Horacio Ramirez Suck-Diddly-Ucks.
But gosh, it's not like you could've totally seen this coming ahead of time or anything.
What a horrible pitcher. And what a horrible trade.

I hate you, Ho

Ya know what
Consider this (not including today's stats):
Lifetime BB/9: 3.56
2007 BB/9: 6.20
Lifetime BABIP: .281
2007 BABIP: .388
He also is giving up a few more FB but his HRs haven't looked too out of control. Besides the walks and hitter's luck he's the same pitcher we thought he'd be basically. If he gets the walks under control he's going to be useful. Not good, but useful.

It's a lengthy statement by Dave but my favorite part of the post is...
"It's B.S. They are, once again, valuing personality over talent, and letting their frustrations get in the way of evaluative decisions.
They all deserve to be fired. Every last one of them."

Yeah, but he's in the AL now

Send Morrow to Tacoma now
We're not obligated to bring Ho back next year, right?

How about Reitsma in the rotation?

The guy can barely completely an inning

Meh, we stretch him out a bit

The scary thing?
And THAT person (or worse yet, persons) may still be around next year....

You're assuming...
I'm not sure that this organization is functional or agile enough to allow an incoming GM to do a housecleaning that's needed.

you may not be able to fire him

Assuming...
by rtang on May 9, 2007 8:15 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I figure that ...
It may or may not be true, but that's a face-saving way to get him out of the rotation.

Welcome to the AL, Hoacio Ramirez
Bottom-third hitters Craig Monroe, Omar Infante and Brandon Inge went 7-for-9 against Ramirez with four doubles, a triple and six RBIs. In Ramirez's previous start in Boston, the bottom four hitters were 7-for-10 against him.
"Pretty big difference," Ramirez said. "Basically (in the NL) you've got the eighth guy you can kind of pitch around, and you've got the pitcher on deck, which is almost a sure out. Over here in the American League, these guys put up a tough lineup, one through nine, and they don't give up at-bats."
....
"He was throwing the ball well as far as his velocity and economy of pitches, but when he needed to make a pitch he was up in the zone and in over the plate, and that's just not good," Hargrove said. "You've got to be aggressive and get ahead of hitters. When Horacio got ahead of hitters, he got outs."
Ramirez felt like he was being fairly aggressive -- for the first time as a Mariner, he didn't walk a batter -- but simply made bad pitches when it counted.
"I'm just going to have to try to figure something out," he said. "I'm just going through one of those dry spells, and hopefully it'll end soon. ... I've got to make better pitches, flat-out."
Good luck with that.
