Gray and Liberatore are turning into a nice 1-2 in the rotation

You change your mind every game?
It's a stupid message board about sports. Kneejerk and ridiculous comments should be encouraged. It's what allows fans a proper place to vent so their sports frustrations don't carry over into their real life.
I'm more concerned about a guy who remembers what someone said a month ago and takes the time to go back, look it up, and reproduce it. A little creepsters there. lol
Why would you be concerned that someone would look something up to challenge a contributor? It's a stupid message board.

I think it's funny that someone having a good memory concerns you.
Why is it "creepsters"? Why would it bother you that someone has strong recall?

And he hasn't been good since.
Guess I jinxed him
He has two bad starts and you turn on him not even the best pitchers go 32 perfect starts it’s like you’ve never watched baseball before
The problem is it's beginning to resemble the same pattern he replicated during all his previous attempts to be a starter.
Almost all starters have 2 bad starts in a row at some point each seaspn.
Way too early to read into it.

When a good hitter goes '0 for... ' in a couple games in a row , fans hardly say Boo but let a starting pitcher have a couple off games and some are quick to pull him from the rotation.

Probably an IL visit. Hopefully not TJ. Not a good sign when velocity drops.
Wainwright used to talk about mid-season “dead arm”. Maybe Lib needs to skip a start
. 30 starts and 150 innings are big numbers.
Hahaha.....big numbers!
I know, I know what you mean. I get it this day and age, but man have guys become SOFT anymore?!?! Crazy, isnt it?!?
I hear that it is a result of maximum weight training, max velocity and max spin rate. Starters today are more like long RPs used to be.
Yes.
I think that expecting max spin and max velocity for 300 IP isn't possible and not a weakness
of todays pitchers. Those 300 IP years were prior to 1981.
IF we look at a physical freak and HOFer in Nolan Ryan after his 300 IP season he averaged
206 IP's a season not that lore of 300. He also paid the price with his golden arm.
Again a HOFer threshold to live up to.
200 is more reasonable expectation in the current environment IMO.
IF Libs can do what he has been doing for 33 starts he'll be at 187 IP's seems pretty solid to me.
Yes, those would indeed be the numbers of a solid innings eating big leaguer. Problem is, I don’t think he’s gonna make it to 33/187 this year. He may fall quite short of it.
