Remember in 2007 when we pretty much thought Fausto Carmona was the next big thing, and he was the future of the Indians’ pitching staff?Remember when the Indians thought so as well? What in the bejesus happened?
He had had another awful outing yesterday, and was gone by the third inning. It’s time they did a Chien-Ming Wang with him and made up an injury so they could get him off the active roster and send him on some rehab thing where he can go pitch against some little league team and get someone out.
Quotes from Tribe fan Rob Neyer........
“With Tomo Ohka in to pitch the third, I suspect that the Carmona Experiment is over for not just today, but for some time. Whatever made Carmona a Cy Young candidate in 2007 seems to have completely disappeared. And now, every time Carmona pitches he just embarrasses himself and the rest of the organization.
This really sucks. I’ll never forget how dominant he was in the ‘07 postseason. How do you just lose it like that? Is it him? Is it other teams just realizing he isn’t gonna throw strikes and be patient?
Either way….another blow to this depressing organization.”
