Roll Tide

I don’t expect Elias will aim as high as Kopech . We know Getz will be asking for the moon. I could see them chasing a guy like Clevinger.

Interesting……… Hays has no value but guys here want to give up our top pitching prospect for Tanner Scott who has 4 losses in 14 games. I think we should be able to get a decent reliever and a throw in or two. Hays is under control through 2025. Using the SSS slow start over his career numbers.

They could bring up Mayo.

Yeah good article…. I wonder if Hays has a shot of being dealt when he’s ready to return.

No doubt ..Keep it up @Roy Firestone

I think they would ask…. But getting is another story. I mentioned 4 losses in 14 games. Not breaking the bank for that.

looking at his line Scott has 4 loses in 14 appearances. I’m saying he’s a good part of the reason they are selling.

Who is this guy? I honestly didn’t see these types of performances coming. I’m pleasantly surprised with his last few outings. Hopefully he can maintain this level of performance.

Happy to see Bradish throw well. Hopefully this is a sign that he’s good to go.

Like @Frobbysaid “ Assuming 33 starts, he’s on pace for 194 innings at a 2.76 ERA. I think we’d all sign for that in blood. “ So if his kRate is 9.0 that’s certainly be happy.

Yes … but how he compare to Clemens or Ryan. I didn’t look! And I agree it was a different era but it also included the steroid and juiced ball periods. I think it’s possible for him to have a lower K rate as he matures and still be a top performer.

And if that’s a bad outing for him he’s going to have a monster season.

Honestly I’m not sure. But, KC has a better shot at a playoff berth than the Red Sox.Could you have predicted the Rangers would make the World Series last year? The schedule is more even this season but in the past the division strength would’ve made it an easy answer.

Just curious, Was Greg Maddux an ace? Age 30-36 he was a clear #1 and his career K/9 of 6. His best seasons were 7.3 and 7.8. As long as his BB/9 runs don’t increase it isn’t a big deal. The credit for the home run yesterday goes to the hitter. The pitch was far from a meatball. An interesting stats …. Maddux faced around 20,500 batters and only allowed something like 350 3-0 counts ….his BB/9 was 1.8 for his career and under 1.5 from 30-36. After that he wasn’t an ace but a very good #3. And he played part of his career in the roid era. Burnes doesn’t need to fan 10-12 per 9. If he manages a K/9 per 9 that’s plenty good enough if he can get the BB/9 under 2.0. He’s currently at 1.5 this season and was 1.8 two seasons ago. And 2.6 for his career. But that doesn’t matter when your are struck ing 10-12 batters .
