Dude…you have talked about Bryce Harper for two days….hahahahaha….Kershaw blows and I can dislike guys just like you can…lol

Reds trade away their good pitchers. Luis Castillo was a Red.

Because they are a horseshit franchise not even worth caring about

Verlander and Scherzer have ERA’s in the 3’s. Kershaw has a career 2.48 ERA in this environment of hitting! Dislike him all you want but you’re out of your damn mind if you think he blows

WTOB is chewing nails about right now. Braves down 3-1 top 9th to Nationals.

Possibly losing 3/4 to Nats.

Not our fault is it? Braves get rid of players all the time and still are competitive.

Verlander has 50 more wins and 600 more innings pitched…the last of a dying breed…I bet we never see another pitcher even reach his win total unless they want to revert back to proper pitching…you can dislike Harper as well….works the same way..that’s sports

I don’t care about them either…pro sports mean nothing…if you care about grown men getting paid to play a game unequally…then pop your chest out if it makes you feel good…I don’t identify with pro sports….I don’t live in a pro sports town…you can’t go to a school of a pro team…but I will continue to cheer on the Braves every Chris Sale start

I never said Harper blows. Maybe he does blow something. Idk, that’s his business.

Lol sounds like a fan of a team that hasn’t been relevant for 34 years.

Pitching wins have been shown to matter very little. How many wins has deGrom missed out on due to being on a crap team?

Im glad the South got a team and they decided to be decent 30 years ago! Hope it continues for you. Could become closer to the Braves of old right before your eyes.

Innings pitched matters…some say it’s the most important stat. You can look at advanced metrics and WAR…Verlander will be at the top of that as well.

Wait a minute aren't College Players getting paid now?

Also College Sports are far from being on equal ground.

Count how many teams can win a World Series vs how many can win a College World Series.

So if I go out and pitch 3500 innings in a career but also give up 3500 runs are those innings still important?

Can’t get the numbers without the innings…if you pitched 3500 innings then you got paid a long time to pitch and somebody valued you…you won’t be pitching that long surrendering runs like that…

@MAD thinks I have a lot of favorite teams?? There are a ton of players I like watching.

This is Cobb when he sees a new player he likes and becomes a fan of their team

That has no effect…we are down to 64 now and we will soon be down to 16…all of those teams can win it in and the college season is condensed so the games matter and don’t drag on for months like the mlb…the Sec/Acc etc don’t really compete with those teams anyway unless you want to count midweek games where nobody pitches their top arms…how in the world do people watch 162 games a year when most teams are eliminated from the start…all you Braves guys are getting bent out of shape with losses that don’t matter…you will either beat the Phillies or Dodgers 4 months from now or you won’t…these 4 months are just for individual stat accumulation…

You just proved why your 13 win Sec teams belong as well man…college isn’t going to have a watered down champion…a 13 win Sec team is still won of the top 40 teams in the country…appreciate you seeing and clearing that up finally…hahaha…look for me on TV tomorrow night!

Virtually all the metrics are in Kershaw’s favor:

BA
OBP
SLG
OPS
HR %
SO %
BB %
Exit Velocity
Hard Hit %
Win Probability
Championship Win Probability
Base-Out Runs Saved
Average WAR per season

Current…you old man…hahaha…

Eric Davis was my guy as a kid. Loved him like no other.
Chipper, Miggy and Chris Sale are my next tier.
Then it’s Altuve, Arenado, Harper.
And I like Freeman and Mookie bringing up the rear.

Loved Eric Davis and Dave Parker. Original love was Dale Murphy though.

Helps to pitch less and always be hurt when you are out of your prime…meanwhile Verlander keeps going and going. Accumulation matters in baseball. Always has and always will. None of his total will equal Verlander. Should have pitched more…then he could have accumulated more while his percentages went down and his Era etc went up. That’s how it works. Cant Sandy Koufax it and then say you are better than Greg Maddux. One guy did it great for a time and was done, the other did it and never stopped doing it. Both great…yes…both Hof…certainly. But one is better than the other.
