Raw Stuff Worst Pitcher

There are a lot of right answers but Carlos Marmol leads all Cubs RPs in fWAR, that's my guy.

Dylan Maples deserves a shot at that best stuff/worst results trophy
Kevin Goldstein

He's up there. He's no Neighborgall. Go look him up.

So LAD starts the game with two relievers before bringing in their CY candidate, who only goes 4 IP.  On what planet is that a smart move?  Too clever by half...
Kevin Goldstein

The Giants have one run in seven innings. How can you call this a failure.
Mick
11:39
Because they wanted the Giants to have ZERO runs in seven innings
Ace
11:40
looks like Jason is doing ok!  You think with today's level of pitching sophistication, anyone could have harnessed his stuff better?

Well, they used four pitchers to get the same results as one pitcher for the Giants...
Kevin Goldstein
11:40
This is not a comparison. The Dodgers have allowed one run in seven innings. The pitching has done well.

The Urias move could only be criticized. No outcome would lead to it being praised.
Kevin Goldstein

Sure feels like it.

What is the path to becoming a submarine pitcher? Like, at what point does a player say "Nothing else has worked, may as well try this!"
Kevin Goldstein
11:41
I used to suggest in Houston that before a pitcher gets released, you put him on the mound, drop him down and see how it works....
Eric Gagne
11:42
Scherzer has to be coming in next right?
Kevin Goldstein
11:42
Don't think so, but I wonder if he's in Roberts' mind for a potential 10th.

11:43
Who was the first ever submarine pitcher? Like who came up with this amazing premise?
RTJ
11:43
y'all are forgetting that the scoring is Runs Score / Pitchers Used
Kevin Goldstein
11:43
Right? I have no idea how to watch that game and say the Dodgers have screwed up their pitching.

Lots of early guys had weird deliveries
Do we even know?
11:44
Liek Carl Mays was famous for it a century ago. But he almost certainly wasn't the first
Sharps

We need secret bullpens so pitchers can suprise everwhen when they come in, WWE style

You all debate your funky deliveries while I wear my batting stance crown.

11:45
That crown belongs to Julio Franco.

My Wife's Mother's cousin's brother is at the game. He said Kershaw is getting loose... :)

It's been a terrific game

Kevin Goldstein
11:46
Man, tough as tough a spot here for the Giants. Surprised Kapler is keeping Rogers in....
11:47
Rogers seems way off. Gotta get someone hot, and FAST.
11:48
And then he whiffs Seager. Baseball is wonderful.
