7/21/18 - Pirates at Reds

[Ironman92]

In 2003, Maroth lost 21 games for the Tigers—the first pitcher to lose 20 or more games in a season since Brian Kingman lost 20 for the Oakland Athletics in 1980. However, he led the Tigers in wins (9) and win-loss percentage (.300) while the team set the American League record of 119 games lost (43–119).

Anthony Young went back to back years of 2-14 and 1-16

15-48 for his career but baseball reference WAR is career 1.3

That’s right! I forgot about that Tigers team. I knew they had a 20 game loser but I thought it was Jeremy Bonderman

Pirates have been a hot team with good starting pitching of late, Reds fans should not react too strongly to these two games.

Now, they were horrendous games, bad play, injuries, weather, but only two games.

[Burt Gummer]

He turns 28 in September and he's a career .245/.299/.331, and is actually getting WORSE. His 2016 was acceptable, but there's no real indication he can get back to that. So because he can't hit he therefore should not be an every day player in Major League Baseball.

Unfortunately there are no better options for cf right now.
