Would you rather be 3 runs down

Of course not.  I was being sarcastic.   

[ashbury]

It's not the control or the command, per se.  It's the number of uncompetitive pitches, that tilt the odds to the batter over the course of a game.

[ashbury]

Helluva play by Jorge!

Just leave Archer in Milwaukee. 

They're only paying him $3M though. Great value for that $$$.....

[PopRiveter]

Nice way to get the team out of trouble. Way to go Polo!

His stats taken in a vacuum, perhaps.  In terms of pitching staff construction, a false economy.

Really, you think he’s worth it. Every time he pitches the bullpen takes over in the 4th or 5th inning, not much of a value at all, not for a starter

It was. Especially since he had to come from shallow RF.

[stringer bell]

Garlick just got there.

I didn't see a replay to learn about his jump on that one.  Did he get going on a straight line, or have to make up for it with the last burst of what little speed he has?

[stringer bell]

Three innings, three walks. Playing with fire.

Looked to me like a rather poor jump. It’s hard to pick up balls that don’t go high in the air. 

[ashbury]

No.

Not really looking for a reason to criticize.  More the opposite, was hoping for a reason to praise.

[stringer bell]

I don’t have sprint speed stats, but I don’t think Garlick is particularly slow. He’s not agile and doesn’t have great instincts, but I think his straight ahead speed is okay. 

[stringer bell]

They’re opening the roof!!!

[stringer bell]

Kinda cool!

The scouting report I have most conveniently at hand puts him at slightly below average in foot speed.  Decent routes.  He's not Gary Sanchez slow, but I like someone fleet in LF.  Garlick makes the most of his tools out there.

Not really looking for a reason to criticize.       With Garlick , ? Funny

[sampleSizeOfOne]

It's okay so long as you only kick your own head, right?

Youtube!

[Battle ur tail off]

Another walk. He throws way too many balls. This is probably his inning to get shelled. Hang on tight.

ahhh. makes sense now. Much obliged. 

[PopRiveter]

Man alive, is he ever off his game today.

[Battle ur tail off]

He is done just like Bundy is done. Maybe each can help in the bullpen, but their days as starters are nearing an end.
