j-man, koch stinks for two reasons:
1) his fastball has no movement. i don't care if he can throw 97 mph, a major league hitter will crush a straight fastball
2) he is stupid. i have seen him make stupid pitches time and time again. giving up 0-2 extra basehits because he doesn't waste a pitch. grooving a get-me-over fastball on 3-0 with two outs and first base open in a tie ballgame...giving up a homerun. he is just a dumb guy.
manuel is stupid too and reinsdorf is a cheap sob so, my guess is they will run him out there again in september because "he's making so much money". hope i'm wrong.
