How do we have a staff full of 89 mph arms. Southard is the only pitcher I’ve seen with dominant stuff. And the guys with 89 mph fastballs aren’t accurate and miss high constantly.

Pitching beats hitting in the CWS. Our arms are all far from domint. 

One of the few good points made lately. We don't have a lot of big arms, which is puzzling.

We don’t. Most of our pitchers sit in the low 90s. Southard, LBJ, and Witt were our power pitchers this year. Even Tristan has elevated his velocity this year

Does anyone know if this year's pitching staff is worse than the 1998 team's? The one with a 6.36 ERA. @sidis

Comparing ERAs from 1998 of all years is remarkably dumb. That was the year that resulted in changing the game away from gorilla ball given how out of control it got. 

also, Texas baseball didn’t exist from 1994-2001. 

also, fuck that ump for that strike three call. Complete horseshit.

You wanna guess the type of arms we had when we were winning it all?

Velocity isn’t everything. 89-91 with command is better than 94 straight as an arrow with no idea where it’s going.

Oh I know. But those guys could throw strikes and control a game. Like I said. These guys with no stuff also have zero control. They get shelled.

How about we just compare the rest of the DP era? Why don’t you do that and get back to us. Let us know what you find lol
