I'm repeating myself, but I find it amusing so: Kilcoyne calls Pineiro the "re-gifter", everytime Pineiro gets a lead, he promptly wraps it up, puts a bow on it and gives it away.Cronos69 wrote:Pineiro is quickly moving up on my [expletive] list, though.

And to think we were ready to call Franklin "The Equalizer" when Piñeiro was right under our noses.docellis wrote:I'm repeating myself, but I find it amusing so: Kilcoyne calls Pineiro the "re-gifter", everytime Pineiro gets a lead, he promptly wraps it up, puts a bow on it and gives it away.Cronos69 wrote:Pineiro is quickly moving up on my [expletive] list, though.

I was busy and didn't catch the game, was sending Pineiro back out for the 6th as bad a decision as it looked from checking the box score? He seemed to be giving up a ton of baserunners and walking a fine line beforehand.

He's a stud 3 levels this year thrown into the starter job recently at Springfield. Could pull off a K-Mac and make the team next year. Would love to see if they continue starting him or put him back in the pen.New Pagodi wrote:Completely unrelated, but have you had a chance to see Justin Fiske pitch?phinstd wrote:Motte has been lights out lately.

Yet, good old Kelvin Jimenez seems to continue to get their call. Amazing.

He's had good results for sure, but I don't see him having this kind of talent when I've watched him. He's more of a "guts" guy who thrives on location and a good changeup.pujols4mvp wrote:He's a stud 3 levels this year thrown into the starter job recently at Springfield.

I was premature on predicting Pineiro's suckitude. I thought he would get lambasted at the start of the season and have an ERA in the high 5s, low 6s before the Cardinals Kip'd him and banished him to the Garbage Time List. His performance in July was embarrassing. Six of his last seven starts have seen the opposing team get 10 hits or more.
And the thing that he sucked at last year -- giving up home runs -- has not improved. I wonder how pissed he's going to be if Wainwright comes back to the rotation. Shame on you, Mozeliak. I can't believe you thought Flukey McFlukester was worth it.

No worries. Little guy who throws mid to upper 80's, with a good changeup. When he's got his control of inside fastball, his changeup will get him a ton of K's. Wish he had a better breaking ball, he could be deadly on lefties if he did. Going off my eye, and not looking at stats, I'd say he'd be just as good against righties as he would lefties. Love to see an Indy guy come out of nowhere in one season, climbing three levels, and making the team take notice enough to have Luhnow force Pop to put him into the rotation.New Pagodi wrote:Thanks.phinstd wrote:He's had good results for sure, but I don't see him having this kind of talent when I've watched him.

They certainly see something to do that, right?
