    Since the all-star game Lester is 0-3 with a 10.32 ERA and a *gulp* 1.205 OPS against

    i mean in the bad way not endearing way what im saying is i wanna hate him but as far as i know he's just a good player on the cardinals which tbh should be enough evidence
  5. imb
    is there any evidence of carp being a jackass or idiot or anything

    yep. hendricks has shown signs of life and as ass as Lester has been, he's still lester, maybe there's some tweak in there that gets him going. Quintana could wake up and Darvish could come back good and all of a sudden we have 4 good starters again.

    i mean that quote was probably just the result of Bryant getting his first taste of mortality and trying to give a reporter a quote to work with but shoulder surgeries are not a joke. this isn't an ankle sprain. Go look at jason heyward before he hurt his shoulder and look at him now.

    looking back it's funny how much of this we could have at least squinted and seen coming Lester is old and has tons of tread on his tires, so the possibility was always there for the wheels to come off quickly (two car metaphors.) Like he's always been such a hoss that I never would have called it, but we all had to be aware the possibility was there. Hendricks was a finesse guy throwing 85 mph in his prime, so the odds of locking him in as a 4 WAR guy forever was unlikely. Darvish is a good pitcher and I won't deny that (and if he comes back healthy I think he'll probably be our best SP down the stretch) BUT this offseason when we went through that couple weeks where he was just sitting there on the market and we thought "well you know maybe we won't get him," I really did find solace in the fact that at least you could look back and see him getting completely shelled in the WS and convince yourself you don't want that guy on your team for 5 years. Chatwood .... was just never good lol. I mean like you had to go all the way to spin rate before you could find a metric in his favor. Quintana is the real weird one, but a bunch of 200 IP seasons in a row is always a red flag.

    i just laughed so hard lmao

    Because our opening day starting rotation right now is clocking in at $27.8 mil per war. Thankfully Hendricks has righted the ship a little recently because his per dollar (team-leading 1.5 WAR for rotation-cheapest $4.17 mil) really skews the figures. Because without him we'd be paying nearly $57mil/pitching WAR. what im saying is we're fucked

    There’s no point in caring too much about these outcomes until they find one league average starting pitcher.

    yeah you're right there's nothing "really bad" about our best offensive player being out indefinitely with shoulder soreness that plagued him for a good chunk of the year. to me when you say "really bad news" that means out for the rest of this season, surgery, possibly career altering, etc. i would have bolded "really" in that instance. i think what's really bad is that shoulder injuries linger and when they occur in-season, they rarely heal until the season is up and a long rest period begins. It's likely that whatever version of Bryant comes back will not be 100 percent Bryant.

    Bryant said today he still had no idea when he would play or begin a rehab assignment. There's no "really bad" news coming on this. Theo already said last week that most of the pain has been successfully treated and is only being felt at the extreme ends of his range of motion. Worst case IMO is something like they'll say horsefeathers it and he'll play the last few weeks + the playoffs with whatever lingering issue there is. I don't see how or why they'd suddenly say he needs surgery or something and shut him down for the season. yeah you're right there's nothing "really bad" about our best offensive player being out indefinitely with shoulder soreness that plagued him for a good chunk of the year.
