    Back to the real world, Locke is now starting tomorrow and the original Wednesday starter Jeanmar Gomez is being skipped over for now and moving to the bullpen.

    I've watched this guy pitch quite often and he's a fvcking joke compared to his W/L record. Dude's got a deal with the devil.

    Grilli was washed up years ago. Now he's the most dominant closer in baseball.

    What is his secret?

    He was just as dominant last year as a set up man. I don't think he was ever washed up.

    Did you watch him pitch in like '07 and '09? He couldn't get anyone out back then.

    Did he have TJ surgery?

    Locks is starting to regress though, he really wasn't that great in this game. He definitely looks like a prime fade over the second half.

    He had Tj surgery, but it was way before he was with the Tigers. I want to say it was back in 2000 or so. He had knee surgery in 2010.

    I vaguely remember him pitching back in 07-09. I remember him always having good stuff. His numbers weren't great, but it's hard to get a read on a relievers talent with his numbers alone

    Funny -- as a Tiger fan, I remember him pitching during that period of time and always wanting to punch him in the face. He was garbage.

    as a pirates fan, about to put the ghosts of sed bream and francisco cabrera to bed after 20 years, i can answer your questions that have one such obvious answer, i don't know how you consider yourselves baseball guys and/or cappers

    searage

    was that so hard?

    locke is solid and doesn't do anything special. same with grilli. pound the strike zone. locke's worst start was when he fell in love with the strikeout and was trying to be perfect. think he actually did have a no hitter going in that one, but like 6 walks or something outrageous. pitch to contact, but still hit your spots.

    16 starts without a loss, 2nd in the majors in ERA after 17 starts and you guys are still calling him garbage and looking to fade him? how many starts before you think he might be an honest to goodness MLB pitcher? win/loss is one of the worst stats in baseball.

    searage!!!!

    Seems you are contradicting yourself here. Correct that won/lost record is meaningless, yet seems you are using it to defend him? Anyhow, almost as meaningless as W/L is ERA, but what IS meaningful is his now 4.19 xFIP. Locke has the biggest negative disparity between xFIP and ERA of any pitcher in baseball, THAT is why regression is coming soon.

    you started fading Locke on 6/25. He's only pitched twice, and he's 2-0

    the one win, he didn't pitch

    but you can't count it as "fading Jeff Locke."

    could be a good fade in the 2nd half

    skipped in the rotation today and won't be available to pitch in the all star game, due to a sore back.

    says its first half accumulation fatigue.


    Guy will be getting lit up in August/Sept
