Acevedo is killing me....

[Eli]

Man, I have to quit playing these pick-me-up pitchers. I thought Acevedo would be a sure thing today

It is raining out and he had to wait like 3 extra hours to pitch....... He has 8Ks in 6IP and could pitch the 7th..... All of the runs are from HRs. I wouldnt worry too much about it.......

[CBMGreatOne]

Yeah, I'm not terribly worried about this one either. It could have been worse, you could have started Ponson. Acevedo isn't erratic, and he still has his stuff, I think he's just had some tough luck today.

This happened to Dontrelle last year a few times I think.....you warm up and get ready, then the game is delayed and you come out cold hours later. I wouldn't worry about it, but it sucks for those who had him starting today (myself included)

[LetsPlay2]

I agree. I don't take this as a bad start if you're looking at the big picture. His control and Ks were not a problem today. Sometimes hitters just do what they're paid to do. Luckily as I said in another post, I had Perez going today as well which evened out the ERA to make Acevedo's Ks almost worth the start. I like what I see in Acevedo so far and will continue to start him in reasonably good matchups.

Thanks Guys... I have Willis going tonight... Let's hope he picks me up

[great gretzky]

well sometimes to get that diamond in ther rough, you have to take this type of thing.

Hell schilling hurt me the other day too.

I think he will be good. He did beat some good teams earlier. he got his k's today and the weather was bad.
