Breaking News: Volstad SUCKS!!

Dab cant make any more excuses for guy. He needs to be out of rotation. Wood turn

 

[Capt. Serious]

not like Travis Wood is some world beater either.

 

[daddies3angels]

Coleman better be in game in 3rd. Tired of watching this guy pitch.

 

[daddies3angels]

Wood had productive rookie year. Then last year not much. So its time to give him shot and see what kind of pitcher he is. Volstad has sucked in MLB for 3+ years now.

Still glad we have Volstad over Zambrano.

 

[85Bears4life]

Volstad 58 pitches after 2 innings...

 

[daddies3angels]

Still glad we have Volstad over Zambrano.

I understand Z had to go but Zambrano is by far the better player easy. Z had 1 lousy season in 9 yrs with Cubs

 

[Rice Cube]

Look at all those heat-seeking ground balls. Dang.

Sorry 1 bad season in 10 yrs. Now he under 2 ERA in MIA. No matter how much of head case he is a legit SP

 

[Capt. Serious]

Reds won that trade easily.

Reds won that trade easily.

I think we all knew that when trade went down. But remember Theo is the savior

I merely pointed out a statistical anomaly with Chris Volstad, and the fact that guys at age 25 have sometimes improved. This idea that a player's ability is something static at this age is crazy. That said it is time to make a change, and see if we can sneak Volstad throw waivers.

He had 3+ bad years now. Wood just had 1 bad season since then.

I would love to go back through all the crap that was said about how Z had to go last year and how he was finished.

 

[85Bears4life]

Coleman is In...Buh Bye volstad

I actually try to give Volstad shot in Bullpen. Maybe if he only has to throw that 1 inning he can get up to 95 MPH hard sinker. I saw him at 93 today. Bullpen so bad maybe it not bad idea

He had 3+ bad years now. Wood just had 1 bad season since then.

And yet Volstad is only 5 months older than Wood...

Exactly. I was not in favor of losing Z. I really thought there a chance he could bounce back. I dont think people realized how good he was besides that 1 yr. I thought if they could have gotten more if they held on to him till deadline this year. Imagine if he doing what he doing for MIA in Cubs uniform. Cubs could have gotten couple of prospects for him and not a 25 y/o SP who had 3 bad years in MLB already.

i understand Volstad young but he still has sucked for 3+ yrs in MLB. Wood hasnt had that chance yet. Its time to see what they have in Wood.
