It looks like a lot of posts from yesterday were deleted? I'm not seeing any of the posts from last night on here?
Is today yesterday? Was yesterday today? Am I from the future?
That's pretty much where I sat when I went to see the Giants while living out there. I hated those seats as it seemed like too much of a steep decline for me. I felt like I was leaning back the whole game. Oakland was always much more enjoyable for me.
So he comes off a TJS and opts out of $20M/year? Maybe? Maybe he thinks that he can pitch well one year and earn a longer term deal after that?
I think if he gets surgery, he's stuck here. That's probably why he's been hesitant to fix his magical healing arm.
I've said all along that he's going to have to have surgery at some point. I don't know why they didn't do this in ST.
I think there's a 50/50 chance he doesn't pitch again this year.
The bubble is ready to pop. At some point, advertisers aren't going to be shelling out increasing dollars. Tickets can't keep going up as you will price out too many fans.
I love baseball, but it's no longer America's Pastime. As the older generations die off, there will be less interest in the product unless the game can modernize.
He has an average Game Score of 49. He has 14 QS out of 23 GS. He has given up 26 HR's. The league leader is 28. We can always pick and choose a random 4-5 game sample and say he's been pretty good, but the reality is that's he's pitched like a back end of the rotation guy this year. He's not paid to be a back end of the rotation guy.
In the previous 7 starts, he still had a HR/9 of 1.70. He needs to cut that out if he wants to be successful. His FIP was also 4.63 for that stretch, so it seems like it was more out of good luck than good pitching.
