Do we have the debate about pulling out a rookie throwing a FUCKING NO HITTER after 7 1/3 because he hit some random arbitrary number here or in the stupidity thread.

Gonzo Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 The Twins are off to their usual rip-roaring start. One of these years, all this young talent they have is going to give us a pretty good team. But I have a funny feeling that 2016 is not that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Jays pulling a starting pitcher for no real reason because that's just what we do in baseball now and losing is going to be a thing, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Lucia Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I don't see why people are getting up in arms about Roberts pulling Stripling. -Yes he had a no-hitter, but he had four walks and four strikeouts, and only threw strikes on 58 of 100 pitches. Not as if he was mowing Giants hitters down left and right. -It was the first start of his major league career - he's not an "experienced vet" like Kershaw or Price or Greinke or whomever. -He's never thrown 100 innings in a season, so there's no history of durability there either. -He's two years removed from Tommy John surgery. -100 pitches was also a career-high at *any* level since being drafted. Last year, he only topped 90 once. -If you don't trust your bullpen to get five outs and protect a two-run lead, your bullpen is dogshit and you're not going to win a damn thing anyway. Oh right - it's the internet. Logic doesn't apply. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuetsar Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 There's also the famous Babe Ruth/Ernie Shore no hitter, where the Babe was ejected after walking one batter and Shore retired 27 straight. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there have been more than a couple - Astros in NY a few years back, Millwood and company for the Mariners, Hamels and the Phillies against the shitass Braves on Labor Day two years ago.

No they are playing the Mets in NY Of course - the Nats postponed their game because it was "cold". Maybe that's why they don't want to go to the WS. Don't have to play in the mid-40s then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He followed it up by making a nice grab at third, saving a run and a sure double, but then being too fat to get up and throw the guy out at first. This has not been the best start to the Jays season, so it's really the little things you have to find and enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all the different incarnations, Washington won only one World Series and that was back when Walter Johnson was pitching. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh right - it's the internet. Logic doesn't apply. I'm with you, I don't see the need to get heated at Roberts. Protecting a kid's arm after the TJ is far more important than the no-no. 73 innings pitched over the last two years. I was reading today that Stripling was on a 100 pitch limit set by the front office. Roberts was acting on his boss' orders. Stripling was apparently unaware of any hard count he was on. As to your last point about the pen, I've been watching the Dodger pen falter and blow leads and wash away good outings from the rotation now for the last four years. That will once again be the downfall of this club if they don't start putting together some good work on a consistent basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years back, when I still had two knees, I played slow pitch softball (which is also how I destroyed my knee). One night, every one of our pitchers was sick or hurt. So they come looking for me. "Tabe, can you give it a go?" Never pitched in softball before. I say sure, I'll try it. No clue what I'm doing. Very first pitch, the guy hits a rocket straight at my head. Caught it somehow. Could easily have been really, really ugly. Everything after was gravy Yeah, we won and I had four hits 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
