...OK, I'll bite....how does this make us better?

Well we traded a LH head case for a RHer that actually was a head case. Apparently he has recovered from the trauma and is supposedly regaining his previous form. Maybe his knowledge of the A's comes in handy, lol!
 
McCarthy only has upside. Nuno isn't going to get any better this year.
 
Isn't McCarthy like 5-20 over his last two seasons with an ERA near 5? Yeah, he's going to be a MAJOR upgrade.

Not sure you can look at stats Alone in McCarthy's case. The guy was hurt pretty bad. He's got guts, and guts we need.

...tote, was that supposed to make me feel better? :lol::lol::lol:
 
...OK, I game...put me in my happy place.

McCarthy, 30, has a 5.01 ERA with 7.6 K/9 – a career best if it holds – and 1.6 BB/9 through 18 starts this season. While the 5+ ERA isn’t particularly attractive, advanced metrics such as McCarthy’s 2.89 xFIP indicate that he has been much better than that would indicate
.

Better?
 
...no, not really...anyone can pick stats...how about that awesome 75 ERA + ?...or the WHIP that is nearly 1.40...or a WAR of -.5 ... or the .298 BAA...or the 5.01 ERA?

He was getting his sea legs back. Don't worry.
 
...hey man, don't get me wrong, I hope the guy gets his mojo back, especially now that he wears the correct uniform...but I just don't see it as really improving the team.

...it seems like a case of subtraction by subtraction.

It was worth it just not to hear Rick, et. al. bitch about another Nuno start.
 
...fun facts about bears; A bear can run faster uphill than downhill.
 
Fun fact about horses, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make em fuck the fish.
 
Well I use to go to bed with my stirups on but I kept tearing up the sheets.

Spurs....stirrups are attached to the saddle (western), otherwise known as irons.


Ah...I see what you did there.
 
I think this made us worse.... This deal makes ZERO sense...
 
here's a fact about this trade

no one should really give a fuck that middling prospect at best vidal nuno is gone so it really doesn't matter who the player we got in return is

any bitching is useless bitching
