I'm sure this is probably too mainstream for you, indie guy.

Not all mainstream music sucks.

 

 

That does, but not all of it.

He pitched 8 complete and 1 hit Giants last start

The Giants.

Would it be too much to hope that G Rod and Means both get it together in time to boost us in September and October?

Right.

At least they are getting the pitch count up.

So the 7+ERA that he was sent down for was not an anomaly?

No. He's not good. I guess he got away with it a little in Oakland for a couple of years. But he has to have great control, with that type of below average stuff.

I'm not sure what Elias saw in him. He may be one of those players who looks better on paper than he actually is in person.

Their strike zone is enormous.

I don't want one of those either.  I want an actual front of the rotation guy.

Like Carlos Rodon or Jacob deGrom?

My guess?

1. He's got years of team control left
2. Could be acquired for little prospect capital
3. Left handed

Gosh, we have been a ground ball factory

[Gurgi]

I just dont want us trading real talent for a rental like they did with Boston and Rodrigez.  We never had pitching prospects and they sent probably one of our best for one pitcher who was only on the team for two months.  It was dumb then and if we do the same type of stuff it will be dumb now.  

Whoever we get has to be under control for at least two years.

I wanted Bassitt who has been healthy at least and didn't sign for a ton.

Funny how people keep mentioning free agents and not players that would be traded for.

[Moose Milligan]

Mancini, of course.

[Baltimorecuse]

Seriously, that's a batting practice pitch.  That's what a hitter wants in HR Derby.
