What does mean shit then? It's like if a pitcher gets lit up like McCarthy, it means nothing...OK...so then, does Joc's raking mean anything? How do you differentiate between what does and doesn't? Or none of it does? When does it matter? Seems it matters to guys who are on the fringe and trying to stay in the Show. Because with that shitload they paid McCarthy, he sure is gonna be out there every 5 days... I kinda read the same thing every ST, that it means zero. Might as well do PT then for a month.
@Bluezoo Nothing means nothing unless it's what you wanted then it means everything and everyone's objection means nothing Clear?
i think its somewhere in between i remember several years ago scott erickson was something like 7-0 for us in the spring with sub-2.00 era... and then was so terrible once the regular season began that we cut his ass but i digress i think mccarthy will be better than haren but i do believe joc might be something special... seager and urias too
I think McCarthy and Anderson are going to be valuable pieces down the stretch. I especially like Anderson. @CapnTreee ...remember, Arrieta sucked donkey balls in that same game. Gonna throw him under the bus too?
@carolinabluedodger not really looking to throw anyone under the bus... but... there is plenty of room under there
You have to take these spring performances with a grain of salt, they matter, but you can't look too much into it. Uribe has stunk, Howell has stunk, Puig has stunk, and a lot of the younger guys are doing well, rest assured that won't be the same in the regular season.
And all of those guys are veterans, so you tend to care less about what they do unless you're expecting them to have a slow start and they don't. Joc is obviously a rook trying to win a job, so it does mean something for him..it means it's showtime.
Damn, da old niggaz on dis board be usin that @ all day herrr now, cuzz. Niggaz be advancin... (ode to that Asian nigga Based...doe)
It means that his stuff still looked good, it looked sharp. If Joc was 0-15 but still having good AB's and stinging the ball, then I'd say the same thing.
