I like how that one girl said he's a soccer player and the next guy called her a stupid hoe. That was funny

Roger Clemens has won 7 Cy Young awards and is considered one of the greatest pitchers ever, this does not constitute "not doing so good in baseball". He is getting older- he's what, 44 years old- quite remarkable for a pitcher to last this long. He is one of the greats- you are way off there buddy.

Because he can't hit 2-3 homeruns every game. There is no pitcher in baseball history that has won a game where their team didn't score a run. This is the same as last year, where he had the leagues best era and barely was over .500 because of no run support. This reminds me of his idol Nolan Ryan in 1987. That year, the express led the national league in ERA, led the league in strikeouts, and yet finished 8-16.

It's not because Roger Clemens is old, it's because he doesn't lack the passion he once had. I believe that because he now has a family and son coming up through the minor league system, it has messed with his head and emotions.

A. Age is not an excuse. If he didnt think he could do it, theres no way he would be out there.
B. Lack of Offensive Support
C. Technically, this is still spring training for him. he only had 3 starts prior to the Twins start. most pitchers will get at least 5 or 6 starts before the season. give him time. you will see the rocket.

Well, his won-lost is deceptive, since his ERA is only 2.38. What that means is that he's pitching really well, because you're supposed to be allowed to give up two runs, but since the Astros don't give run support, two runs can really hurt you.

He is a little rusty right now, just wait. Also, the Astros need some offense to get them all pumped up!

No run support, period. The man can still outpitch 95% of the league, but if his offense can't get him any runs, he can't win.

Run Support by his teammates

He is doing good. He just isn't getting any run support.
