    5 good starters > 4 good ones and 1 crap You don't HAVE to have a crappy pitcher in your rotation
  2. G-Snarls
    Surely to God some team would want a package including some 2 among Redmond/Rogers/McGowan/Happ + a prospect I'd like to keep them all as depth but none have options and we can't carry them all in the bullpen long term Untenable

    Medical training and work enhance the powers of observation.

    And here we go again, we all seem to have this debate on a weekly basis
  5. G-Snarls
    Here's how I would separate the two questions that we seem to be asking ourselves 1. McGowan didn't blow the game last night because it was the bullpen who gave up most of the runs 2. Despite that, he didn't pitch that well according to the best stats, and his performance overall this season, including last night suggests he's not good enough to keep a starting job

    Crap Weird

    He faced 19 batters and one – ONE! – hit the ball out of the infield, a lazy fly ball to centre by Kristopher Negron that was beyond routine for Anthony Gose. Mike Wilson hit a soft popper to Ryan Goins at second for the only other ball in the air, and the other six outs that didn’t come via strikeout were all on weak ground balls, one snared niftily between the legs by a spinning Stroman. The volume of grounders is an important sign as pitching down in the zone has been a focal point because “he got away with some stuff thigh-high last year with double-A hitters,” said Bisons manager Gary Allenson.

    The immediate conclusion was that he was being lined up with Dustin McGowan, who is barely hanging on to his spot in the rotation. But their primary thinking was to set him up as an option for a spot start this Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates (who had a scout in attendance), or versus the Philadelphia Phillies on May 5 or 6. Should McGowan indeed return to the bullpen, J.A. Happ is likely to get the first crack at the rotation slot because he has a big-league track record, the club wants to give him a chance to see how he fares, and its investment of $5.2 million in the left-hander is ample incentive to do it. Stroman is the leading candidate should they indeed have someone make a spot start to provide an extra day of rest for their five-man rotation at the front end of a 20-game slate. Concerns about adding him to the 40-man roster, starting his service-time clock and potentially burning an option by sending him back down won’t be factors in the decision.

    A side note, and this may be little more than due diligence on the part of the Chicago Cubs, but major-league scout Dave Littlefield was among those watching Stroman.

    For sure So I'm hoping that AA is doing Billy-Beane style watching and tweaking mid season. (looks like Beane doesn't have to this year LOL)
  13. G-Snarls
    Agreed. Were they unlucky on batted balls? Sure. But when there are runners on in high leverage situations, and you bring in your supposedly best relievers (Delabar, Cecil, Santos last night, Loup not used) in matchups that you've chosen to their advantage, you NEED strikeouts and ground balls. They failed to provide those last night.
  14. G-Snarls
    The Marlins could trade Jose Fernandez and Giancarlo Stanton for probably all the top 10 MLB prospects right now They're sitting on gold
  15. G-Snarls
    Game 27 Reyes (3pts) - Melky (2pts) - JaysAllMighty, G-Snarls Bautista (1pt) - Jonn, Orgfiller, Edwin (1pt) - Dylan, JFaS Navarro (4pts) - Francisco (2pts) - Chappy, Angrioter, Rasmus (2pts) - o2cui2i, Spanky99 Lawrie (1pt) - Diaz (9pts) - Getz (9pts) - Streaks Flafson going for 6 in a row!! +4 Deadpool going for 3 in a row! +1
  16. G-Snarls
    Who knows how he would have done, but I agree he deserved a month up here.
  17. G-Snarls
    And last year the bullpen was dependable
  18. G-Snarls
    Split finger
  19. G-Snarls
    Game over Yanks lose Yes
  20. G-Snarls
    Oh f***. Fernando Rodney up with tying run at the plate.
  21. G-Snarls
    McGowan headed back out!
  22. G-Snarls
    Let's score more!
  23. G-Snarls
    I like this offense Getz depens the lineup
  24. G-Snarls
    Because HR BB and K all tell you a lot about what the pitcher did in one game. Way more so than runs scored/ERA.
  25. G-Snarls
    AA pretty much has to make a trade somehow
