Default Robbie Ray

This dude is killing it, and further revealing the Dodgers' weakness against LHP. A Greinke/Ray combo may be the scariest 1-2 punch in baseball come October.

I must have pulled 37 Robbie Ray autos from 2012 Platinum, and sold them for a buck each.

A very smart and wise observation.

Got him in a throw in deal in fantasy this offseason. Think it was Dansby Swanson for Glasnow and Ray

Dude always had potential with his wicked K/9 and now is finding control and getting the BB/9 down

I prospected him at one time and sold off the stash for a nice hefty profit. I can't remember when his boom was, but it was well before he got called up.

Very true, awful trade by the Tigers. Today you have the DBacks led by Robbie Ray's 14 K, and the JD Martinez 4 homer night. LOL.

The Tigers did, however, kill the Yankees and DBacks in the 3 way trade they made back in 2009.

Most impressive is since getting drilled in the skull on a comebacker(3 starts):
3-0 19IP 9H 2ER 33K 4BB
that's pretty awesome

Now on the season 138IP 97H 184K. If he continues to keep the walks down he looks like a beast.

In a perfect world for the DBacks, Greinke pitches and wins the WC game, so you have Ray lined up to throw 2 games vs the Dodgers. That would scare me a little if I'm a Dodgers fan.

Hell the way the Dodgers are playing Washington may come back and take home field advantage...

Brian Grey was ahead of the curve on him. What's his best card if you don't count leaf? Sterling?

Is this the difference between Dombrowski and Avila in a nutshell?

Very few 14' update or chrome update parallels have surfaced so far

I just bought about 13 chrome rookies and 7 or 8 normal paper base for about a buck a piece.

Agreed, you can't find them anywhere. Even base is hard to find
