Kendall situation
Jul 31st, 2007 by Ashley
I love Kendall even if he can’t hit. And maybe, just maybe, that his absence is the cause of recently slipping pitching. Still, obsessing with how great a catcher he is is not going to help the team, especially our young pitchers. Moreover, perhaps all they need is some time to familiar themselves with each other. Come on, they are big leaguers. Saying steady and promising pitchers cannot perform without a certain catcher is like saying some superstar striker is not as sharp leaving AC Milan… oops, wrong analogy. Anyways, the media and announcers are not helping. Even if Kendall was really the reason of their success, our media should at least help hypnotize our pitchers that they can do excellent without Kendall rather than keep convincing them that Suzuki is the cause of their rising ERA.
It’s pathetic that our own [Oakland A’s] media [say, Ray Fosse] failed to make some good use of themselves, instead, they pulled the whole team down with their mourning of Kendall departure.
