Well, I'm sure all teams have at least one fan who irrationally thinks the #5 starter is gonna win the Cy Young if they just give him 4 more years to suck and then he'll be good and so that makes the rest of them hate him more than they should.

I mean if we were all Pirates fans and mibs liked Ross Ohlendorf, we'd all hate him.
Chris Volstad is Ross Ohlendorf

I just pulled his name out of my ass and then looked at their stats and yeah, same guy

Right, but the reality is a lot of the people here don't hate Volstad because of Volstad. They hate him because of his Baghdad Bob on this board.
I know for a fact that a lot of us LIKED him and we're rooting for him to turn it around until the campaign of lies & excuses started.

I root for him to fail so I can ehe at the excuses.
"He was tired from running the bases!"
"HE WAS BORED FROM PLAYING VIDEO GAMES FOR 10 DAYS"
--------------------
I think another thing that hurts him is he has a really stupid face.

The good news is that he really only has to give us 5 quality innings this year because I trust JJ, Nolasco, and Anibal to get us deep into games, more often than not. Keeping the deep bullpen rather fresh when Volstad and Vazquez go out to the mound. Vazquez has been an innings eater throughout his career, so maybe he can at least do that this year, as well.

Right now, I think Koehler gives you a mid to high 4 ERA while eating a ton of innings. Obviously that's not ideal, but might be better than what we're going to have. Even if it's not, he doesn't have a dumb face and he's an adequate dancer.

Also. Yay for Big Mike's first shot of the year. It's pretty amazing to seemingly struggle like he has and still OPS .823 with good D.
Also. Yay for the win.Christian Yelich

Not enough talk about us finding a way to sweep the Pirates. And have Matt Diaz go just 2/5 with no runs driven in. We are in a bizarro world.God would be expecting a first pitch breaking ball in the dirt because humans love to disappoint him.
