Mark Buehrle Appreciation Thread

[theblujay]

The guy knows his role, knows his strengths, knows his limits and gets the job done. He works fast, throws strikes and makes them put it in play.

 

The guy's a professional.

All Hail Mark Buhrle

[theblujay]

This isn't an overreaction to a SSS hot start. We know what to expect from him because he's done it for years. Just a solid player who really knows how to pitch.

[theblujay]

I honestly feel like you'd be making the exact opposite of this post if he'd tanked the first four.

 

Ok thanks for your input

[havok24]

Mark Buehrle is a bad ass.

[havok24]

Pretty good returns for both of us so far on the Joyce/Buehrle swap.

 

Yup. Looks like it was a good swap for us both.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Love his pace, though he didn't have a great start today, 3 BB and a HBP pretty uncharacteristic.

 

...

 

A 7IP 0ER 4H performance is a great start.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

13 straight seasons with 200IP

 

They don`t come more durable than Mark Buehrle.

...and his UCL separates as the "post reply" was pressed.

 

I decided to look up if Buehrle has ever had a better 4 game stretch and while he had a great stretch in 2005 and 2001 this is in the top 3 or 4. Pretty impressive.

[Caper]

Last year.... at this point, I didn't think the team could give him away. I still don't know how he can be so effective with how slow he pitches.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Wiill be interesting to see what kind of interest he`ll get at the deadline this year.

 

Would be a no brainer to deal him if we`re out of it.

[The_DH]

Gotta admire his style. True professional.

[bzapple]

He's racking up the winz and he's got vetrin presents through the roof.

Was thinking the same thing. If you can get out from a 19 mm contract and actually get a prospect.

[G-Snarls]

I'll definitely be keeping this avatar for a while if he keeps pitching anywhere near this well

I agree with you, even if he is playing his worth with that contract, shifting him would make more sense longterm.

 

Unless they're in it, which AA has to believe in this season or he's shitcanned, so he probably won't be moved.

I'm buying a Mark Buehrle jersey next time I go to the jays shop. Let's all vote him for the all star game as soon as we can vote.

Can't vote for pitchers

 

Need to lobby Farrell to pick him

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Has been impressive. Its likely he will resort back to regular numbers before long. But he got off to such an awful start last year that his overall numbers will probably look much better. And last year I would take any day. Except for April.

 

Everyone can have an outlier year that just doesn't jive with their normal performance. Never know.

 

The younger pitchers should learn from him on how to conduct themselves on the mound. Get the ball and pitch. Work quickly.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

If we're out of it, it's a no brain deal. What if we're still in it? Do we think about it if some of our AA/AAA guys are ready to make the jump to the majors?

 

If we're still in it of course we don't trade him.

[Angrioter]

Be ready for "Buehrle regression to the mean thread" or "The luck is gone"

[Sparky12]

Pretty remarkable how good buhrle has been this year hope he keeps having success, if only we could get some consistency out of dickey

We've got consistency, he is consistently 5+ ERA. His only inconsistency is his BS excuses, pick one and stick with it.

[shortstop]

and he's been doing all this since he was 20/21...remarkable...hopefully will get his 200th career win later this year...

 

who knows, maybe he'll pitch until he's 40/41 like Glavine....

He probably will. There will always be a spot for a 200 innings, 4-5 ERA type in the back of somebody's rotation. The dude just does not break down (knock on wood).

[BigBounceyBlueBalls]

3 of him and you could have a 5-6 man pen and one f***ing hell of a bench!

Fill it with scrubs AA ! Wink Wink, nudge nudge, Say no more ! Lol

[Orgfiller]

6.2 innings of pure craftiness, 3.11 xFIP.

 

I love this man.

[Chappy]

Remember when a lot of posters were saying RR would be better than him two winters ago, lol.

[HERPDERP]

Only reason why he was s*** last year in the 1st half was because his catcher was the future HOF'er Arencibia.

The curse of JPA. Unfortunately even releasing the guy can't rid us of his big f***ing mouth.
