It seems painfully obvious at this point that McGowan and Stroman's roles should be reversed. Both are miscast at this point and it's not working for anyone involved not to mention it's a waste of Stroman's service time.

We need two starters and McGowan in the pen . Gibby has wanted McGowan in the pen all year and he is right . If we are going to lose we might as well be developing the Kids and having a better bull pen. The pen has lost a lot of games that with McGowan there might have been saved.

Im ok giving him a bit more of a chance to prove himself, but as I said earlier: He is too short to have a dominant career. He may have a good season or two before he blows out his elbow/rotator cuff, but his value will never be higher than atm. I think he should be traded while he is still worth something.

haven't seen much of Stroman but from the little I have seen, that fastball is too straight as a few others have pointed out & he's getting lit up...

 

My sense is part of the problem is predictability/pitch sequence...he has the stuff to mess with the hitters thought process & will figure it out...

The ugly combination of a straight fastball and his height (which puts his fastball on a lower plane) won't do him wonders. The only thing he can do now is get some movement on that fastball either as a cutter or sinker. We don't have anyone on the team that has either of a good pitch except Buehrle.

Shouldn't this be in the Marcus Stroman is a terrific DBag thread so his scrotum gobbler fans can dispute it?

Couldn't find it

The Rockies

 

Not who should, but who does :)

 

He WAS demoted to AAA, and they were on the record stating that his next start after being called up wasn't a given.

Easily the Jays. They know the rockies are dum and will want Arenado included along with Gray for Stroman.

Not that it's an excuse but injuries have destroyed any chance this team ever had this year.

 

Even fully healthy there's no chance we even compete with the Yanks/Sox/Astros/M's/Indians.

 

Hopefully they go full on in embracing the rebuild at the deadline so I can look forward to a contender in 3-5 years down the road.

I need to see the video or hear the audio but the question does seem very irrelevant. But it's not like Stroman has contributed much to being successful.

Well, Sanchez and Tulo are always injured, so it's not like anyone should've expected much out of them and Donaldson in the lineup wouldn't have made too drastic of a difference. He'd likely just get pitched around anyways as no one else is really producing much with the bat.

 

Looking at the averages of the offensive starters across the board is super ugly. Only 1 regular with an average over 250 and no one with an average over 260. The Mirage is the leader at 257 LOL

 

Shapiro and Atkins deserve a little bit of the heat.
