idk how i feel about kershaw pitching

He has had legitimately an all time great career.
But his playoff struggles dampen his legacy.
And his injuries in his 30s have been nagging.

You know what’s funny? Clayton Kershaw is in his 18th season and still has a lower WAR than Mike Mussina…who also pitched 18 seasons.

Moose leads him in innings by 816.

rosenthal made a compelling case on why the pirates should consider trading skenes

Trash owner
Terrible gm(cherington sucks)
Missed on mad picks which will prolong the rebuild ,while wasting cost controlled years of skenes
Would get a franchise changing haul
Chandler can be the next #1
Jones #2 but out til mid ‘26
Skenes isn’t extending and they won’t be competing until he’s almost a fa

Sounds crazy but

 

[VegetasHairline]

It's wild that Verlander, Scherzer, and Kershaw are all still on MLB rosters.

 

[Remote]

Active hitters with 30+ career WAR: 35.
Active pitchers with 30+ career WAR: 11.
(Based on bbref)

 

[VegetasHairline]

The standards for starting pitchers making the HOF is gonna have to change once Verlander, Kershaw, and Scherzer retire.

We're not gonna see guys winning 300 games anymore. The numbers across the board are all gonna decline as well with these pitchers pitching less and less innings as well.

What do you think? @Remote

I don't know how you could agree on his trade value. He's still a pitcher, throwing every 5 days with the potential of blowing his elbow out at any moment. Yeah, he looks like he could be the next Verlander/Scherzer and do this for another 15 years, but you're only trading for the next 4.5. I can't see how the Pirates could agree to anything

I know how I feel

yall not on nothing tho so ion even know why im tripping

Yeah we started to think about this once Pedro and Clemens and Randy ended their careers.

300 wins won’t ever happen again.
And even Sabathia might be the last 250 game winner. —- excuse me. Verlander has 262 so I guess he’s gonna be the last one.

Unless something changes in baseball where starters go longer in games, thereby potentially winning more of them, we will see guys in the HOF with like 150 wins.

Jake deGrom has just 88 career wins and he’s considered maybe the best pitcher of his era.
