How the Worst Pitcher in Baseball Became a Superstar

Спорт

In 2019 Corbin Burnes had one of the worst pitching seasons in MLB history, but just two years later he was on top of the baseball world winning the coveted Cy-Young Award. An incredible turnaround in such a short amount of time, and you might think he had to completely reinvent himself in order to unlock his full potential. But in reality, all it took was one small change.

    Burnes only pitched 49 innings that year, and he still produced a 3.37 xFIP, so when looking at xFIP he wasn't bad, and his performance was in a shorter sample.

    You put this guy back on the Brewers and they got to be one of the World Series favorites with the offense they finally now have! Brewers seem to have great starting pitching or great offense but not both at the same time. Our bullpen has been good for a while though. Even with our closer out they have performed good this year. While starting pitching hasn’t been bad, I still feel like they are an arm short especially with all the injuries to starters this year. If only Woodruff could make it back from his injury that would have been great too! Miss Corbin! We are still good though which I didn’t think I’d be able to say this year!!!🎉❤🎉

    Part 2: An infield and bench utility full of shortstops up the middle and absolute thumpers on the corners, an outfield of center fielders, a lineup that is so loaded you can pick almost any 4 hitters in a row and make a case for Murderer’s Row comparisons, finished off with the pitching staff I mentioned initially and I don’t think you could lose a 7 game series no matter how hot someone comes into that series. Too many dominant pitchers to shut down good hitting, too many power hitters with a pass the baton mentality to go 9 innings without a few runs no matter who is slumping and who is pitching. At least a couple guys are gonna run into one, nobody can be that perfect for 27 outs. We need you above all else, I don’t want the Orioles to sign another ace starter, you’re the best, we need you. You fit so well too, and you can build this rotation with the front office because nobody in baseball knows how you need to pitch in today’s game more than you. You’re playing now, you’re dominant now, you don’t ever allow big runs to score, your worst days are 4 runs over 6, you know when you need the big pitch and you always get it done. You have the leadership mindset and presence, you are young, but have already achieved an established veteran level of experience and knowledge, you are EXACTLY what this team needs my man. Will they still win games if you follow the money elsewhere? Yes. Will they win as many? No. Will they win as many championships? Hang as many banners? No. Will it be a mind blowing difference? Unlikely, but I know deep down the reason why the difference won’t be mind blowing is only because we cannot fathom what the difference actually would have been. I believe you will hoist more commissioner’s trophies than Brady and Bellichick, truly. That’s because I know the dominance will be equivalent to the 90s bulls. You’ll get there virtually every time and you will win absolutely every time you get there. Teams will start beating themselves the moment they see us win the pennant. I’m talking about legendary. All throughout sports. Achievements that will be recognized on a global scale for decades to come. I’m talking about an impact that will change the landscape of the game forever. Where players will match your adaptations to the best of their abilities in pursuit of what you have achieved. The game becoming a more level playing field with homegrown talent staying home. Players pursuing baseball accolades as teammates over jewelry, cars and women. Smaller market teams growing into larger market teams because of continued success and rejuvenated cities and their thirst for baseball. All time highs in attendance, merchandise sales and overall revenue for organizations leading to larger payroll capabilities. Eventually balancing out the system. The players make concessions initially as the pioneers, first ones through the door, and down the road the teams will see the revenue required to pay them what their dedication and talent have earned them. Don’t take my word for it, do your homework. Look at the team, farm system and all, look closely from your perspective with your elite pitcher brain. See what you discover in these young, raw talents. Consider the logic that having such a large group of elite hitters and baseball minds playing in meaningful games constantly and being attacked by teams with everything they’ve got because you’re the measuring stick of the league. For some teams in certain years, beating you in a 3 game series in July will be their World Series win of the season. Now consider how much more they will learn since they all came up together so no one will be viewed as the know it all, no one will be afraid to say something, ask something, and they will be able to learn and grow together without pressure because so many guys can carry the load while others have a brief slump or work through an adjustment period. They become exponentially more dangerous when they are just trying to make good contact and pass