What is it gonna take for this organization to realize Fiers is done as a pro pitcher? He's absolute garbage yet they trot him out there over and over ! I'd rather see one of those prospects Lunhow refuse to let go of !!!!!
When one side is unaccommodating... you then have to take whatever else is available. Astros would rather play in Tampa, forcing both teams to travel but without a possibility of a rainout... than give the Rangers 3 more home games. It is the best thing for competitive balance... when the Ranger refuse to accommodate.
Things looked good in the 1st with 2 on and no outs.... then of course we hit into a double play and all the momentum evaporated.
He's sucking and he's not great, but I'm still ok with him "as a pro pitcher". From May 20 until July 21, he had 12 starts. Went at least 6 IP in 8/12, and gave up more than 3 ER in only 1/12. He had a hell of a run. I don't mind him as a 5th starter...ideally he'd be a 6th man that fills in due to injuries. And I think that's kinda what he is now. Point taken that next year and beyond, Martes could take his role over.
Mike Fiers is jus He's JAG right now... I don't think he has another gear in him like Peacock happened to find this year. He also adds nothing in the bullpen except long relief... I highly doubt he's on any of the playoff rosters if there aren't any further injuries.
Doesn't his contract end this year? I just think we can bring up anyone that will do better than him at this point
