Rick N. Backer Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 And there is rumors linking Pirates to TB for Price............I hate even seeing it, I know we wont get him, and it will be a disappointment. Maybe we could just land a quality relief pitcher? Or you could stand pat, and watch the Cardinals pick up John Lackey.Cards need hitting not arms. Pitching wins in October. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

troutman Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 The new plate blocking rule is a joke. See the play linked here at about 15 seconds in and try to argue otherwise. http://mlb.mlb.com/m...lb_1&mode=video You have to click on the linked video and then choose the Howard safe at home video to the right. Yeah, I hate that stupid rule. Plus, umpires take all that time to have some one in NY decide the call. He had a path too the plate and chose to go around the catcher instead of sliding. Either way, he wasn't going to score. Check this BS out between the Reds & Marlins What the hell is the catcher supposed to do? http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2014_07_31_cinmlb_miamlb_1&mode=video#/play?content_id=34973785 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CygnusGal Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Tigers end up with David Price....Tigers stock went up a *lot* yesterday. What a rotation! :o They should give Oakland a run for their money. Kinda disappointed the Blue Jays stood pat. Apparently, Bautista and Jannsen are too. I'm still not convinced AA knows what he's doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pirates staff over the last few years has been effective, but there is always the feeling that it could fall apart at the drop of a hat. I dont like that feeling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont like that feeling "Effective" doesn't win the Series. Trust me. I watched Red Sox pitching staffs for years that were "effective" right up until they ended up losing the last game of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's more dispersion in hitters' stats than there is in pitchers' stats. Edit: Actually the opposite appears to be true, although I remember reading this years ago. Therefore this works against my point. But I still believe that the Cards need hitters more than pitchers because their offense is way below average and their pitching is not.
