    Agreed. You have to make strong contact at least

    Actually...yea it was.

    Told my wife we weren’t scoring here. That’s what throwing money at a top game pitcher will do for you. Instead we keep throwing out draft bust after bust out there.

    That inning is the exact example of why power matters. In this game, it's simply too hard given BABIP sequencing to just go single single single to score a run.
    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.

    I realize that this should probably be a separate thread but there's a lot of talk on this board of how the results of our pitching based rebuild have been disappointing. We look at other team's elite pitchers and our young arms often look pretty tepid by comparison.

    However, it occurs to me that we're putting guys out there with an average age of about 20 years old. The Mets stud pitchers' ages are: deGrom (30), Syndergaard (25), and Wheeler (28). Our youngsters seem to routinely face opponents that are far more seasoned so it's not shocking when they struggle more than we'd like. Newcombe is 25 and he's probably the most developed.

    I remember how badly Glavine got torched when he first came up amid a lot of hype in 1987. IMO it's far too early to give up on our current crop of guys or label them busts.

    Joe is such a moron. How could he possibly think that pitch was a change up?
