GDT #62, 6/9/14: BRAVES (Winless Floyd) vs. ROCKIES (debut of BERGMAN); 8:40 EDT

[NinersSBChamps]

Nolasco 4 years 49M

Hughes 3 years 24M

I could go on. AJ Burnett, Lincecum, etc etc.

All of those pitchers are better than Gavin Floyd. Except Phil Hughes.

 

[UNCBlue012]

LaStella taking a walk! Come on Simmons...

 

[UNCBlue012]

Freaking Simmons. Be patient, the kid just walked LaStella. Makes me so mad.

 

[USMA76]

Andrelton spits the bit...sigh.

 

[jsebe10]

He can hit, just doesn't know how to.

He swung at the right pitch. Just got under it. Again

You haven't seen Lincecum pitch the last couple years then. Check out his 2012-2013 numbers.

 

[UNCBlue012]

He can hit, just doesn't know how to.

I've been saying this for a while. He's a good hitter who is just a work in progress. I know that from a interview that he doesn't work on his hitting much in the summer, well not anywhere near as much as defense.

Not to mention he gangster hacked at it again. Nothing wrong with taking a little off the swing.

Just out of curiosity, why do yall think he can hit. Is it bc be doesn't strikeout?

Floyd has had seasons like that as well. Also I hate Lincecum, but come on man you are really reaching right now.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Simple question then. Would you give Floyd a 2 year deal for 20 million?

 

[UNCBlue012]

Just out of curiosity, why do yall think he can hit. Is it bc be doesn't strikeout?

A mix of that and when he's streaking, he stops trying so hard to hit it out of the park, his swing is a thing of beauty. It's like he thinks too hard about it instead of letting it come. His contact numbers being so high is a really solid reasoning too.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Simple question then. Would you give Floyd a 2 year deal for 20 million?

Hard to say. IF I knew for a fact that Medlen wouldn't be able to come back or wouldn't come back, yes.

 

[jsebe10]

Certain situations this year and last season mainly he came up with some big hits. Like that big 3 run HR in Washinton last year and the 2 or 3 walk off hits that he had last year. The potential is there, just lacks the proper approach and mechanics. Just my opinion.

 

[nsacpi]

Let me ask the same question I asked at the same point in last night's game. Should Fredi leave our starting pitcher in for the 7th inning or should he pinch hit for him?

 

[nsacpi]

Simple question then. Would you give Floyd a 2 year deal for 20 million?

Yeah. He'll make more.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Yeah. He'll make more.

10 million dollars for our 4th starter at best?

 

[jsebe10]

Let me ask the same question I asked at the same point in last night's game. Should Fredi leave our starting pitcher in for the 7th inning or should he pinch hit for him?

He's past what's left of the "heavy hitters" of the dipleted lineup...sure, give him another.

Think I might make a trip out to Denver next year. It really does look like a great place to go for a baseball series.
