Batting practice. -
Maybe that is the definition of mediocre compadre LOL! To me he got a D in Boston.
-
lol
-
Well you are kind of sugar coating it with those splits and timings but the FACT is he was a mediocre-to-bad pitcher in Boston who won somehow a CY. All-in-All his grade in Boston was a D. People expected a B.
-
i.e. prospect vs prospect vs prospect vs old-horse
-
You are taking it out of context. García-Houck comparison is apples with apples (and still) Houck-Hill comparasion apples with oranges, Moon. You brought that comparison to the table. Not me.
-
Nahhh Im not saying a 17 IP sample size by Houck in 2020 over-rides a totally lackluster minor league career and ho-hum 2021 start. This has nothing to do with the discussion Moon. Houck to me is an encouraging project from what he showed in his short MLB appearance. Nothing more, nothing less. He is a promising depth arm who can pan out well. Nothing more, nothing less. Hill was in a totally different situation when he arrived to Boston. They bet he was going to be healthy and productive. That role/performance wasn't accomplished.
-
reason why, Ben wasn't good at pitching. It was a disaster all in all. Porcello had 5 years with 4, 4.3, 4.6, 4.75 and 4.9 ERAs before coming to Boston. What are u talking about? Those are mediocre-bad numbers in my book. If you thought he was going to post that 3.43 ERA moving forward after that "good" 2014 year where his BABIP btw was way down from what he posted in his prior years, you would be fooled —seems happened to u.
-
oks, he was picked up to give us 4 good starts. Cmon man. He was/is a injury-prone pitcher man. He was/is an old dog. Houck on the other hand, is an encouraging project who has already showed very interesting things in the majors. you are comparing apples with oranges moon.
-
I already have had this discussion regarding Porcello (plenty) trust me lol. I won't go again, but all-in-all, he was nothing but a mediocre pitcher (4.5 ERA) for us, which I called he was going to be in Boston. That CY year was nothing but a fluke. it is what it is.
-
I don't think so lol
-
? Are we going to put in the same sentence Houck and Hill? Really? ok LOL! As I said, Ben sucked at pitching. numbers are there. Hill didn't pan out. Porcello was horrible 4/5 years in Boston. Most people do not even remember Miley was here LOL! and the list goes on goes on.
-
It's all for Taillon. Got nothing today. It is going to be a long season for him in the 2021 ALE.
-
Defense ain't helping either. leadoff again for TB.
-
Do not be surprised if he is durable for TB this year lol
-
I was reading Hill made the Allstar team of May for the AL. I can see why.
-
3-0 Boat is sinking!
-
2-0
-
Some good minor league pitchers do not pan out in big league and the opposite. The FACT is Houk has showed more encouraging things playing with the big boys. Garcia hasn't.
-
No, his short MLB pedigree is not good, by any means. His xFIP and SIERA are 4.6 which suggest his ERA is the real thing, not to mention his BABIP is 290. Imagine if it were 300 LOL Houk is a better bet in my book.
-
Aside that CY year from Porcello, he was trash. He was a 4.4 ERA pitcher even with that CY year. Number 4-5 numbers in my book. Miley? the same. 4.4 ERA Hill as you said, didn't give us much. Kell, Buch, etc were horrible. Yeah, pitching wasn't his forte. Thanks for that WS but he had to go. Glad to see we have Bloom now.
-
1-0 TB and runner on 2nd and nobody out btw
-
if they lose badly those 2 series could be the beginning of a titanic debacle which they can't recover —mentally in special.
-
I was glad we got rid of Cherington at the time. Pitching was always an issue all-in-all I think Bloom will fix that and will splash in the coming years. Starting now.
-
plus, you just ate 15 runs from the Detroit f***ing Tigers. It's not like your pitching has been good lately.
