Pitching
- Thread starter vbsideout
- Start date
Waino will suck all year. Better get accustomed to it. His cutter location is horrid. And it just spins. Most overrated pitch in all of baseball. He's basically a #5 starter now. A borderline solid #5, but that's where he's at. Boys, you better start realizing...this team could lose 90 way easier than it could win 90. I stated 79-83 back in the spring. Anybody bold enough to take the over on 79 right now???
1. It is very early in the season
2. Waino is definitely on the decline
3. I've been hearing that Yadier is playing with a renewed energy this year
4. The Cubs are still ridiculous
5. This team reminds me of the Early Mid 90's teams. A few good players, but no keystone people....the ole Gant, Jordan, Lankford, Jeffries, Tewkbury, Lee Smith, Zeile...please don't take me back.

1. It is very early in the season...Totally agree. But what we're seeing isn't new in some regards. But...Marp will Marp. Fowler won't hit .180 all year. Cecil won't have an ERA higher than my weight.
2. Waino is definitely on the decline...Completely. If he has a .500 record and an ERA that's not in the 5's, I'll consider it a win. Dude just isn't that good anymore.
3. I've been hearing that Yadier is playing with a renewed energy this year...Tends to happen when you fleece someone for $60M. Lol
4. The Cubs are still ridiculous...Insanely good. And what's worse is, I really like watching them play.

Even looked those teams up on BR. Scary how similar they are.
With Yadi, a lot of people have a post-contract slump. Maybe he can play at a high level this season and not make it feel like such a rip off.
You include Lee Smith with lineup you obviously don't think much of? LeeSmith should be a HOF'er.
As was Jordan. Lankford may be the most under rated player the Birds have had in my lifetime.
Yeah I'd go along with that. Simmons had numbers for a switch hitter that not many ever achieved.
At least your very diverse in who you like.
Richard is a switch hitter also.
