A gem is like 7 shutout innings in my mind. This wasn’t even a quality start. I’m not saying he was bad.

Well that’s just false.

The bums in Pittsburgh came crashing back to Earth even quicker than last year. Blown out by Boston.

I wouldn’t classify this as a gem, even by Kremer’s standards.

Kremer needs to let the lion’s mane flow while he’s on the mound. The man bun isn’t intimidating anyone.

Keegan Achin’

That Queens of the Stone Age album is great.

Marsh sucks vs RHB

I wonder if it’s as expensive as Five Guys. I ate there a few weeks ago and may never recover financially.

Jackson made contact!

Better than a homer after a walk.

In the two games he didn’t pitch against us, he got lit up by the White Sox and had a mediocre outing vs the Mets.

A fountain of bbq sauce flowing onto a rack of ribs.

Not “another” because this guy has already carved us up once.

Philly’s are awful.

Maybe you’re allowing the browser to track your precise location in the settings? That was an issue that I had before. Even with the VPN on, it was blocking me.

Right, he has a slider but he’s shelved it so far this year.

Statcast calls it a cutter.

I’m going to take 19 hits in 15 IP with a grain of salt. Obviously it doesn’t look good on the stat page, but for all I know, the majority of those could’ve been weak contact that found holes. His BABIP was .378. Maybe you or someone that watched his outings can clarify. I’m much more interested in his K/BB ratio and HRs, all of which were very solid.

It’s Fangraphs version of WAR.

I didn’t realize that Holliday putting up less than 3 WAR meant that the sky is falling. Also, I don’t even use twitter and I know that people here are far more intelligent baseball fans.

Well there’s a big difference between a good fielding SS and an average fielding 2nd baseman when it comes to WAR. Unless you think Holliday is elite at 2B. I’m not so sure about that yet.

The Rays also traded him to Cleveland for Junior Caminero.

Twins fans must think Cedric Mullins is prime Willie Mays.
