On the year he has an ERA just over 4 and he has refused to pitch, when his arm was sore. It had management more than a bit peeved, after they gave him such a large contract. Plus, going 9-13 last year, was not probably what they were hoping for. But yes, he has the ability to throw a gem, now and then and you have to hope that today is one of them.
Where do you get this bullshit?? Refused to pitch?? Meche hasn't missed a start since he's been in KC. He made 34 starts and threw 216 innings last season and he's making his 34 start today and has thrown 204.1 innings this season. Am I going to have to quote Captain Obvious for you again?
It was reported on Chet Coppick/Carmen DeFalco's baseball show on the radio, shortly before the trade deadline, when they were talking with Bruce Levine about guys the Cubs might aquire in a trade. Levine said that Meche has angered KC management by taking himself out of a couple of games in which he had some arm soreness/stiffness and they were trying to shop him in a trade. I'm glad the Cubs got Harden instead. Despite how well he may have pitched against the Sox today. Harden has been far more dominant than anyone but Sabbathia, that was moved in a near deadline trade. It's just sad that the Sox have gotten all these breaks and still can't take advantage. 5 losses in a row? But, as long as they win tomorrow, they are still in it. Very likely there will be another game on Monday now, with Detroit. With Lee scratched, the chances for the Sox to salvage 1 game in this series is considerably better. Hell, this thing may not be settled without an extra game vs the Twins on Tuesday. The division nobody wanted.....
