Was going to post this the other day but decided to wait after the match up with Lincecum. I love a dominate pitcher....I hope he does it all year (unless of course the Phils meet them in the playoffs).

Son and I are in a Huddle fantasy basbeall keeper league and he told me he was going to keep Jimenez and let Greinke go back into the draft pool at the start of this year. I of course told him he was an idiot for doing that...........

oh, this just in...he pitches for the Rockies..In like Denver...

I went to that park last year.....stopped at one of those pitching machines that tell you how fast you throw expecting to hit 100 mph on the radar gun because of the thinner air (if it works for batted balls why not thrown balls?). I am not going to say what I threw but it was obvious the radar gun was malfunctioning that day.

In a five man rotation each starter should get 32 starts. Let's say he gets three extra because his manager keeps shifting him forward in the rotation around off days, etc. That's 35 starts. No way he wins 30 games. He'll lose three or four games on bad luck alone.

Ever since they implemented the humidor a few seasons back, Denver has played much more like a regular park. It's not longer pitchers hell.

Well it still is - the humidor has stopped the ball fly out of the park, but the outfield grass is HUGE. That's down to the designers trying to compensate for the thin air by moving the fences back. Now hits drop in all over the place because the outfielders have far too much ground to cover.

    • Maybe a weeeee bit exaggerating. I think he will be a great player. But that doesn’t look like someone that was super committed in the weight room during college which is just a little confusing. Maybe he cut some weight to try and run a better 40. We saw Julio come into the league a little skinnier, get bigger/stronger and really start dominating. Strength and size is important as a big physical x receiver. It’s not so important for the Devonta Smith role
    • I've watched literally every single snap of T-Mac's career, there isn't a person on these boards who knows his game better than I do.  And I'm telling you, he is a great fit for what Bryce does well, period. You keep talking about these "get open quick WRs" as what Bryce needs, but I couldn't disagree more, because it blatantly disregards what Bryce does best. AND NO.... that's not me saying we don't need any "get open quick" type of WRs, I've long said we still needed one of those in addition to a true outside #1, but it's not the only type of WR that can be a successful pairing with Bryce. Bryce's biggest strength is his mental side of the game, he reads defenses and plays chess instead of checkers.  That type of QB doesn't need to rely on his WR's to quickly create acres of separation because their mental side of the game will mean they are going to put the ball on the WR when they create even minimal separation, as he's going to anticipate it and throw the ball before the WR has even made his cut on the route. AND THAT is where and why Bryce and T-Mac are a great pairing.  When you have a guy with T-Mac's hands and catch radius, he doesn't need 5 yards of separation to get open and have Bryce then get the ball to him.   Bryce is going to be throwing the ball before he even makes his cut, so even if all T-Mac is able to do is create 1 yard of separation, the ball is getting to him when he creates that and because of his hands and size, he's plucking that ball out of the air before the defender even has a chance to close that 1 yard, because the ball is there as soon as T-Mac creates the room and turns his head.
    • I read an article a few days ago that places like Seattle green bay and a few others are revoking tickets rights to holders that sell 100% of their tickets. That would do a lot of good league wide for bringing back some home field advantages. We aren't the only team who's stadiums get over run by visitors. It happens basically everywhere. That would go a long way to bringing ticket costs down
