  1. I believe it's because he never pitched more than 133 innings in a season. I don't know the numbers but I believe they try to increase a pitcher's innings by 30-35 per year to build up durability which would put him at a risk by most standards for 200 ip. Stroman on the other hand pitched 165 or so the year before his leg injury.
  2. Travis is the most grateful player ever. Every interview, he's just so happy.
  3. We love you Estrada! Eddy, JD, all you boys. boom boom boom http://i.imgur.com/YW5cUOU.gif
  4. Well there's still hope for Cecil, I think.
  5. useful as in a mop up role. Do you really think he's getting Ortiz out regularly? A soft tossing sinkerball lefty as a loogy who mostly pitches to contact is just not MLB material. At least not for coming in with the tieing run at 3rd and we need the K. I just don't see his role on this team.
  6. and he's only given up runs in 1 of his last 9 outings.
  7. Why they call up non K guys as relievers for MLB blows my mind. Call up the 10K/9 guys, this team doesn't need a sinkerball pitcher in relief.
  8. probably because he's our worst reliever
  9. As if we've watched him for 5 years. But yes I agree lol.
  10. This feels f***ing awesome. I don't care if it's the Phillies, we've had a tough schedule.
  11. Estrada looks like he's working as fast as Buehrle
  12. It goes by overall winning % before head to head record.
  13. From everything I've read (been a while now), but I'm under the impression that kids arms are overused before they are fully developed. It starts back in high school where the demand and play time is extreme, they play all year round now where years ago it was just a handful of games beyond their regular league. It's no surprise that most Tommy john injuries are to younger pitchers, development has changed a lot over the last 20+ years for better and for worse. If you consider the amount of camps, tournaments, etc. that get organized from since having access to the internet alone is big. I think it all compiled in to a bigger problem that perhaps no one has really grasped the extent of it yet.
  14. I was wondering how the hell Bautista had a -0.9 WAR... then I clued in.
  15. Pitch Count / Innings Count / whatever. 40 innings is a big difference however that converts to pitch count
  16. Hyphens are a terrible way to separate names and WAR lol.
  17. It's true I agree. I don't really understand why Sanchez is getting babied but hey that's the nature of the business. However, Stroman threw 165 innings in 2014 from 122 the year before. He threw a lot throughout 2015 during his rehab (videos show this and he didn't have an arm injury) so it's quite possible they feel he's good to go and his arm is now ready for 200 innings as the next step.
  18. He hasn't had a season in any level with < 10K/9... He at least finds the zone and gets a lot of Ks. Looks like he missed 2013, must have had a serious injury. This would be a good month to bring him up with weaker competition to test the waters.
  19. Barnes numbers are outstanding, at 27 years old how has he not progressed past AA? Seems like a legitimate pro reliever. Been getting passed for starting prospects?
