns. An incredibly abnormal amount of weakly hit balls had been falling in for hits in his first few games.


He'd also missed most of spring training, and didn't pitch in any rehab games before coming back. It didn't really make sense to me at the time, and it certainly doesn't look like it was a good decision.
