Haren is the best pitcher on this staff. Good night.

 

 

​

 

I'm basing his talent level on the fact that he will never be pre-2014 Latos which is what our idiot FO thought they'd get. Maybe he figures out how not to hang his shitty slider, but that's about the best we can hope for, a number 3/4 SP.

 

​He's easily a 2/3 starter in this league. He has plus velo on his fastball and good movement on his breaking pitches. You clearly haven't watched him as much as I have. I've watched him through is high school and college careers and through his career in the minors. Has he lost maybe 1-2 miles per hour off his fastball from last year? Possibly. But that doesn't mean he a) can't get that heat back and b) isn't a good pitcher.

 

Did you ever figure that maybe, just maybe, the conditions tonight took their toll on him? The guy was pitching in a driving rainstorm in the middle of his outing. At the start of the night, he looked spectacular. Seriously, go rewatch the first two innings on the replay of the game tonight. He looked great. That's the kind of Latos you can probably expect this year because not every game is going to have tow rain delays.

 

This is a really bad occasion for you to call the guy out. A really bad time.

 

 

​

 

I guarantee it won't increase. Fastball velocity doesn't increase like that (his slider might get better). Look it up.

 

​Maybe he took a bit off of his fastball because he was trying to place pitches better than last outing and battling a pouring rain. Seriously, man, come on. I always thought you knew your stuff but you're going against that right now.

 

 

Haren is the best pitcher on this staff. Good night.

 

​Just promise me you'll be around for Latos' next outing. We will talk then.

 

 

On a positive note, the gray jerseys made an appearance.

 

 

On a negative note, Dyson is still on the fucking team.

 

Ive never seen bigger moron on the mound. Has no idea how to pitch. Just throws sinkers and then changes it up when he gets hit.

 

 

Some pitcher are struggling but most of them look fine, I think.

 

Real problem is only 1 hitter was above OPS .700 among regulars, not OPS .800 or .900.

 

 

Carter Capps is probably going to balk a lot if he continues to do this.

This is like when a kid lights a match on an anthill to see all the flaming ants run around. This thread...is filled with ants running around in circles trying to figure out how they ended up on fire.

 

 

So according to Jeff Passan, since we are now 1-6, our season is over. Historically speaking.

 

 

Bad news for Marlins and Twins: Both are 1-6, which pretty much says their seasons are over. Old column explains why: http://t.co/Iqqs8yaNZ8

 

— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) 2015년 4월 14일In six seasons since I wrote that column, 11 teams have started 1-6 or worse. Average win total: 68.5. One success: 2011 Rays made playoffs.

This team is a fucking embarrassment...again.

 

​Joke team that isn't going anywhere, about the only thing we have going for us this year is the defense, other then that, CRAP

 

 

Adeiny Hechavarria was our best offensive threat last night.

 

As we say this side of the pond, "nuff said".

 

 

This thread is hilariously bad. Wait until we go on a 4-5 game winning streak and then come back and read this one. You guys are nuts. Hey the Nationals have just one more win than us. Is their season over too?

​Hope your right

 

 

... wait until we go on a 4-5 game winning streak ...

 

I'm 47 years old. I doubt I'll live long enough to see that.

​

 

 

Why is it that following this team have to be so frustrating?

 

I'm tired of being the braves bitches

​agreed. i, for one, felt like with gattis, upton and kimbrel gone, we would have better success. enter eric young, peterson, and grilli. really?

 

 

This team can be so hard to root for. For some inexplicable reason, we suck. We go out and make the right moves, bring in pitching and some much needed offensive help and yet, we still suck. It is the curse of Loria.

​This is key here. We made "the right moves" in the sense that we brought in upgrades to the team. They haven't panned out yet, but its only a week into the season. If you gave me the opportunity to go back to this offseason and make those moves again, I'd still make them. It's way too early to call this a failure.

 

 

This thread makes me a little embarrassed to be a "fan," but yea, historically this bad a start doesn't work out.

 

I'll hold out hope for now.

 

 

 

 

Start isn't good. Don't think Red is the problem. Haven't seen any games, as I am not usually available to see one except only days off currently--if I had mlb.tv this year--which I don't, yet--but um...maybe the team is pressing?

 

 

I've seen every pitch of every game. I think the problem is the opposition tend to score more runs than we do.

​Care to elaborate on your hypothesis?
