Its kinda like what you wrote on post #92 bill:

"No one's overreacting, we're just calling you out on this absurdness."

[VOLNBAMA]

I said " I think he will be a bust." To that point in his career he hadn't shown me otherwise.

Hochevar update:

5.10 ERA, 6-7, 55 K, 95.1 IP, 102 H, 59 R, 54 ER, 9 HR, 40 BB

Hoch got lit up today.

We get it . . . but the statement is still no less out there.

[VOLNBAMA]

That i think he's overrated?

[GAVol]

We've been through this. No point in rehashing.

[VOLNBAMA]

agreed! i'm just updating after every game.

Who said he was going to come in and light the world on fire? Rookie pitchers don't about 95% of the time. He is still going to be a really good #2 or an average #1 in the future.

[VOLNBAMA]

this will be my last post in this thread because there's no need to get everyone after me again but the reason why he's overrated imo is because he got dominated in the minors.

Dominated isn't the word I'd call what happened to him in the minors.

Until the walks go down, and they will, he will continue to get hammered.

What the stats don't tell you, but do imply, is how many guys he pitches to from behind. Guys throwing a lot of 2-1 and 3-1 fastballs are going to get smoked.
