He will probably get yanked before he can get the L.

damn, it was fun while it lasted tho!

the great thing with having built up this giant lead in the central is they can give medlen all of july and august to slowly work back into being a badass starter.

I would not trade Duffy to get a rent a player like Cueto.

That said, calling him "not that good" isn't accurate. Unless you are just saying he isn't good enough to give up someone like Duff

Cueto WHIP is 0.95, league hitting .199 vs him.

this season. career he's a 3.81 fip pitcher, all in the national league. he's good, but not "ace" good. he doesn't have the career length, but medlen, for example, posted better numbers during the short time that he was healthy.

Medlen showed some good flashes. Will be a productive part of this team in 2nd half.

Really wish he would have finished off his outing in better fashion. Oh well

sys · « **Reply #40469 on:** July 20, 2015, 10:19:59 PM »

cueto's career numbers are actually really similar to shields' career numbers. main difference is cueto has been hurt some while shields has been super durable.

Scoring 6 or more and losing is the weirdest thing oat

this season. career he's a 3.81 fip pitcher, all in the national league. he's good, but not "ace" good. he doesn't have the career length, but medlen, for example, posted better numbers during the short time that he was healthy.

2014-- 2.25 ERA. Started 34 games. 22 of those he had an "in-game ERA" of 2.25 or lower. 7 other starts were deemed " quality starts" by MLB standards. Only gave up 4+ ERs in 4 starts

So he has been pretty damn solid ACE material last 1.5 years

2011, 2.31 ERA in 24 starts.
2012, he was 19-9 2.78 in 33 starts
2013, he was hurt a lot, but 2.82 ERA in 11 starts, 1.05 WHIP, .209 Average allowed

Shields was always healthy, but ERA is about 3.40 last 3.5 years, 3.73 for his career

He used to play for us. Running buddy of George Brett. He acquired the blow fish look post-Royals. We don't let blow fish types play for us.

Exactly 14 months ago the last time It happened. We lost 7-6 back to back nights vs ChiSox on 5-19, 5-20

Not worried (or even upset) about this loss but there has to be concern about Yordano. He gets knocked around every time out. Even the game vs TB a couple weeks ago when he was sharp thru 4 innings he almost gave it all away in the 5th.
