@justin_1455@D1SCHER Yeah it’s felt different so far this deadline will confirm it for me imo if they move at least one of their young cost controlled guys then I know they are maneuvering at least a little different which could make a big difference
@justin_1455@D1SCHER I just find it hard to believe they will trade their 2 best SP but either way trading one will be an improvement. They can really rebuild this farm this deadline imo, they have some pitching in their farm get some position prospects and actually build a good foundation
@CantHitWRISP Yeah, I liked what they did in the draft but for me to be able to have any hopium that there’s gonna be change, I need one of detmers/Soriano traded along with other vets or close to FA guys (Adell) then I can start to believe there’s been a slight change
@Jared_Tims I’ve been thinking about it as well and while I’m sure I could be persuaded either way, I think they gotta keep him, if you believe he can be one of the best NHL players in the next few years which I certainly do think he can. The 18 mil will be cheap in 3 years
@jordanrulesTSP@PapiElGuapo@SNPittsburgh I’m not massively into WAR (nothing against it) I do think fWAR is better then bWAR but Skenes has a higher bWAR that year. But also in 23 starts (not a full season but close to it) Skenes had a sub 2 ERA and sub 1 WHIP rocking a 5.31 SO/W that’s absurd
@PapiElGuapo@jordanrulesTSP@SNPittsburgh I literally had to go look at the stats bc I was thinking like Skenes was slam dunk ROY and I was indeed correct lmao I don’t know how anyone could genuinely think otherwise
@geem1180474@GACPodcast17 Damn you got me there.. there was simply only 2 options for McDaniel, either say that Herbert has been ass and not focused or that he’s way ahead of where he thought he would be in his offense.. no in between at all
@CantHitWRISP I think very similarly with like Adell, you always saw the power being able to be there, just needs to make more consistent contact. I’m happy with the defense I’ve seen from him at 3rd
@CantHitWRISP Right now he’s just terrible and I’m just asking for serviceable from him.. I don’t know what’s going on, trying to be patient but yeah it’s been bad
