GDT 8/8 BRAVES vs. BREWERS

I didn't think the location of the HR pitch was that bad, in a vacuum. Sinker at the bottom of the zone, middle / away.
 
If you find yourself saying "he just hits his spots and knows how to change speeds", or "he just knows how to pitch", rest assured you are talking about a AAAA pitcher. Especially if that guy's stuff is that poor in his early 20s.

How many times do we have to see it before we wise up?

Well if he can't be anything according to you... I honestly have no idea why we are even looking at him.

Really, embarrassing and inexcusable? Guy just threw a quality start in just his 2nd major league start, 1 BB and 7 K's, and you pick out one pitch that really wasn't even that bad? Geez.

Yah... a little over the top dramatic comment. Plenty of aces give up homers to terrible hitters.

Would glavine be AAAA today?
 
When it comes to the 4 SPs that we've only seen a little at the MLB level, I'd rank them like this: Gant > Whalen > Blair > Jenkins. Assuming the mid-90's version of Aaron Blair comes to Spring Training next year, I suspect he'll pass up Whalen for me, but probably not Gant.

I don't know if he will make it or not. I would like to see him a few more times before deciding. I see some potential.

Apparently you know already.

Well, are you unhappy because we're so gosh-darn gullible, or because you are?

Given your brilliance, described in Trumpian terms, I'm pretty sure you didn't take the bait. Which means you're mad at us. But that has no impact on you, so why do you give a ****?

Shhhh. We're not supposed to use them as comps. Scouting is much more scientific now. You don't even need to see them play, just read a spreadsheet.

I think first it was if you can't strike out at least 7 -8 a game then don't bother.. Then it was you must throw 95 to be good, but also the Brewers don't count because they are a bad team. Whalen really doesn't have a shot if you think about it.
