3/5 ST: Cubs (Prior) v Mariners (Batista), 2:05CT, XM178

[C.C.]

i love how everyone is acting crazy about a friggin' spring training game.

 

It's called PASSION!

 

no, it's called overreacting

 

It's called not winning in almost 100 years. So yea, you might get some people overreacting.

I seriously think Prior is done..He had one great year like alot of pitchers..Then just broke down,I don't think hell ever be a capable Number 1 or 2 starter again.

 

Actually, besides last year, he pitched very well when he wasn't injured, definitely a #3 starter-level or better.

You might be right.

 

Why do people insist on pretending the 48 starts in 2004 and 2005 didn't happen? If he "just broke down" after his one great year, then how did he manage to put together an ERA+ of 116 and 113 in those years?

I don't think anyones pretending, but when you're topping out at 83-85 MPH for a fastball pitcher, you are going to have concerns.

[E.J.]

Pie with another hard hit ball. RBI single to tie the game. He's having a good game.

[Balsa]

No it's called overreacting/total lack of baseball perspective. It's spring training, and means little. Particularly, for a pitcher injured for the majority of 2 years. As long as has normal soreness, and isn't hurt, today was a good day.

 

If he's throwing 85 at the end of ST, then worry.

[98navigator]

Pie as 3 hits

Wood was bringin' it.

I like your optimism, keep up the positive thinking.

 

Myself, I'll give him more than 30 pitches before making a snap judgment.

 

He threw 40
