Oh he is

But sometimes he says things that are way off base (we all do)

no comment

 

[Prime Time]

Good Win today...

Why does no one ever talk about my boy Josh Johnson. All this Liriano talk, what about JJ. Lowest ERA in the NL give the boy some dap. On ESPN they were talking about Scott Olsen as one of the best rookie pitchers and no JJ. Why the lack of props to JJ. Hes a stud.

JJ is the ****, no doubt

I love Josh, Olsen can dominate and strike out guys + is left handed, thats why he gets more attention probally

Josh has had some tough luck in some games, his record should be better

Not to metion the fact the Utley "Hit" that Uggla failed to get was an error.

It's because Liriano is doing this in the American League. No offense, but the National League on the whole just sucks... it's alot harder to put up a sub 2.00 ERA in the AL as opposed to the NL.

Johnson is a nice young arm though, no doubt about that.

That wasn't an error. It's rare when a player has to slide or dive for a ball that they charge an error unless the ball was in the glove and came out. Ball was hit well, got the right spot, a legit hit.

Now, if there were a no-no going on...

I give him love all the time, but out of our pitchers he will garner the least attention. He's not a proven commodity like Willis, nor does he have the dominating stuff that Olsen has and Nolasco/Sanchez have the potential to have.

Don't get me wrong, he is a stud, but in the way Maddux was. He's not going to strike out a lot of guys he's just going to get them out.

Any new News on whether the Marlins are staying or moving? Seems like I heard something a few months ago but cant remember where,that they may stay in Florida even if they dont stay in the Miami area.I hope they dont move though.

San Antonion couldnt build a stadium and hialeah is working hard to get a stadium built so it looks like they may end up staying in south florida.

More importantly, Hialeah just got clearance to build a water osmosis plant, which allays the possible deal-breaking concerns over not enough potable water in the area. Secondly, simply speaking, they won another adjustment of the Urban Development Boundary (UDB), which helps for building as well. Baby steps.

And Johnson comparing to Maddux? Not at all. First of all, Maddux is 5'11'' or so, JJ is 6'6'', I think. Maddux throws 88 tops and has a dizzying array of ways to throw a fastball. JJ throws 94, can reach 95, and has a sinker a la Brandon Webb. That's a better comparison, although Webb's ground ball-fly ball ratio is more extreme.

you misunderstoodmy comparison between the two. I wasn't saying they were similar pitchers, I was saying they are similar in their effectiveness. Neither one will overpower you, but they know how to get you out.
