Calm down, it was a spring training start lmao though I suppose that makes your sarcasm (I assume) even better. think Lynn is fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChicksDigTheOPS 2,496 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Lynn has pitched four full seasons, which have been super consistent He averages about 15 wins, 8.5 k/9, and his ERA and FIP are consistently between 3 and 3.5. That WHIP though... only under 1.300 in one of those four seasons... that's like Pineda/Fiers/Rodon level I have to cut one player before opening day (had an extra draft pick) and between Lynn's 88mph velocity last time out, the rib thing, and this unflattering WHIP... I'm thinking he might be the odd man out. What kind of expectations do you folks have for him this season? I know there is SP3 upside... sort Quintana-lite... but what is the most realistic scenario? Is it silly to cut bait? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VitorSH 212 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 My ratios are good so far, so I'm on the fence here lol But I can't win QS or W without some streaming this week... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Caelum 723 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 There's a fair chance he won't be pitching tomorrow. Forecast in St. Louis calls for rain to begin tonight and continue throughout Wednesday. The teams have a mutual day off Thursday though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ZChronicNebula 2,059 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Not too shabby eh, only going to get better rounding into form Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twelve20 42 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 He was spotting his FB really well first couple of times through, good job of keeping it down. Seemed like he got a little tired after the 4th inning, but that's to be expected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DConny1 125 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 He looked really, really good until his last inning and a half or so. Then he started missing his spots. Solid velocity and lots of movement on his slurvy looking pitch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmymckrack 151 Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Where was his velocity sitting at?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TTRA1N 860 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Who is starting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Resident A-hole 102 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 I need to see another start before pulling the trigger. He's a 2-starter next week, so barring an implosion tonight, he'll start for me then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

absknicks 3,007 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) He had no business coming back out for the 5th and the result was predictable. Really didn't like anything I saw out of him tonight. I probably won't hold. Edited April 12, 2017 by absknicks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Morat 91 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Any details? 3HRs look bad... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aifan27 654 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Any reason to hold here? 4 BBs and 3 HRs are no bueno, but he was facing the Nats and went up against the Cubs last time out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jdbob11 419 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 (edited) He looked decent, did a good job of pitching around harper. The first two hr's were wall scrapers and neither of his OF'ers even attempted to rob them. The one to Murhpy was just BP right down the pipe. Definitely needs to make a couple adjustments to be able to get deeper into games. Edited April 12, 2017 by jdbob11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
absknicks 3,007 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 He walked Gio Gonzalez on 4 pitches at one point. Just didn't seem to know where the ball was going a lot, shook his elbow out a lot (which the ESPN broadcast picked up on) and just generally didn't look very good, IMO.
