Completely agree on Lynch. His stuff was really good last night outside of three pitches. And the way he worked all over the zone... there is something there with him. And I feel a hell of a lot better about him, even after this loss, than I did at any point last year.
it was the best pitching from the 18 class…..I don’t love the 2 whip for the game as he gave up quite a few hits. But the strikeouts were encouraging and he looked the best of the group. I’m not panicking, I’m not panicking, I’m not panicking…..
I’d actually feel better if they were 1-4 or something but the pitching looked better. Maybe I feel this way because of the last season’s results. But if you need 10 pitchers for 1 “pitching prospect” or whatever number it is to throw out there….why don’t you trade any of them for a established pitcher? I know its not maybe in your “window” but it seems to me that’s the easiest way. I’m sure these guys are still trade able so its a bit of a mute point.
Great work as usual! And if you're seeing what you want to see then so am I.
I'm in the the Lou' to see the kids (and grandkid as of last Wednesday - I'm a grandpa!) this week and was at the game last night. I was was uber-excited to see Greinke/Wainwright today but, well... I can tell you this - the ball was traveling well last night and pitchers were paying big for mistakes.
Both my friend (Cards fan) and I kept thinking and talking about how It was just an odd outing for Lynch - at times he flat dominated an almost all-righty lineup, but then the taters...
Question - any news on Bowlan's recovery? I think Anne wrote that he was scheduled to throw off the mound around Mid-March or so which would give him about a month's worth of work. I love the big guy and can't wait to see him in the bigs.
