Even though I preferred the two pitchers, stories like this make me relieved the Cubs picked Bryant.

got dang, what a gut punch

Not cool, but I guess this reinforces the Theo/Jed "draft a position player at the top of the draft" strategy.

I always laugh out loud at those MLB Network spots describing Williams as one of their team of great "baseball minds".

 

He's a [expletive] neanderthal.

mitch williams used to manage a bowling alley/bar next to the place where i grew up swimming. i can confirm that he is as much of a mouth breather in real life as he is on television.

There was a fantastic segment on discussing Chris Tillman, who was shutting down the giants through 8, and how wins are what pitchers are ultimately judged on. they went to live coverage of the game and the orioles closer blew the save. They never came back to discuss how Tillman blew the win.

The Mets handled him properly, just flukish and how unnatural pitching is.

That sucks, seems like a good dude. His video interviewing unsuspecting Mets fans was hilarious.

Kenny: "So you're saying [Jay Bruce] is the best player on the Reds this year?" Reynolds: "No, I'm saying he's the MVP."

He had four or five outings over 115 pitches. You can argue the correlation, but I'm not sure that's how I would have handled him.

meh... he's a mature-bodied college pitcher, 24 years old, he threw 135 innings in 2011 followed by 169 last year and 178 this year. pushing him 5 or 10 pitches beyond what you're totally comfortable with isn't going to blow his arm out. seems to me the mets have handled him pretty responsibly; sometimes things just go (see stephen strasburg).

 

clayton kershaw has been cranking out over 200 innings and throwing 110 pitches in basically half his starts since age 22, and he's the best pitcher in baseball. roger clemens' arm should have fallen off by 27 based on how hard the red sox rode him after he came up. obviously pitch counts matter, but there's a lot more which goes into the equation.

Honestly, it's probably just how good your genetics are.
