Hunter Greene

I mean, we just went down to the ballpark, Kirby and I and some other friends, and we're still supporting the team, still watching the team.

It is at times tough when you're seeing Trevino has pitched more games than one of your aces in Hunter Green this year.

Tough times.

Yeah, absolute kiss of death when you see Trevino trotting out to the mound.

And he has more innings pitched than one of our aces or more games pitched.

Yeah.

If you would have told me, hey, Jose Trevino is going to enter more games at pitcher than Hunter Green, and offensively, he's going to be your best hitter against the fastball, you'd tell me that at the start of the year, and you don't tell me that when you started 20 and 11, and I'm going to tell you we look like we're the White Sox winning 40 games.

I think it was a Hunter Green stat cap, actually.

Uh, that, that, that was just for your, uh, two-year degree.

Um, what, uh, h- what, what needs to go right? You've mentioned everything has to go right, right? Like, they were supposed to have this killer rotation, right? With, with Hunter Greene and Lodolo and Abbott and Burns.

And then they were supposed to have this killer lineup with Ellie and Sal Stewart and Stevenson and all these guys.

So, h- what, what needs to go right? Because it seems like everything went wrong.

Um, most of their home r- most of their runs come off home runs.

Um, they've been very home run dependent, uh, which is, at least they've hit more home runs than they did last year, but runs are more important than home runs.

Uh, Hunter Greene was never quite right.

Um, you know, starts the season on the IL, makes a couple starts, and then's gone for the next, for the foreseeable future with Tommy John, his second one.

But they, they, like, they have ...

And so was Hunter Green, obviously But just like, and again, you build like this is, we saw this with the Pirates this year too.

Like, they have five young homegrown starters and, you know, two of them get hurt, one of them underperforms.

Like, by the, that's just the shit that happens.

Like, you know? It's sort of like the, the counterpoint to the owner saying, "Where else are they gonna go?" What else are they gonna do? Right? They're not gonna do anything else.

Yeah.

I mean, it's partially 'cause Hunter Green's out, but like-

Yeah

But now I'm going back because in two and a half weeks, I've got to start throwing them out.

So I'm writing summaries and – final tweaks and so forth now to the centrals will be this week and i worked on the cincinnati reds uh this weekend that's a bad minor league system too tim i i i don't feel good about the cincinnati reds what they've got at the major league level which they've got one of the best players in ellie de la cruz and sal stewart is going to win the the rookie of the year but i Other than that, with some of the injuries you've had on the pitching staff, particularly Hunter Green, and just really nothing in the minor leagues, if you're a Cincinnati Reds fan, I don't have much hope for you.

Yeah, it's going to be fun to go to the park and watch Ellie and Stuart and Ellie and Stuart and Ellie.

Yeah, there's going to be some holes in that lineup.

Only one pitcher in the pitch tracking era has had any starts with at least 37 pitches at 100 or greater.

That's injured red starter Hunter Green, who has done it four times.

So it is safe to say Mizorowski has the hardest throwing pitcher ever? The Nolan Ryan fan club might disagree, but even Ryan isn't staking a claim to that honor.

In a June interview with The Athletic, he called Mizorioski special.

... last year, we saw Nick Lodolo, who was the Reds' best pitcher last year, uh, didn't get in a game.

I get Hunter Greene-

Yeah

... might have been better than him.
