Moan4Yoan Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 McCann robbed Hahn of $2.5 million dollars. He is lucky to be in the majors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fathom and CWS would be first on the list. CWS and I have had massive arguments about Gio/Lopez and who has the higher ceiling. I'm a bit concerned about Gio not getting swings and misses on either his curve or slider so we have to wait and see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were trashing Giolito last year so at some point between October and February you decided to get a wild hair up your ass for no reason. Besides some nonsense like "it can't be worse for Lucas" absolutely nothing has changed to lead you to believe he'll be much better. You're truly the ultimate contrarian.

bmags Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 I have been a much bigger fan of his approach since inning 2. Way too many 2 seamers the first few batters. Change looks very good, may be most helped by the short armed approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides some nonsense like "it can't be worse for Lucas" absolutely nothing has changed to lead you to believe he'll be much better. You're truly the ultimate contrarian. Not true. Did I say that he was bad last year? Yeah. There is no way to objectively argue otherwise. I still thought he had a chance to be good. Did I trash his performance last year? Yeah. He deserved every bit of criticism. I always thought, always that he still had a chance to be good. I told people to be patient with the two of them. I have been among Giolito's and Moncada's most ardent supporters consistently. The occasional negative statement does not constitute that I've still supported both of them. Take that stick you have up your ass out. You couldn't objectively defend their performance last year. It doesn't change the fact that I still believed in both of them, just because I didn't defend them. 1. Giolito gradually got his fastball back and his mechanics have changed twice since his struggles last year. There was reason for optimism. 2. Moncada has too much talent to suck forever.

Boopa1219 Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Regarding McCann, there were definitely better backup/platoon catchers available. KC got one of the better ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
