MLB Daily Thread: 4-13-16 Clay Fantastic Again, Last Place Coming

[DirtDirtDirt]

How long til the Yankees are overpaying for him?

The Yankees have decided to sit back and wait for the Mets to lowball Noah and Jacob

 

[bravesfan]

I think to some extent he's already done that. His average fastball velocity was about as low as it's ever been last year and he still had a 14 game stretch where his ERA was 2.27.

Then again, his fastball so far in 2016 is as fast as it's been since 2012, so maybe he thinks he's a flamethrower again. I do think he has the ability to adjust his style to a loss of velocity.

We'll see.

Tim Hudson was consistent 87 mph and hung around for 4 more seasons so it's doable

Gotta get some work done, b back later

Then who's taking Ross' spot in the rotation?

Tanner Roark

Not that it relates to our discussion, but if you like books, you might enjoy one I read called Living on the Black. It's about Glavin's and Mussina's last seasons. Granted, Glavin was with the Mets then, but I assume you're a fan of his. It was pretty interesting.

They feel awesome. He's a totally PED free, first ballot HOFer. Just ask Rock.

 

[packerzrule]

fuck Big Papi - Yaz forever

This may shock and alarm several of you, but during his last start, Bartolo Colon actually reached 92 on the gun

You will miss me when I'm gone

 

[redseat]

Buttholze, pretty much without fail, will either be shitty or be broken.

Tomorrow he will be on the DL I'm sure

 

[redseat]

Can David Price pitch every day?

well not like he had a great outing his last time out either.

Mets getting no-hit again

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Nah. He's got a 10.00 ERA. If he keeps that up, I expect he'll be good for 185+ innings.

It's when he drops that ERA to the low threes that you need to worry about a DL trip.

I think JV's fastball velocity bottomed out in 2014. Late last year, he was hitting 97-98 on the gun at times. I don't think he topped 94 mph this past Monday, though.
