Kudos to Snit by replacing Ender’s ass
The difference is I didn’t need to see these few bad starts to identify the type of pitcher Newk is. I knew what he was after his first 100 innings at the MLB level.
He is a ~2 win guy, either as a frustrating #4, or a high leverage BP arm. Guys at his age are very unlikely to improve their command significantly, and I’ve been saying so for months.
A lot of folks didn’t want to hear it. A lot of folks argued endlessly against me, as usual. One guy even quoted me in his sig because he thought I was proven wrong.
All those folks were wrong, as usual. They will be wrong again the next time.
Figures.
Braves have 3 BB and 7 hits to go with the brewers 3 errors = 1 run. Great job, braves
I think the point was that his command was unlikely to improve significantly. Unlikely being the key word. Doesn't mean it can't happen. Just not smart to count on it. Newk is fine being currently in the rotation. Just need to understand that some of the younger guys coming up through the system have a better chance of success.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
I think it's time for Gohara to get in the rotation and stick for a bit, even if management disagrees.
Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.
Two efficient innings from Gohara.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Dude. Seriously who cares. It’s an internet message board. The results of which make zero difference in the lives of people.
Some people got too over zealous hoping he was gonna be real good. It is obvious he has flaws. I don’t see the high leverage bullpen guy without somewhat decent control anyway. But like was said earlier, he’s on a bad stretch right now, he’s not this bad. Or as good as he has looked at times. It’s pretty much always somewhere in between.
Gohara needs to be starting
