Matt’s convinced me mcgreevy sucks lol
Hmmm. Watching the game tonight, I thought the conversation should start and stop with, he is really good.
Yes. A lot better than Mikolas. How about those 9 K's in 6 innings.
He must read CT and decided to prove some nitwits wrong.
I should deserve a few thank yous for tonight then
I thought it was funny people trying to convince everyone but but mcgreevy sucks trust me then he throws 6 shut out
I didn't think it would go this long. I was just bored at work on a Wednesday or whenever.
For the record, I like the kid. I have my doubts that he's the ace that he's been this year, but I trust McGreevy more than most of our starters. I realize you can't quantity "pitchability"...and we've definitely been burned there before...but Mike might be the smartest pitcher on the starting staff. He knows who he is, what he does, what he doesn't.
Does it make him an ace? I doubt it. Does it make him a good MLB starting pitcher? It just might.

In the "swing for the fences/exit velocity/launch angle" era with ABS monitoring the umpires perhaps a pitch to contact pitcher with excellent control is more valuable than the hard throwers.
Bloom might want to rethink his strategy of hard throwers with high walks.
What about hard throwers with low walks.
Which pitchers did he acquire who fit that description?
