I don't remember seeing a pitcher that wild and out of control. I thought he was injured, too. This is a big setback for Cease. And it only proves the team needs to have a big off season. Either that or another potential 90 losses. Expand I think once you set the precedent for tanking it takes a lotta talent to finally creep toward .500. I know tanking has worked in the past for teams. I just think the odds are much greater we lose 90 or more games next year than we are 10 over .500. We shall see.

Expand I'm OK with him continuing to get starts since the games are meaningless. It was just a suggestion we shut him down. His ERA blows. Almost 6.00. Not sure if ERA means anything anymore.

wegner Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 On days like today, I just like to remind myself...Giolito had the highest ERA in baseball last year. Not to mention that Lopez has looked so much better since the All Star Break. Cease will get there, just be patient, or at least that is what I tell myself. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
