Chris Volstad: Major League Baseball Player. No, Seriously.

[Beef]

uh ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[HUGG]

My (very soon to be) brother in law is a college pitcher and his ERA is over 10, he's not good. But I still like him because he's a pretty cool guy and my brother in law.

I guess what I'm getting at here is...mibs, is Chris Volstad your brother in law?

The Cardinals' 5th starter is worse.

/perspective?

[Mainge]

I get that your 5th starter is supposed to suck, Bobbob. But are they supposed to have ERA's well over 6? It has to be in the 7's by now.

[Bobbob1313]

He is not a 7 era pitcher. Do you agree?
--------------------
He's gonna put up the mid to high 4 era and we'll win roughly half his starts and whatever. He's no worse than our other options.

Also, his ERA is 6.23

(Not trying to prove anything, just answering your question.)

Mike Stanton likes to bail out Chris Volstad

[Mainge]

He most likely isn't but he has been so far and I'm allowed to be pissed when he sucks

[HUGG]

No you're not because Jake Westbrook has a worse ERA than him.

[Bobbob1313]

That was definitely my point.

Nobody is ever as bad as their worst month. Do you guys think this is who Volstad is?
--------------------
And for what it's worth, Im not even convinced he's our worst starter right now.

[Mainge]

Do you know that this isn't who he is?

Fuck you, JJs awesome

His last 50 major league starts, his ERA is 5.15 and he averages 5.1 innings pitched.

So, I guess he is slightly less shitty.

[Bobbob1313]

Do you know that this isn't who he is?

A 6+ ERA pitcher? I'd say theres clearly more evidence that he isn't than that he is.

I would agree. I'm just mad that you're not letting me be mad that Volstad is pitching shitty.

I don't want to keep a 5+ ERA pitcher when gets to arbitration.
