Started a couple of the most crucial games in 2016, including the deciding game of the NLCS and game 7 of the World Series where he pitched very well. That said, he has been pretty poor this season and hasn't gone deep into games, so the bullpen gets taxed on days he pitches. I tend to agree that it's time to move on. Thanks for the memories. _________________ | ||

Alzolay sucks and needs to be moved out of the closer role. Let Neris try it. Can't be any worse then this bum. | ||

Maddux threw 200 innings 18x.. this guy blew his load and gotten progressively worse each season.. like Kris Bryant. _________________ The Original Kid Cairo wrote: Laurence Holmes is a f*cking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe.

The majority of his sinkers and cutters were in the mid 80s and during his Cy Young seasons with the Braves, his fastball was routinely thrown under 90mph. https://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/2016/ ... or-batters Guess its a "mute" point, huh Bob? _________________ ltg wrote: [Fields will] be the starting QB on an NFL roster at the start of next season.

I never understood the love for Kyle, he hasn't had that many 15 or more winning seasons, but Gordon is a pretty half full type of reporter so the fact that he thinks that gives me pause. | ||
