vs. RANGERS, 6/29

[allquixotic]

He was bad, but this guy has two pitches and he can't do anything vs. lefties.

And Arrieta, as we always knew, had a tremendous potential upside. He has a 2.94 ERA in 15 starts for the Cubs this year.

He was not going to realize his upside with the O's, but he had enormous potential. This is all Bud is. He had amazing defense and good offense backing him pretty consistently last year, allowing us to forget how horrible he was. This year our defense has regressed a little and the offense doesn't produce for Bud like it used to. His ERA and win-loss are more in line with what he is, now. This guy could potentially be slightly better than he is this year, but not MUCH better. He isn't in the same league as Arrieta, Tillman, Gonzalez, Chen, Gausman, Jimenez, or even Tommy Hunter.

Because of pitching wins?

That's the best you got?

Ummm yeah because he was good last year especially in the second half. 3.65 ERA and a 1.21 WHIP. What the fudge is wrong with those stats?

His leash is as long as his high salary... $8.8 million. Hard to trade that. Expensive to just eat it.

They have already paid almost half of it.

I've got the Rangers broadcast. What is Palmer saying?

Zen things.

Trevor Wilson and Zach Davies are not exactly chopped liver.

No but how can you expect them to come up to the ML and produce? You cant. THere is a learning curve between AA/AAA and the majors.

WHIP is fine.

ERA is OK.

Pitching wins are the confederate money of stats.

Embarrassing sequence by Machado and Reimold.

Jim Hunter, "Double play ball and there goes the rally."

Rally? Runner at 1B with 1 out is a rally?

Davies is not ready. Tyler Wilson (I assume you mean) is a possibility but not an attractive one.

As unimpressive as Norris has been, the Rangers have gotten quite a few bleeders tonight.
