Yadi only one getting up there but hell his bat has gotten better w age and you gotta argue w him to give him day off, apparently a argument matheny never wins! Lol., other than waino and couple guys in pen who shouldn't be getting used the staff far from old. Martinez and weaver havnt even got to their primes yet. Wacha and Mikolas in theirs, bunch of good young arms in pen or at memphis, problem there is other than hicks matheny always wants to go w washed up vet over our young talent cause he a douche!!
Far as weaver goes I don't think he hurt, think he maybe has developed a bad habit w his mechanics or something cause his control been way off last few starts. The Cubs game was a lot of ground ball singles and control issues, they didn't exactly rip the cover off ball. I wasn't able to see yesterday's game so not sure. Not too worried bout him, until these last 2 starts he hadn't had much of any failure, bound to happen at some point im pretty confident they get him figured out. Havnt heard of his velo being down or anything.
It a long season and Reyes on the way some point next month or so. Once again nobody in central is running away with it. We have more than enough arm talent to have a good pen to go with what should be top 5 in nl starting rotation, just don't know how long they will continue letting holland blow games or if he will get right at some point??? Think they will be right in the race the whole way and truthfully they way more set up for next season, maybe if they fall short of postseason this year they will finally fire matheny, if so I'd almost rather they did cause I been sick of that guy for long time!! Lol
