Bud Norris in Norfolk

[Il BuonO]

I know lots of people don't care for Bud and that they gave up too much for him.

But, I don't buy into, that he is a below average pitcher.

But, for whatever reason, he isn't the same pitcher this season as he was, last year.

I suspect next season, he will be pitching elsewhere, and the new Calvary will be here.

Hey, RR, I played the game and let me tell ya, he sucks. Furthermore, the "eye test" will tell you he's just not that good.

Or, you could look at BBREF and discover that his career ERA+ 90 is, wait for it, below average.

Sorry to be the one.

LOL

Well, I guess, he had a career year last year, he sure passed the ole eye test for sure.

But, maybe if he walked more, then he would get more respect in OH. :beerchug1:

I was talking about his ineffectiveness all season (to include spring training).

Right. Shockingly, he may just not be that good. I know his record and ERA were pretty good last year. He was still a 1.6 fWAR pitcher. He's a guy who just isn't all that good and the margin for error is small.

My eyes bleed when I watch Bud Norris.

What??? Only 1.6 WAR? How can that be? The man had 15 wins. Say it ain't so.

Well back when I played the game (little league) they didn't give trophies out to the kids with the highest WAR, they gave them out to the kids that won! (and smaller ones to everyone else)

he said "f"War was 1.6

According to BBref, his WAR was 1.9

now, they give the same size to all the kids, no matter who won. SMH

So, this year Bud gets a participation trophy?

Nah, Buck Gnomes.

I think they have to buy their own now.

Even back then I knew it was a lame practice.

They just gave us a tin of chewing tobacco. Team that won it all got the good stuff.

Nah, Buck Gnomes.

"Earlier today the Baltimore Orioles traded veteran Bud Norris and a figurine gnome of manager Buck Showalter just to be rid of Norris' remaining salary."

When my boy played, this was the craze that all the boys had to have.
