Friday, July 19th Conversation: Dbacks @ Giants

[AZ Sun]

Corbin has a shot at being legit. He hits 93-95 has good off speed stuff and solid command. I think he'll regress but he'll still put up good numbers. He's nothing like Miley or Kennedy.

Yeah, he's not a pussy. He has some mental toughness but apart from his slider he really doesn't have any great "stuff".

 

[Driaz]

Yeah man for sure.... I always enjoy talking to people that are smarter than me....

Kennedy is close to that "do better or you are done" point, I think. That is one of the reasons I believe the Dbacks decided to start the second half with him first. They want to see him once or twice before the trade deadline so they can decide what to do (trade for a SP or live and die with Ian). At least that is my theory.

Damn.....guess I won't be invited to the live chats anytime soon then.....

It makes sense what you are saying about wanting to get two looks (both for us and potential other teams) prior to the trade deadline.....

And by Corbin regressing I mean he will post Ian Kennedy's first half numbers. I hope it wasn't a fluke, but it seems every year one of our pitchers has a fluke year.

Regress, most definitely......1st half IPK level of sucktitude???

 

[DweeberAZ]

So is it now a pitching dual between a non-bearded one and a bearded one of the reddish persuasion?

 

[Davis_Mike]

Ian Kennedy always looks so douchey.

 

[Desert Glory]

The word regress has been used in this thread too much for my liking. Im gonna pretend all of you are being extreme homers and saying Corbin will throw 10 straight perfect games instead.

That second half post was a total buzzkill! I live in a land of lollipops and rainbows where Corbin will ride a beautiful unicorn will carry P.C. To 25 wins and a wizard will grant godly the power to hit .320 with 50 and 150! Plus, don't forget all the pixie dust that will be spread on every players bat in which they will hit .300 and have a home run each game. Our starts will drink a magical potion that will cause them to throw a no-no each and every start. This prediction are way more accurate than that doom and gloom prognostication!

This is why Gary is the smartest man here.

Desert glory,

Don't even put that curse on me, bro! I am so sorry and recant every mean thing I have said about you! You are the funniest person on these boards and a kind human being! We are all in your debt for gracing us with your brief words of wisdom. I accepted your friend request and words cannot state what an honor it truly is to be acknowledged by the great desert glory! I will never take it for granted!

 

[Davis_Mike]

My guess as to Corbin's numbers at the end of the season: 16-4 2.79 ERA 180 IP 175 SO 1.27 WHIP.

 

[Jonas_steven]

My previous post was riddled with poor spelling and sentence fragments. It says that I can only edit it within 5 minutes of the original post! That is the sort of thing that made me switch from ESPN! You don't want to lose a customer, eh mr. Sportshoopla?

 

[Davis_Mike]

This one is better.

That is fairly close to my prediction. I figured he would be 17-3 or 17-4 with a 2.7 ERA. Great minds think alike!

 

[AZ Sun]

13-10 3.96 ERA 1.31 WHIP

That would be the case if you weren't on these boards! My intellectual capacities pale in comparison to your higher mental functioning! I am not worthy!

Wow! You are on a roll today! I am sure I have some antidepressants around here somewhere...

I had to check the boards like 10 times to see if there was someone else named desert glory here. Maybe you misspelled a real posters name?

Im seriously this close to putting you in timeout Southside....
