Chris Volstad Optioned to AAA NOLA

[Madman81]

Can't tell if trolling or just very stupid

[HUGG]

Maybe we're signing Scott Kazmir!!!!!!!!!!!!12

[Bobbob1313]

Considering the average ERA in the NL is 3.8 this year, a "quality start" isn't really anymore. So barely more than half of his last 7 starts, which is a totally arbitrary an meaningless dividing line, isn't impressive at all.

He stinks.

[MiamiHomer]

That's because of the two starts against Philly. He's also had 4 quality starts including 7 scoreless innings against the A's in that 8 game span.

And, MiamiHomer, why would you think Jack didn't have a say in this? We sent Volstad down and did not call up a player for tonight. We're playing with a 24 man roster tonight. Don't you think that if it was the FO alone doing this that we would have called someone up for the game tonight?

Jack unilaterally sent him down, told nobody other than the media, and forgot he could add another player.

[Bobbob1313]

No argument can be made that says Volstad isn't stinky poop.

The only argument against this is "sink or swim, asshole."

Mibs needs a hug.

Well then shouldn't we take out his stats against the hapless Rays, Mariners and A's?
If so, that leaves us with his last 3 starts. Astros, Cubs, Mets

[Beef]

He went 1-0 and the team won 66.7% of its games during that stretch.

[Bobbob1313]

Astros, Cubs, Mets. Baseball's best offenses.

You want to break down the last 7 starts? We can do that.

6/19@TB; 7 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 4 BB, 4 K, 1.29 ERA for the day
6/25@SEA; 6.2 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 2.70 ERA for the day
6/30@OAK; 7 IP, 7 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 0 K, 0.00 ERA for the day
7/5vrsPHI; 4 IP, 9 H, 7 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 15.75 ERA for the day
7/10vrsHOU; 6 IP, 7 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, 4.50 ERA for the day
7/17@CHC; 3 IP, 6 H, 4 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 12.00 ERA for the day
7/22vrsNYM; 5 IP, 8 H, 3 ER, 3 BB, 4 K, 5.40 ERA for the day

That's a 4.65 ERA over that span (amazing how different that the last 8 taking out a Phillies start, right?). That's not exactly terrible there, you know.

[Beef]

youre sick

[MiamiHomer]

Mibs needs to find a rehab center.

[Bobbob1313]

It is almost a full run worse than league average.

So it's still pretty terrible.

[HUGG]

If we have a pitcher on our team that we have to "take out" all his starts against the main team we have to beat to ever win anything, then no thanks
