[The Nemesis]

Buck and Pat using W/L record to show Grienke's turnaround after leaving KC.

Grienke the Royal: 3.82 ERA, 3.59 FIP, 1.26 WHIP
Grienke the Brewer: 3.67 ERA, 2.79 FIP, 1.20 WHIP
Grienke the Dodger: 2.30 ERA, 2.97 FIP, 1.03 WHIP
Grienke the D'back: 3.40 ERA, 3.58 FIP, 1.09 WHIP
Grienke the Astro: 3.59 ERA, 3.32 FIP, 1.11 WHIP

He was a bit better as a Brewer and Dodger, but his Royals tenure wasn't that much worse than anything else.

The big difference in that W/L record is that KC was a tire fire while he was on that team and then afterwards he shuffled through a bunch of pretty good clubs. And Arizona.

Wins and Losses are stupid as a measure of player value, Buck/Pat. Figure it out already. And I know you can because I've seen you laud players for their record, and then for some other guys go "well, he's not getting the run support so that record is a little misleading" for others. So you know what the flaw is. You acknowledge that it exists. You just won't shift off your heels-dug-in insistence that Wins must be a valuable stat because like Herm Edwards once said, "you play to win the game"

Well that sucked

Kirby Yates, Buck. his name is Kirby. Unless the Jays were depending on giving a comeback attempt to a 43-year old former short-run reliever who was last seen 12 years ago as a gas can for the Pirates.

 

[The Nemesis]

Well done, Danny. Bravo.

 

[The Nemesis]

For real Randal, no one cares.

Work harder.

 

[The Nemesis]

Everything sucks. Cancel the rest of the season.

Panik is playing too much at third.

Charlie disagrees.

(I can't find the gif of him holding his hands over his ears. It doesn't pop up on google image search for "charlie montoyo animated gif" for me)

 

[The Nemesis]

Panik giveth and Panik taketh away.

But it's ok. Charlie still loves him.

 

[Bjindaho]

Panik is playing

Fixed that for you.

Panik simply isn't MLB calibre any more

Gurriel has a ridiculous arm

What a throw.

 

[The Nemesis]

Gurriel has a ridiculous arm

The funny thing is that it's not that strong. He just gets rid of it quickly and can throw crazy accurately even from a standstill/flatfooted position.

 

[trellaine201]

Thanks Houston.

That inning still is part of the improvement of Stripling the last few games. Because he got into a jam and got out of it. April/early May Stripling would've imploded and given up 4 runs.

I wasn't 100% focused on the game but he got a bit squeezed on a few pitchers it looked like.

 

[The Nemesis]

Hope you like everyday-Joe-Panik. Because he's not going anywhere.

 

[canucksfan]

LOL Panik

 

[Anthrax442]

Is this a good time to Panik?

It's a perfect time to Panik!

He fields, throws and now runs. 5 tools?

Yep. there was another one. Even Altuve thought it was strike 3.
