What are our guys looking for with 2 strikes come on.

They're not gonna hit that high sinker. Even if they do, I doubt they do anything with it.

are they all not talking about the fact that this guy will bust righties inside on 2 strikes?  like why are they still being surprised by this, dumb fucking players on this team

No shit did anybody read the scouting report?

If you really think you absolutely have to get a hit to have a good at bat then you really don't know anything about baseball. 

Only Randy Johnson is capable of throwing a good pitch? The fuck are you even trying to say?

If Frank Thomas was up in that same situation and didn't have a productive out or drive the runner in, it's a failure.  If Abreu was in the same situation its a failure.  If Madrigal was up in the same situation it's a failure.  I am sorry that I upset the Mercedes fanboy contingent.  Keep telling yourself that was a successful AB and he just got aced by an unhittable pitch.

One guy has an OPS of 1.240 and the other has an OPS of .680. it's not difficult to see why. 

One guy we know is good at baseball and one guy it's too soon to know.

He has proven that he sucks ass too

How about someone else? Gonzalez? Rutherford? Odds are those 2 suck too but Garcia has proven he blows

Not being able to turn any of the college outfielders (plus Rutherford) they've drafted over the last 4 into something better than Leury Garcia is pretty brutal.

Him starting game 3 of a playoff series this year will be fun, too.

Which of the following is going to die/get hurt: Gio, Keuchel, Lynn?

I would trust Kopech over Keuchel in a playoff game.

Me too. 

Lynn might already be dead though.

I saw something that Kopech was top 5 in baseball in fastball carry. Giolito was #2. 

Nasty slider too.  Mercy.

Wow!
