Yeah I don't understand the blind assumption that he will be bad. High 90s stuff, great K/9 ratio at every level including his stint in AAA this year. Why can't he be good? Walks too many people right now, but that can change.
He has struggled with control/command his whole career.
According to Zuckerman:-Activated LHP Tony Sipp from the 10-day IL-Claimed RHP Javy Guerra on outright waivers from the Blue Jays- Designated LHP Dan Jennings for assignment
CHAMPIONSHIP!
Guerra has an ERA and FIP under 4.Just what the hell are we supposed to do with that?
So who do they move to put Guerra on the roster? Miller to the 60 Day IL? Grace gets DFA'd? McGowin back down?
Nats activated Javy Guerra for today's game and placed Jeremy Hellickson on the 10-day IL (retroactive May 20) with a strained right shoulder.
Strained right shoulder? Strained control.
So three starting pitchers, plus Fedde and PTBNL? Have they asked about AJ Cole?Ah...just so you all don't have to look: AJ is in the Indians organization, where he has a low ERA over 5 IP of relief.
Oh .... hes hurt? How long has that been a thing?
They just said since spring training...
So, how much is your blood boiling at this point? Why do they trot out these pitchers who are hurt? Has anyone ever said, "you know, I didn't tell anyone, but my shoulder never was right last year but the hitters never caught on that I was using more offspeed stuff because I had no fastball. Even the dorks at Fangraphs wrote about my change in pitches, but they thought I was using my more effective stuff rather than covering for being hurt."
Are they trotting out injured pitchers, or are the pitchers not saying anything?
