Im trying to find one guy that responded by ripping verlanders' sudden Ace resurgence when he looked cooked in Detroit, Mortons' velocity increase, Gerritt Coles' morphing into Pedro martinez after a mid 4's NL ERA
cole had some hard luck years in pitt. 2015 he finished 4th in the CY. he has stuff. change of scenery maybe did him good. he was very highly touted coming up.

mortons 2017/18 are very suspicious

10.4 k's/9

19-7

33 starts

3.23 ERA

prior to 2017 he was a 4.45 ERA guy, 6.3 k's/9

Agreed on Cole, I expected an improvement

Just think the Pirates gave up Morton and Cole, and got absolutely zilch in return from the Astros

Fuck Gerrit Cole.

Will always despise him for making the Yankees waste a #1 pick.


Pirates demand Gleyber and Andujar or Torres for Cole

They take the equivalent of Tyler Wade and Luis Cessa from the Astros


Reminds me of when the Dbacks demanded Soriano and Posada for Schilling, and took Casey Fossum from the Red Sox

At least in that case, jerry Colangelo wanted to peel the skin off of George

This is one scenario where taking PED's is ok, he was taking PED's like how they are legally taken. He wasn't going Bonds or David Ortiz

why is taking a diuretic to mask drugs an ok scenario?

Full disclosure: This is what they gave my kid when he was 3-4 years old, Lasix (furosemide). It makes you pee, a lot. He needed it because he had had heart surgeries, and he needed to clean off all that extra fluid.

I can't imagine in what way it's a performance enhancer, other than to make you run faster to the toilet


Ya mostly they give it to people in Afib/ congestive heart failure to keep off the fluids because the heart cant do it anymore.

Because he was already got his money, it's cheating when you are using it to get that next contract. He was doing it for we not me.

We traded Morton to the philles(for nothing) and he blew out his hammy and missed almost the whole year(2016).Then, he signed a 2 year 14 million dollar contract with the Astros. Even a super small market team could have had him.

I actually like Moran, but ya Cole turning into Nolan Ryan down there makes the trade look like shit.

They both need era adjustments though.
