Gio Gonzalez Eat Crow Thread

[TooLiveBrew]

Can we something other than crow? Haven't we eaten enough this year? What about wildling?

Awesome August 31 pickup by Stearns. I think all of his moves this season (beginning with Cain & Yelich) have been brilliant when taken as a whole. If Gonzalez can right the ship, then you have acquired an ace without giving much up. I think it is a move you make 10 times out of 10. Heck, If Jonathan Schoop has another game winning hit or two in him this season, I'll call that move a good one as well. Maybe the grand slam will get him going and give us another bat down the stretch.

Just in case no one's noticed...

16 G, 41 AB, 4 HR, 15 RBI, .293/.348/.610/.958 batting line

I hope GG can continue to get outs, but I'm not super enthusiastic about him in the rotation. His stuff against the giants was ok at best. His change was his only plus pitch, and he also had plus location for the most part. Everything else was meh. I'm very concerned how he'll look against more experienced and more patient lineups. I hope I'm wrong, for me he's the 4th starter in a playoff rotation right now. Chacin, Miley, Anderson, GG. There's also a very real chance that Davies takes that spot from him depending how he looks.

Going into the season everyone would have said a playoff rotation of Miley, Chacin, Gio would be unstoppable.

Well Gio was coming off a terrific 2017 with the Nats, and Chacin was very effective in 2017 for the Padres. Not sure how Miley's 2017 indicate he'd be effective this year, though.

They are all doing a good job getting outs any way they can. It also does not hurt when the cost is not the going rate.
