GDT(3/3): Tampa Bay Rays @ Toronto Blue Jays - Hendricks vs. Archer - 7:07 PM ET

[Convo]

So he gave up a few fly balls in a row. xFIP takes that into account.

 

Nope. You have to trust DIPS the most in small samples.

 

In less than 1 and 1/3 games does xFIP tell you his fastball is straight as an arrow? Does xFIP tell you he's leaving his fastball up? Does xFIP tell you this guy has bad command?

[jays76]

Hopefully Hendriks can hang tough here, he really should have pitched around Myers a little more instead of serving up that meatball.

[Trouba95]

f*** sakes.

[havok24]

Oh come on.

[closetjaysfan]

Does xFIP take into account that the second time through the lineup the Rays are going to have no problem smashing those beach-balls that he is lobbing in?

[Solaxys]

lol this guy...

[bowld]

he done.

[NorthOf49]

Dd you watch the last two innings? He was not pitching well idc what xFIP saya

Watching the game pollutes your perspective on what's actually happening.

 

The first inning was just as impressive (more, even) as the second was bad.

[Candy Maldonado]

omg relax people

[jays76]

Hendriks is losing the plot, he's gotta get himself into it mentally here.

[Orgfiller]

He needs to relax a bit, seems like he's rushing his pitches. Not everyone can be Mark Buehrle.

[BarkatToronto]

IF Gibby wants to win this game, I'd take Hendricks out now

[Solaxys]

ya Hendriks. good pitcher. ANOTHER FASTBALL THAT WENT BOOM.

[Trouba95]

IS Hendricks going to induce ANY ground balls?

[havok24]

They're crushing everything.

[Atothe]

He's asking for trouble, get the ball down

[closetjaysfan]

warning track but an out I guess

[Bunchedundies]

LOL at people thinking xfip tells you everything, hendricks has been terrible so far, lucky he has not given up a couple more HR's.

[havok24]

Navarro almost botched that strike call.

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLl !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Convo]

Longoria HR here?

[Anemic0ffense]

Yeah... he's getting hit hard.

[Solaxys]

Sigh they are hitting everything, even the fouls, incredibly hard.

[Angrioter]

warning track out over and over again.

Australian guy is s*** but he will contribute with 2 of the 9 games of the actual winning streak.

[gruber92]

Whew !!

[Orgfiller]

Real hard slide there.

[bowld]

ground out!

[Solaxys]

Wow that was a ground ball? That happens with this guy?

 

AND WOW HE WAS OFF THE BASE. WOW.

[JohnnyLonghorn]

Was Lawries foot on the bag?
