Maybe but career wise that’s not how it has been so far. Matz gives up the big inning more often than not.
I don’t see how Matz is better than Quintana. The only upside yes Matz is younger but career so far it is not even close Quintana has been better.
The starting pitching needs help a lot of help other than Mikolas and he is not an ace this rotation can’t compare to Mets, Braves, Dodgers, Padres…even the Brewers. This pitching staff is not good.
Is this a win this year team? I don’t know. But if you look at other contending teams I don’t see the one sure thing shutdown pitcher for the Cardinals and it sure won’t be Montas. Mets, Dodgers, Braves, San Diego and even the Brewers have the “dude”. Some of them have even two. Can you win the world series without an “ace”? maybe. I don’t know what the solution is for this year but until the pitching gets as close as possible elite we don’t have much of chance.
This forum has a lot of very set on their ways posters that post blanket statements like it is the gospel. I come in once in a while but can’t find a connection. Statements like players like Gorman are a dime a dozen make no sense. How do you know what he is going to be as a player at this point? I don’t know. But you do right now. Weird.
I think Ohtani prefers the west coast and would probably test free agency in 24 hoping to land with a west coast team. I still doubt the Angels trade him.
His career numbers. .291 ba for you that only looks at ba. I know you don’t like “new metrics” but they are not replacing batting average, they are enhancing it. A xtra base hitter at .245 will be more valuable that .350 singles hitter. He did hit .313 last year. But I know two games make him a bad investment.
Two games??? He is 23 have you seen his numbers? We need pitching but it would be hard to pass on Soto.
I know I am in the minority. I have no problems with shifts. But it will be interesting to see how they outlaw them and how they penalize transgressions.
