I am somewhat surprised at how quickly people can turn on a player or forget what they are capable of. By reading this thread you would think McClung is absolutely useless and that he didn't pitch extremely well for the Brewers late down the stretch last year. Did he pitch well yesterday? No. Does that mean he's terrible? NO. He looked uncomfortable and we all know that Seth can get a bit amped up and emotional at times. It was opening day in less than ideal conditions. Not excusing the way he pitched or the fact that we walked in a run on 4 pitches. Just saying that I don't think yesterday is indicitive of what he is capable of or how he will pitch this season. By no means is he Greg Maddux control wise, but I think he could be more than serviceable as a starter if need be. Unless something really drastic happens I expect Suppan to be in the rotation til at least the break, but I wouldn't hesitate to replace him with McClung at that point is Soup is ineffective. Once Seth gets a feel for his curve ball or slider (whatever you want to call it) he can be very effective. He was absolutely dominant against the Cubs last sept iirc. His command is better than what he showed yesterday and he has 2 above average pitches. Let's not go overboard on writing him off because he didn't pitch well yesterday. Really nobody did. I don't think everyone suddenly forgot how to pitch. Same goes for Soup. Just one of those days...
