Straight from today where Hammel personally made up the runs he gave up in the first. The Cubs pitcher got more RBIs today than the DH for the Sox, the man who's sole job is to hit balls.
I bet you fags think some asinine stat like SO or IP is the biggest factor for a pitcher.

Is the collapse of the White Sox some of the best must watch baseball or what? Holy fucking shit, almost every team that starts 20-8 is able to carry that momentum through to the end of the season. How many games below .500 do you guys think they'll wind up? I'm going to say that their record will be 72-90 at the end, given the way that every key player in that organization has failed to do their job in every facet of the game. The White Sox should just trade every player on their team, and hope they end up with something better, like in Scrabble, when you have nothing but vowels.

What do you think about this possible scenario for a Mike Trout trade?
Angels sent Trout to Team A
Team A sends a top young MLB player to Team B
Team B sends 2 of their top 5 prospects plus a throw in to the Angels
Team A sends 1 top 5 prospect and a throw in to the Angels
A middling MLB player might be used to balance it out
You would need 2 farm rich teams. Just for example, I'll pick the Red Sox and Dodgers. Sox get Trout and send Mookie Betts to the Dodgers. They both have the young talent to send back to the Angels, and both teams are getting a top talent that warrants some of their top prospects. Maybe an Andrelton Simmons or Andre Ethier gets moved in the deal too. Angels can get something like a Joc Pederson plus 2-3 top prospects and a couple extra farm pieces. What do you think?
>>68128526
>AL CENTRAL: They all suck
>>68130994
Cubs get Trout, Dodgers get Arrieta.
>>68130574
To be fair, outside of Sale who is being exposed, the rest of the Who's starting rotation ranges from bad to dogshit.

>>68135623
He's 5-5 with an ERA over 3.
>B-b-b-but W/L doesn't matter!
The fact you only get a lose if you get pulled from the game when your team is behind is pretty solid proof that Quintana is mediocre. Watch him be 5-6 by tonight.
>>68135714
I would say wins/losses don't matter by themselves, but you can kind of get an idea of what kind of pitcher someone is by looking at his win/loss and his ERA. If he has a high ERA, but is something like 5-0 or 6-1 you sort of tell he's a bad pitcher that just gets a lot of run support.
>>68135714
Yeah, I missed this dumb argument earlier but I saw it now. None of this makes him a "bad to dogshit" pitcher.
Put him on the Red Sox or Cubs, etc with the same ERA and that W-L record would be better.
