Scott Feldman Today, 2013

[Spy Fox]

Feldman is arrieta, no better.

I was as big an Arrieta supporter as anyone else on here, but this is silly.

Feldman has been about a league average starter in 118 career starts spread over six seasons. Arrieta has been about a replacement level starter in 63 career starts over four seasons. Arrieta has to have a big turnaround, and then keep that momentum going for a couple years, to start being as good as Feldman.

Feldman is arrieta, no better.

LOL.

(That coming from one of the most obstinate Arrieta supporters around)

Feldman is arrieta, no better.

What brilliant insight. Care to elaborate how they are the same?

[Miamiorioles]

Silver, why don't u turn on the game to answer your question.

Silver, why don't u turn on the game to answer your question.

I would if I wasn't at work, so I must depend on your analysis.

Did Arrieta make it through 5 innings on 72 pitches at any point this year?

[glenn__davis]

Saying he's Arrieta is silly. But I was not really a fan of the deal and he certainly didn't do anything to endear me tonight.

Not going to make a big deal about one start, just have to hope he improves.

U cud say the same for Patton

Did Arrieta make it through 5 innings on 72 pitches at any point this year?

Yes (almost.)

On June 27th against AAA-Columbus, he made it through the 5th inning on 73 pitches.

Wait a minute.

On April 10th against the Red Sox, he did make it through the 5th inning on 69 pitches.

He allowed 3 runs in those 5 innings, and was removed from the game for Tommy Hunter.

He did walk 4 batters in those 5 innings, though.

[Miamiorioles]

The point is, Lee type pitcher is what we need to go deep in postseason, not a guy who has been sent packing twice since '03. Angelos will never spend the $ needed to win.

[LookitsPuck]

I like Feldman. Deserved a better fate.

Did anyone else hear Buck is screwing with Feldman's TTP? It's asinine.

[Miamiorioles]

Buck knows that he was just handed another piece of sh-t by the cash resistant front office. Angelos had better hope that CD's needle induced HR's continue after the break because we don't have the pitching to stay in this thing.

Care to provide some valid evidence to suggest Lee was/is available? Even if he was, the Orioles don't have the pieces to get him or a similar player. And Jake Arrieta wishes he had Scott Feldman's career at this point.
