Isn't he a notoriously slow starter? And he didn't get a spring training so even worse

mycatscrimes posted:Sometimes I think about how the entire AL West is currently doing worse than the Detroit Tigers. And the Royals. The AL Central is weirdly competitive this season even though the Twins haven't really gotten it going yet. Cleveland's record is a little padded by playing Oakland 7 times already and everyone is cashing in on free wins from the White Sox. I'm pretty sure the Royals starting rotation doesn't actually have 5 CYA candidates so I'm waiting for them to fall back to reality but it's a nice change from recent years.

zoux posted:It'll be too late. The whole loving team has the yips, they're leading the league in hits and batting something like .090 RISP. I mean, you take out the first inning meltdown yesterday by a guy who should be starting AAA games or storming the capitol and it's close, but that's been the way of it all year. Either the other team jumps on the not-ready-for-the-bigs starter and the offense starts pressing too hard, or we get a 2 or 3 run lead only to immediately surrender it to whichever of our vaunted three-headed monster comes in. 6 blown saves, 0-6 in 1 run games. Haven't won one in extras since last season. Early last season. the division is such poo poo that it might be enough to limp into the playoffs. but the bullpen needs to get its poo poo together and they need to start actually hitting with RISP both of which feel like will never happen at this point 7-17 yet still only 5.5 back  e: Hunter Brown is looking like a complete bust at this point too, that's a big bummer

R.D. Mangles posted:I still find it hard to believe the Astros are this bad and think they will be ok when they get their 300 injured pitchers back, but it is very nice of them rught now to give the rest of baseball an opportunity to throw them into the toilet. The Astros, as they are demonstrating, are perfectly capable of throwing themselves into the toilet with anyone else helping. Intruder posted:the division is such poo poo that it might be enough to limp into the playoffs. but the bullpen needs to get its poo poo together and they need to start actually hitting with RISP both of which feel like will never happen at this point I'm still amazed that the Astros offense is so drat strong at everything that isn't scoring a run or stealing bases. We got hits for days but can't cash any of them in ever for a run.

Exodor posted:And the Royals. Yeah I'm not gonna argue Cleveland hasn't had an easy April up until this point (we're playing the Red Sox and Atlanta this week so one way or another the myth of whether Cleveland is padding their stats) but the Royals have definitely also had an easy time getting to bludgeon the White Sox to death. We'll see who craters when and how.

The good news is the Cubs play in the NL Central. They can be a total disaster for the next 6 weeks and find themselves, like, 4.5 games behind the Brewers or Reds

N: Gavin Williams is getting an anti-inflammatory injection and resting for 7 days after he felt the same elbow discomfort that kept him out of Spring Training: https://twitter.com/MandyBell02/status/1783215124913729856 V: We're probably not seeing Gavin until July at this rate. Bad news for the Guards.

lol, sorry to be the one to break this bad news to you but when you say July what you mean is July 2025. I get that TJS really really sucks to go through but come on my dude, all roads from recurring Elbow Discomfort lead to the operating table, it's just a question of when.  (e: I'm vicariously saying this to Williams, not to you)

AJ Minter is tied for the major league lead in pitcher wins along with 3 starters and equally randomly Reed Garrett, who has picked up wins in more than half his 7 appearances.

I'm by no means a baseball fan but if you had told me the reds were going to be four games above 500 at this point and seemingly scoring seven runs a game I'd be pretty pumped.
