This is one of the worst teams ever

Gee Roy, with all that sunshine and positivity, you must really love the fact that some of the young guys are playing quite well on this trainwreck.

I enjoy Nunez and Villar and Wynns and Tanner Scott.

2008 was the team that I really did not like,

They had a few nice players.

But, having 5 Shortstops throughout the season, and none of them could play, really was disappointing to sit through.

I like watching them now than more than any point in the season.  

Mullins alone makes them more watchable.

Even if Cal and Brooks was on this team, it would be hard to watch a 16-5 dubbing.

Sure but I would rather watch some kids than a team heading nowhere. They were done in mid April.

I guess I am just a sore loser, I hate to lose.

Cobb's 100-pitch complete game win was enjoyable to watch.  The whole team seemed to be locked in on that day.

Davis and Trumbo and Caleb, Beckham and Gentry? Absolutely.  But I like watching Villar, Mullins, Nunez, and even Mancini.  Call me crazy but I like watching Cobb's starts.

If you’re referring to the Miguel Tejada and Erik Bedard trades, those happened in 2007-2008 offseason. We’re talking about four years later and we never had a farm system worth a dang. Otherwise I’m not sure what you’re referring to.

EDIT: In fact, the top four pitchers by WAR in 2012: O’Day, Chen, Hammel, and Gonzalez  were all Duquette acquisitions, plus Luis Ayala. He spun a 4.4 bWAR pitching staff into a 22.6 one. I find it hard to believe that anyone could say Duquette inherited everything from MacPhail. That’s fake news pal.

 

Great post, and a point not made on here enough IMO.

13 out of 23 starts were Quality, and his last 7 games was 2.14 ERA, damn, thats right, we cant use ERA when discussing pitching.

It has been made, but the vocal DD haters cry loud and hard about DD.

I like the fact that his last 7 starts combined (in which he has a 2.14 ERA and a 1.079 WHIP) could very well be an indicator of the pitcher that we will see next year, as opposed to the Cobb that we saw in his first 3 starts of the season (when he had no Spring Training to work with.)

Since those first 3 starts, 16 out of his next 20 have been non-disastrous.

 

And if that winds up being the case, I would like to keep Cobb around for 2020 and 2021 also (the length of his current contract with the Orioles), through the current rebuild and next franchise Renaissance.

While they are a bad team I disagree with everything else.  Since the Machado trade they have become loveable and interesting.  How can you not love the Mullins story?
