One of the more overrated players in recent memory. Boosted solely off of 1 inning in 2023.

Also, frick Barbe.

Yes, Guidry has never impressed me as a pitcher. If you sit breaking ball then he’s not going to overpower you with a 92 mph fastball.

He’s a shortstop who they tried to make into a pitcher. Never really had elite control always relied on a fastball tried to have him do something he wasn’t capable of that’s baseball.

Wrong. He had 3 wall scrapers that would have been out with a more favorable wind. He was just lucky.

can he play 2nd base since his pitching career is done, and we need a decent infielder?

The guy gave what the team needed his entire career at LSU. He should get some starts in the infield.

He became a pitcher because he sucks at hitting.

Then we have a team of pitchers, save 2 or 3.

So does every other player on the roster. Can he field a ground ball and turn a double play?

Well, that seems like a half truth. I won’t argue he became exclusively a pitcher because of his bat. But he’s a pitcher. And that is primarily what Jay wanted him to do.

Damm wind was blowing hurricane force today. How more favorable do you want it to be for hitters?

He wanted to do both, but he was bad at the plate.

It was weird the praise. He had one or two good appearances and a dozen clunkers. It’s a game of percentages what did y’all think would prevail…

He really is only a closer as a pitcher. Probably ok to pitch to one or two guys that is it, beyond that he will get drilled.. Doesn't have enough pitches to pitch innings of baseball. But, we got a lot more problems than Guidry and the guy has given his all.

The team this year can't catch, hit or pitch with consistency--a recipe for disaster. We occasionally get hot at the plate and put up numbers but we are not a good baseball team.
