Zach Greinke

[da55bums]

is going to beat Kershaw this year.

and going to win the CY Young this year.

Called it at the beginning of the season in our fantasy league and its looking better every start.

 

[Pattersonca65]

Grienke is a great pitcher. Kershaw was dominant the past couple of seasons. Might be due for a down season, for his standards anyway.

 

[HammerDown]

Dude is on right now. He could carry them to the pennant.

Greinke is bound for a mental midget breakdown at some point this season. Book it.

Very safe bet. I hope he plunks the wrong dude. If he does it in Phoenix he might get buried there.

If he plunks the wrong dude in ARZ, Dcrack fans will try to drown him in that sacred pool of theirs.

Dear Mr. Greinke,

You are having a great season so far. Just be careful about pitching inside. It may not go well for you.

Signed,

He has certainly always been... out there. Wouldn't be surprised to see an outright implosion on the mound if the right set of circumstances present themselves.

He has certainly always been... out there. Wouldn't be surprised to see an outright implosion on the mound if the right set of circumstances present themselves.

Here are a few of the above mentioned circumstances that could set Greinke off:

1. The sun rising
2. The sun setting
3. Water being wet
4. The sky suddenly turning blue.
5. Jeter getting a hummer by the next up and coming "model" in NYC
6. Braun getting popped with steroids again.
7. Braun denying any involvement in his own tainted piss test
8. Fielder gaining weight
9. The Cubs being mathematically eliminated from playoff contention in May
10. Puig doing something boneheaded enough to remind you how amazing Mike Trout actually is.

What is up with Greinke? I never heard of this. Is he some sort of mental case?

 

[dredinis21]

He had some sort of anxiety and depression disorders while with KC. I have forgotten the specifics but it was enough for him to have a significant leave of absence and him question whether he was going to be play baseball ever again.

You mean the guy that practically stood on home plate and was among the league leaders in HBPs for years, despite constantly missing significant time? Led the NL with 17 HBPs in 2012... despite playing in only 86 games.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Not a hothead, his behavior has been peculiar and eccentric, to say the least. If he runs into a Quentin type, then yeah, I can see how it can spiral out of control rather quickly.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

He has been taking Zoloft since then. You never really quite know what he's going to do. He has been mostly fine since going on the Zoloft, so we'll see.

YES! The same guy crazy enough to charge the mound in today's game and fuck Greinke up...by sending him to the DL for his shoulder.

If he doesn't want to get hit, then maybe he should have never crowded the plate?

 

[dredinis21]

I agree with that as well. But going up and in on any guy is NOT the acceptable way of hitting a man inside. If you have the stones to chuck one 95mph and attempt to give me a haircut, you better fucking believe I'm charging the mound immediately after. Grienke and Quentin both are culpable in their case and both need to understand the consequences of their actions towards their teams as well as their personal employability.

Are you serious?

 

[Pattersonca65]

Are you serious?

I am asking a question because some people are saying he is going to flip out. I know nothing about him other than he is a really good pitcher.

You don't remember hearing about it? He has serious anxiety issues.

Oh, there's no doubt he's really good. His behavior has been up and down though. Some attributed to social anxiety, for which he takes Zoloft now; some for just being an ass. Thing is nobody really knows Grienke but Grienke himself to be quite frank. It's because of what I'll call eccentric behavior that gets some flak aimed at him. Most of the really troubling stuff has gone away since he has been on the meds.
