Bump City Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 That's why I asked if he was another Gohara for you. Meaning shitty 95 heat as a lefty is pretty good to me tho. Giolito and Lopez are the kings of straight heat tho and you love both of them. Luckily Lopez got a nice slider somehow so he's getting K'sGIolito fastball moves a lot; disagree with you there. I'm not fully buying the weather excuse for Giolito yet, but he was throwing hard in spring with some serious sink so who knows. Lopez fastball is super straight, but he also should average a top 3 fastball velocity for a starter this year which helps protect against that. his change has been awesome too. He looks great and it doesn't seem to be a fluke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lopez new slider is sick if he change is as good as you say then he'll be good all season with 3 pitches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bump City Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 I know it is early in the season but everyone but Timely and TTP thought the trade to get Corbin was the worst they ever seen.... ChacinGrayJudgePaxton JunisLesterCorbin Seems a slight edge to me so far....if Lester gets going it would be a monster deal....Lester is awful. I really like Corbin, but also think Lester is done. Paxton will be hurt in a month, and Gray/Judge for shitty Lester/Corbin isn't a bad deal. If you luck out and Lester is OK, then fair. Pal, Junis is awful.

Cee Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Corbin throwing 50% sliders. Better trade him before his arm falls off I think the slider is the most stressful pitch on the arm too from what I remember. Seems scary for a guy who did 200 inn only once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bump City Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 I always liked Reynaldo more than Giolito when they were with NatsNeeds to cut down on the walks this year. Once he does that, it'll be even easier to buy in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viejo Dinosaur Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 I like Corbin as well but still think he is 4th best arm in the deal.How you like him now? The week not over but this outing was some good karma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lopez new slider is sick if he change is as good as you say then he'll be good all season with 3 pitchesHis curveball and changeup were two ++ pitches in spring. Curve was all it was hyped to be prior to mechanical changes Nats made. He hasn't gotten it over or thrown it for a strike so far; guys like Stone have been blaming the weather, but given that he has changed his mechanics back and doesn't have a ton of reps, I think he might have lost that release point for the time being. We'll see if the velocity comes back when it's not 30 degrees out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems scary for a guy who did 200 inn only onceI absolutely agree with you...that’s why guys like Gibson, Seaver, Clemens, and Ryan hardly ever missed a start...
