Ya if that's the real number there's no reason for him to turn it down otherwise. (We don't know that he's turned it down)

How did the Mariners get shutout by the Athletics?

Look, the A's have some dudes that can hit, we established that last year. But their Non-Mason Miller pitching staff is pretty dire.

The Mariners got six innings of shutout Jeffrey Springs, who threw NINE K'S to one walk.

Jeffrey. Springs. Shutout six innings.

:stare:

Springs is a very good pitcher. His issue has been injuries

There is no evidence to suggest that offense is up

Runs are up 0.04 per game!!!

What is interesting is hits down, STRIKEOUTS down, walks and dongs and steals up.

Obviously none of this means anything yet

it's weird because this is one of the few times i don't hate how the jays batting lineup is structured. just need tony taters to figure out how to hit a fastball

They aren't really scoring much more than last year, but they're on base more. The biggest difference is the pen isn't absolute garbage so far.

So it's more 9/165 which makes way more sense.

Darude - Adam Sandstorm
Aug 16, 2012

So if we assume he gets ~45 million as a super two through arb, it leaves 5/120 or 6/160 if he stays healthy and hits the player option for those ufa years

Which is a steal but not egregious.

Darude - Adam Sandstorm
Aug 16, 2012

Ya for sure, and I like I said, its a steal but the raw numbers aren't egregious and mlb is littered with guys that could have got paid and then didn't or had to play for 4 teams to recoup their losses.

8/60 has his 6 pre arb+arb years where he's likely to make under 40 million.

The raw numbers aren't that far off. As Bawfuls keeps saying the real issue is more the opportunity cost.

He's not dogshit but he's also not the best pitcher in baseball. You're a major league lineup. 6IP 13K 0BB isn't acceptable. They have K'd 30 times in the last 2 games. It's bad.

The Yankees can have some bad games and Zac Gallen can also be a very good pitcher. He'd be the best or second best pitcher on every team except the Dodgers.

I mean, he's got a career WHIP of 1.133, which would be #7 overall among active pitchers if he qualified. A career ERA+ of 129, which would also be #7 overall among active pitchers if he qualified. He came into the league the same year as Logan Webb, has less innings pitched but leads him by bWAR, 19.9 to 17.7, and that 19.9 bWAR puts him at #22 out of all active pitchers despite only being 29.

I'd say that's a pretty good fuckin' pitcher. Certainly good enough to have a random insane outlier game where everything went right for him.

He's also got a bunch of 10+k and 0bb games in his career. He even had a 13k 0bb game against the Dodgers in 22.

I pretty seriously injured my throwing hand ring finger catching fly balls in practice in high school and I was even an outfielder. I couldn’t explain exactly how I hosed it up so badly, just got my hand in there too quickly. I could totally see a pitcher doing it.

I guy on my softball team a couple years ago did that on a grounder and it exploded hit the tip of his ring finger and exploded the knuckle. He had to have two surgeries and pins sticking out for like 2 months on what looked like a routine grounder.
