High&Inside 1,304 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 This quick resolution that occurred in this player thread is why this community is still valuable despite the format change. Within an hour the community narrowed down where Reyes was going and who would be starting Sunday. Link to post Share on other sites
tucker26 2,360 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Weaver has been legit but perhaps not as legit as it appears. He has a decent amount of unearned runs allowed. That said, he's been quoted as saying he is allergic to walks. Link to post Share on other sites
crotchcrickets 3,230 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 reyes strikes out the first major league batter he faces on 101 mph heat (a knee buckling curve was strike 2) Link to post Share on other sites
Z06vette 1,519 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Yep.....Dude was impressive. I saw 101 twice. Looks like he's throwing 88.... Link to post Share on other sites
k.k. 347 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Any hope Reyes is going to get a start next week? Could very well hinge on how Weaver does on Sat I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites

Could very well hinge on how Weaver does on Sat I suppose. I am wondering this myself .... I wasted my #2 waiver pick in a 16 team rotisserie league. I was hoping he would join the rotation Link to post Share on other sites
JenksDodger 957 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Did anyone catch the outing today? Pretty solid line against the cubs.. 3IP, 1H, 0ER, 1BB, 3K Curious to see how the fastball control/command looked and what the velocity was like. Link to post Share on other sites
BackwardsKRay 197 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 He looked utterly unhittable, and command was excellent save for the lone walk. Basically threw only fastballs and changeups the whole game with a couple hammers mixed in. Check out the Javier Baez K for a good laugh (100.4 MPH fastball)... it will be a classic gif by the end of the week. Link to post Share on other sites

Can anyone find a link for this? edit: found it at the 7:30 mark of the condensed game. Lol Link to post Share on other sites
Z06vette 1,519 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 What I've seen, which is not a whole lot to be honest, this guy will be a star...A surprise to nobody around here. Some can throw 100, but the key is does it have movement, and does the pitcher have a clue where it's going. I'll admit, I'm a little puzzled Reyes had so many walks in the minors. Regardless, Reyes will be starting this season. Soon. Oh yeah, doesn't Reyes throw a knuckle curve? I'm pretty sure I saw him gripping the ball with his knuckle. That pitch drops right off the table. Regardless, nasty! Link to post Share on other sites

pierceNKC 493 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 i mean...look what he did in one week. 6.0ip, 1w, 8k's, 0.00era, .67 whip. granted it's one week, but that's sp1/2 numbers. Link to post Share on other sites
tucker26 2,360 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 How many innings do you think he end up with rest of regular season? Link to post Share on other sites
bestbuyofficemax 15 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 anyone think he'll start any games this season, or stay in the pen if he continues to perform in that role and if Weaver does well? Link to post Share on other sites
crotchcrickets 3,230 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I am of the opinion that he's better suited for the pen for this year, in terms of actual need for the cardinals. you _may_ see a spot start later in the year if Lynn comes back since lynn will most likely go to the bullpen, but honestly i wouldn't bank on reyes making any starts this year. as a side note, should the cards make the one game playoff, reyes would be a sneaky start for them in that particular game.

swingbatter 203 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Alex Reyes - R - Cardinals Alex Reyes will make his first major league start on Saturday in place of Mike Leake who is dealing with shingles. The 21-year-old right-hander has been impressive in his time out of the Cardinals bullpen, posting a 13/4 K/BB ratio over 9 1/3 scoreless innings. He's worthy of a look in all formats for as long as he's in the rotation. What do we think he can do tomorrow? Link to post Share on other sites

RyanksN 168 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 any word on if he stays in the rotation? Link to post Share on other sites
ChicksDigTheOPS 2,496 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 it's wild to see a guy like Mike Fiers put everything he's got into a 93mph fastball, then Reyes comes along and effortlessly fires a sizzling 99 while looking like a kid gliding a paper airplane off the porch. secondary stuff looked good from what I saw, too. It's not quite the same "holy smokes" stuff that we saw with young Jose Fernandez, but I'm not sure it's too far off. Link to post Share on other sites
Dark Kn19ht 450 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Is he going to replace Leake? Or is Weaver still the fill in? Link to post Share on other sites

GJDHouse 1,031 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Best outing of his major league career. 6 innings 2 ER and 7 k's. Kid has nasty stuff. He is going to be a good one. Link to post Share on other sites
NyMetsfan5 1,849 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Whichever scouts ranked this guy below Giolito is on some good stuff man. This kid is the next Pedro. What a beast Link to post Share on other sites
