Yeah, different body types, but otherwise reminds me a little of Jeff Suppan. The stuff isn't overpowering, but when right...just relentless of not giving in to hitters, letting them get themselves out. [Reply]

Not seeing it; maybe Kyle Lohse? Woodford has had plenty of times that he just hasn't seemed interested in being there and when his stuff isn't working, he's not going to go out there and make up a new approach on the fly like Suppan. And Soupy was a pitch mix guy; 4 pitches he'd use to some effect on any given night. Woodford is fastball/slider with a couple of show me pitches in his curve and change that don't really do anything but steal strikes. He's not the same kind of pitcher at all.

What a waste of such raw talent. Now he’s an abuser of kids? Taking out his failure of life on his kids? [Reply]
And what does Pujols do as a pitch hitter in the bottom of the 8th in a 0-0 game in his last game and AB against the rival Cubs. 1st base open. Man on second. They call time. Discuss. Decide to pitch to Pujols. Big mistake. Crushes it. Damn I’m loving this.