the baton because someone else will have a better chance of getting it done that way, combined with their natural, raw power and they will accidentally run into homers. Like the struggling Cowser hitting a one handed homer off a generational pitcher after spoiling his top change up of the 21st century caliber pitch. When they’re all done putting it all together, making all the adjustments, and become complete hitters like Victor Martinez in his prime, they will be unstoppable. Between that and a strong bullpen, you know you will stretch more high quality years out of your career which will be filled with meaningful games. The way you are built, I see you going Scherzer distance into your career. I see 3,000Ks and hundreds and hundreds of wins. I see you passing big Jim and winning four Cy Young awards. I see the first Orioles Perfect Game. I see your number on the brick wall next to Brooks and Cal. I see a statue of you expressing that classic Burnes emotion coming off the mind after a big late-inning K and I see you reading a speech in your gold jacket with your Orioles hat on starting with, “no one wakes up in the morning and says I hope I get traded when they’re on a team they went to the playoffs with just recently, but that’s only because I never could have known what was in store for me when I was traded to Baltimore, but I’m sure glad they did, as you all probably know.” I see some of your teammates in the front row waiting to give their speech after you as you get to celebrate the final win together, the real victory of being a baseball player. Do your homework, then see how these boys play in October and how they handle it. Combine that experience with your homework and consider the logic in the possibilities I have detailed here today. Then decide if you’re the man for that job, for that leadership role, for that commitment to excellence to reach the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. When you make the decision I truly believe you will make, take a step forward towards achieving that goal because a journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step. From that step forward don’t turn back and take your position as the leader of this team when it comes to winning when play time is over. They have the clubhouse vibe and camaraderie to stay loose and have fun throughout winning 100+ every season, but they need that authoritative presence that’s going to lead them on the big stages in the big moments, and that’s the role you’re deciding to fulfill. I think we both know this is what you were born to do, because I’ve never come across someone of your pedigree. How you struggled initially, and came out of it an instant veteran with perennial success, the consistency and the caliber of play throughout that consistency, the mentality shifts from the man on the mound to the man coming off the mound after a display of that caliber of play, to the man in the dugout, to the man in front of the cameras. It’s just a total package. Handling each one with natural flawlessness, effortlessly seeming. You were born for this my man, you didn’t wind up in Baltimore by chance. This is your moment, your shot to turn it into everyone’s moment, from the guys to the clubhouses all the way out to the piss poor fans like me watching you religiously and briefly escaping my reality to live vicariously through your reality. An unspoken bond between men and boys alike. A deep, personal connection that has you red hot and dejected at times and sobbing tears of joy at others(should have seen me after the walk off against Tampa last year at the end, my god man!). You’re in a position to be the driving force of those bonds, and the creation of new ones around the world. It’s your car Burnesy, we are handing you the keys and praying you will hop in and drive off into the sunset. Either way, I love you forever just for what you have already done for us Baltimore fans as we finally get a chance to come up for air down from the cellar we have been locked in for decades, even with the fleeting postseason teams in the 2010’s the air wasn’t fresh, but finally we have been given that fresh air on a spring afternoon at a baseball field with the smell of fresh cut grass blowing around from the distance and the smell of sweat up close from that primal commitment to force our dominance onto another man within the friendly confines of the diamond. So I ask you, please Corbin, take the keys and meet us on the horizon, we have been waiting for you since long before I was blessed with life on this Earth by the Creator.

    Losing Burnes sucked, but the front office was so terrible to him. I'm glad he's having success with the Orioles, he deserves it, and they deserve it. I just wish the Crew would fight harder for their stars, Burnes on this years roster would have made a really good Brewers team incredible. Still Ortiz has been great and I'm sure Hall will pick up soon too, if they could turn around Burnes and Freddy, they can turn him around also.

    That's true, the return has been nice so far. But your starters have thrown the least amount of innings this season. That's only going to make it more tough for your bullpen as they get more and more taxed as the season goes on.

