Guest mz. Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 I'm hoping Solon16 will approve of this topic. After 42 career relief appearances -- 16 this season -- Jeff Samardzija (1-1, 6.29) will make his first start for Chicago in this contest. The right-hander replaces ace Carlos Zambrano, currently on the disabled list with back spasms. Samardzija is 1-1 with a 7.36 ERA in three career appearances against the Phillies. He allowed a game-winning three-run homer to Jayson Werth in Philadelphia's 4-1, 13-inning win over the Cubs on July 21. via here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffer X Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 No, blowing would be Drew Henson or Josh Booty in their respective careers. The fact that Sam has made the bigs says a lot, even if not for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aloysius Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Yikes. Pitchers IP H R ER BB SO HR PC-ST ERA J Samardzija (L, 1-2) 3.1 8 7 7 0 4 1 74-45 7.81 And this from Daniel Jeremiah, a former Browns scout: I gave Samardzija a 2nd round grade before he opted for Baseball... Excellent size/hands/instincts Think he chose the wrong sport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammertime Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 He had some nice heat. Give some more big league experiance and he'll be a servicable player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flugel Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Yikes. Pitchers IP H R ER BB SO HR PC-ST ERA J Samardzija (L, 1-2) 3.1 8 7 7 0 4 1 74-45 7.81 And this from Daniel Jeremiah, a former Browns scout: Think he chose the wrong sport? LOL! I was just thinking how much more appropriate he'd look wearing a Browns' uniform. You can't overthrow this kid and he's got a wing span that covers a couple different area codes. - Tom F.
