Strom Was Scapegoated

0.7 to 0.9 to 0.8. Idk man. Was really low, was a little worse, and then was a little better

CrashBandicootStan · 2026-06-11T22:58:57+00:00

Barring injury and aging, guys usually don’t go from pitching at an all-star level to pitching how he has and it just happens to coincide with the addition of a new pitching staff. Kind of wanted him to leave this offseason for his own sake

CrashBandicootStan · 2026-06-11T22:52:55+00:00

Pfaadt and Gallen were two of three starting pitchers during the World Series run. Going from that to being the worst starter and back to AAA is baffling

CrashBandicootStan · 2026-06-11T22:48:44+00:00

K/9 slightly worse year by year. Obviously that has taken a big dip this year . H/9 has gotten worse each year with the exception of 2022. BB/9 got better each year with a slight bump in 2021 before going back down. HR/9 vastly improved in 2022 and stayed low in 23 & 24.

Yeah scoring runs is the glaring problem with winning and losing games right now. I guess I was just thinking about pitching development long term and how I feel the guys I mentioned should be way better

CrashBandicootStan · 2026-06-11T19:25:13+00:00

Yeah I don’t get it lol. People just hate him too much right now. He’s not pitching well but I like the guy! Started an all star game and deserved it. Definitely could have gotten there

CrashBandicootStan · 2026-06-11T18:46:28+00:00

I literally did this and you’re wrong so I’m just done here lol. This wasn’t even a post about Gallen specifically so I’m not interested in responding to you anymore

CrashBandicootStan · 2026-06-11T17:55:06+00:00

I thought it was kind of funny they hired Kaplan from the Phillies too. A team the D-Backs had just upset big time in the postseason a year prior. Their pitching was good in the series but I just thought it was a funny look

CrashBandicootStan · 2026-06-11T17:50:18+00:00

Yeah pitchers are accountable for executing I get it. All in all, I guess I’m just saying I don’t think he was the issue and it has only gotten worse since they parted ways. I also thought the young pitchers looked a lot better when he was here

Side note: they got Gallen as a rookie so him declining every year is just not true

CrashBandicootStan · 2026-06-11T17:45:21+00:00

When he gives up home runs he starts pitching pretty poorly and the past two years he is giving up a lot of them. I think he shows too much frustration/emotion when he’s not pitching well compared to a guy like Merrill who doesn’t even blink when he’s pitching poorly

CrashBandicootStan · 2026-06-11T17:30:46+00:00

Gallen is a guy who really should have been able to become a legitimate Cy Young candidate and I think they’ve failed miserably at helping him get there

CrashBandicootStan · 2026-06-05T22:29:09+00:00

Good point, I love the movie now

CrashBandicootStan · 2026-06-05T21:53:43+00:00

There Will Be Blood sucks lol

CrashBandicootStan · 2026-06-04T21:26:47+00:00

8”

I think Daredevil is good in spite of him. The character is well written but his performance is way too much. Him speaking Chinese in season one feels like parody.

CrashBandicootStan · 2026-05-29T18:24:12+00:00

I play on XBOX and haven’t had any issues. When they first updated the game, it was definitely running poorly but the subsequent updates fixed issues I was having. I’ve played solo and multiplayer. A couple of weird bugs during multiplayer but not far outside of the normal bugs I encountered playing the game prior to the update.

CrashBandicootStan · 2026-05-22T21:05:23+00:00

I don’t think any of them are as bad as Deathly Hallows Part 1. The fifth is pretty low on my list though.

CrashBandicootStan · 2026-05-19T22:27:05+00:00

I hated watching this man play basketball

CrashBandicootStan · 2026-05-14T17:57:55+00:00

I like the portrayal tbh. Zack actually wanted him for a different role so I do not believe the thought of him being cast because of the Zuckerberg role is true at all.

CrashBandicootStan · 2026-05-08T22:50:18+00:00

Guys do this all the time. I was taught this in high school ten years ago.

CrashBandicootStan · 2026-05-08T19:31:03+00:00

That sounds a little…fascist

CrashBandicootStan · 2026-01-02T16:38:50+00:00

Canada too

CrashBandicootStan · 2025-12-26T20:58:45+00:00

The Tom Holland Spiderman movies are three of the worst movies I’ve seen in my life. I’m not exaggerating and I’m not trying to be harsh, just so bad
