He's an end game pitcher and one of my favorites, he won't leave my rotation this year
Wow. ok, Thats good to know. I know in real life he [censored] near single handedly won the world series for the Giants. Well that's not fair to say because it is a team effort but the guy is insane. What makes you say he's end game? Ohhhh I did forget to say I hit a home run with him my second at bat.
I love his pitch repertoire all his pitches are easy to locate once you get his windup down, and his cutter and slider can be devastating. Plus like you said he can hit and I love pitchers who can hit. Brandon McKay never left my rotation last year when his future stars card was released.

I got him last night in a headliners pack. His hits per 9 don't look crazy but he does have great pitch control and break. Has anyone used him yet and if so what's your thoughts on him? I used him in one game against the computer but I was tired from a long day at work. I gave up 1 hit but it was a bomb.
My thoughts. He got rocked for me in one start so far had to get em outta the game by 2nd inning. Part of the problem was my opponent had entire lineup of righties

His wind up and repertoire take some getting used to, but you will eventually be able to paint with that cutter, he’s not an online Meta pitcher so you have to really mix well with him.

Exactly, don't rely on his fastball, once you figure out how to dot his other pitches and you'll quickly realize why we love this card so much.

He is what that milestone Cliff Lee could be if they gave him higher pitching clutch than 72

I thought his delivery was easy to master but he throws so slow.

Hes not meta but his change in speeds can be deadly, as you parallel him up his velo goes up, im at parallel one and hes throwing high heat at 95 and his cutter is topping out at about 92-93, like I said you have to mix well with him, when you do he’s very good

I wish we could get a Lincecum and Matt Cain to go with him

Yes I would like to see that as well, and the Oakland big 3 Hudson Mulder Zito

Agreed, I grew up watching them and Eric Chavez play for the Canadians so that would be fun. O and I forgot about Brian Wilson we need a Brian Wilson card.

Just took him online for his first RS game, 6 innings, 6 hits, 1 earned, 12 K’s and got the W…God I love this card
-
I got his AS card to P3, and loved the offense, so I'll pay for this card. Last I checked it was only 64K

He would never sniff my rotation

Apparently he would never sniff this guys rotation ^

I haven't pitched with him yet myself but I keep hearing good things about him. I might have to give him a shot. I tend to be late to the game when it comes to who's hot. Well, Im just late to the game period this year, picked up in July. I haven't had the chance to really try players out. One thing I have definitely learned is to not copy and paste who everyone thinks is best and then expect great results. I hardly see anyone use Votto on first and to me he has been my best player. We all have different techniques and likes on how someone plays. Castellanos is another I don't see often but again I rake with him. However, I am horrible with Harper and people love him. So I try and try and try..to try everyone out (man that's a lot of tries) and find out who I play well with. Pitchers is something I am just now really getting to try out since I am just now rocking the pin point.

Bumgarner will never be the “hot” pick because he’s not online Meta, but I have success with him and he’s one of my favourite pitchers IRL. If he threw a 100 mph sinker and 200 mph fastball he would be the “hot pick”, but since he doesn’t and people cant mindlessly spam 2 pitches with him he is “trash”.