With a beat up pitching roation at the moment. No Bradish (TJ Surgery) . No Means (TJ Surgery). No Kreamer. Grayson here and there. Yah scary team

    Part 1: Corbin, Burnesy, my man, my hero, listen bud, can I be honest with you? I understand who your agent is, and the compelling desire to be paid top dollar, not to be rich, but because of what it represents, and nobody has earned that more than you my man. No question. Which is exactly why you have to stay in Baltimore. No matter what. You have to understand that even if another team might be willing to show you a little more love on the salary side, the financial rewards you’ll receive in Baltimore that will give you way more than what the salary would represent. You have to understand you’re our next Jim Palmer and we’ve been waiting a long time for you. And we’ve been so eager, we are still hanging onto Jim today with a death grip. You don’t understand what this city will do for a guy like you leading our team. Not staff, team. You will be like a God here. Hell, I don’t even understand what this city will do, no one does. It’s inconceivable, unfathomable. Money? Oh there will be a lifetime of money through the game, endorsements and fans directly. And I know you value winning above all things, and I know you’ve seen the talent possibilities still lurking in the minors, but next year we will have everyone up with the club except maybe Basallo, unless he gets a short big league call up and tears the cover off the ball. Have you seen him play? He reminds me Miguel Cabrera, but lefty. He’s listed at 6’4”, maybe if he hunched over, he’s at least 6’6”. And doesn’t Kjerstad remind you of a young, more athletic and well built Jim Thome? Next we gotta get Jackson’s brother Ethan, the #1 ranked high school player in the country, 4 inches taller and 25lbs, but over 3 years younger than Jackson. Doesn’t it seem highly unlikely that they won’t be extremely successful between having each other in the dugout and their dad in the front row? Ethan, Jackson, Basallo, Kjerstad, Mayo, Norby, Cowser, Westburg, Mounty, Adley, Gunnar, O’Hearn, Santander, Mullins, Grayson, Bradish, Bautista… quite a star studded cast there, right? Reminds me of the bash brothers period in Oakland. All that young superstar talent on one team, except it certainly would appear that we have a few more superstars at that caliber from my vantage point. More importantly, we stand a chance to keep everyone together for a long time, but it’s going to take some adaptations on behalf of the players and some creativity with serious commitment from the front office, but it’s more than doable. Teamwork. That’s all it will take. Team discussions. Group settings. But above all things, a unified commitment to the common goal of what you all expect to accomplish by making these adaptations, and that’s where the commitment part comes in, because everyone needs to believe in each other that it is a unified commitment. That bond will translate into accomplishments beyond our wildest dreams in my opinion. I’m talking dominance on a 90s Bulls level, consistency and longevity on a Bellichick & Brady era level, and celebrations on a Papi putting the Bambino to sleep permanently kind of level, but year in and year out as iron continues to sharpen iron every year and these young super stars learn together, from one another, in the biggest situations on the largest scale year in and year out, this team will evolve into something beyond what we have seen up to this point in baseball. In an era where kids are playing from birth with extreme commitment, and the game continues to demand nothing but excellence to a higher and higher standard every year, we have found ourself in a scenario where all the stars have aligned. Between those committed youngsters in middle America where their baseball talent is so significant it shines through and pulls them into a world they never could have fathomed at a young age, or those behemoths coming out of baseball country in the south, and the juniors of big leaguers are at an all time high combined with entirely new levels of big league talent, and the baseball world expands across the globe making sure not a single 4/5 tool talent human being slips through the cracks, we have become benefactors of getting that once in a generation talent from all regions of the baseball world. Where our draft picks, past trades and signings have turned into us being the recipients of almost all of that small percentage of players in each area that are the rare, superstar, generational talents. In a period of time that produced as many of those caliber players as we have ever seen in such a period of time, we have had the good fortune of putting most of them in Oriole uniforms. With the right player adaptations from the massive core of studs that we have, and some small additions like maybe another elite starter to go with you, Bradish and Rodriguez so Kremer can be the best #5 in baseball as he maintains his pace. And maybe a couple big arms to compliment the best reliever in baseball, big Felix, and this is the most complete team not just in baseball, but in as many years as I’m aware of personally.
