GDT(3/3): Minnesota Twins @ Toronto Blue Jays - Hughes vs. Stroman - 12:37 PM ET

[Trouba95]

This offense is sputtering. Gotta do anything to turn that around.

[G-Snarls]

What's his FIP this year?

 

Under 3

 

Oh, wait, you were being rhetorical I thinks

[Chappy]

He is terrible, you imbecile.

 

I hope you are joking.

[Governator]

Man Stroman has such a bright future, so good to see. I already have more confidence in him than Dickey.

[Candy Maldonado]

You must be very old to like i feel bad for ya

 

What does this even mean?

Nothing gets by you Super Moderator.

Hence why I used the word "unsustainable"....

[GD]

You obviously have no clue what his splits are,right?

 

It's too small a sample to mean anything, over his career he's nearly identical (.002 split). Francisco should've started, Gibby shouldn't be relying on SSS.

Over 13 WHOLE starts? Now there's a sample size to base an argument on....

[Convo]

lol not even basic stats agree with you

 

Steamer even has him projected at 4.25 FIP rest of season, and that's considering the good start.

[intentional wok]

Question for the pitch framing experts.

 

Is there data on borderline pitches for outside vs inside pitches? Is one called more frequently than the other? For example, is it "easier" for a catcher to frame and receive favourable calls on his glove side if he's set up straight down the middle and the batter is a lefty?

[Anemic0ffense]

Rasmus is needed

[bowld]

Think its time to send Tolleson, Gose and Francisco back to AAA. They got hot for a while but have all been crap as of late

[BJs]

Ump…wtf

[Trouba95]

f*** this ump too.

[burlingtonbandit]

This Ump is awful

[Trouba95]

This is so boring. Why am I watching this garbage>?

[gruber92]

If Hughes is going to given that high strike,it will be tough to get to him.

[Chappy]

Hence why I used the word "unsustainable"....

 

Yup, looks unsustainable so far today as well.

[GD]

Steamer even has him projected at 4.25 FIP rest of season, and that's considering the good start.

 

ZiPS 3.84 lol

 

His mean U projection is around a 3.6 FIP and about 3 wins

 

TERRIBLE

[burlingtonbandit]

If Hughes is going to given that high strike,it will be tough to get to him.

 

Especially when it wasnt called a strike earlier in the AB

I believe I read statistically that lefties get screwed on outside pitches much more than righties

[Iluvbjs]

This thread needs to be renamed the fair weather fans GDT.

 

Seem to be proud of quoting another user using the word RETARD? And of course, he's even more proud and thanking you for it! Try and be more compassionate to those who have loved ones who are mentally handicapped?

[BJs]

I'm going to pull my hair out..

[G-Snarls]

f***!!!

[Trouba95]

Lol @ this team. If we take this into Baltimore...eek.

[G-Snarls]

Fans in Portland would appreciate this team. That option is looking more and more appealing.

wat?

[ElNik2013]

Let's face it, that bottom of the lineup is pretty weak. It should be a platoon bottom 3, but today Tolleson is in there to boost the defense. I guess Gibbons is reacting to Francisco's defensive mistake yesterday, but I don't see how 1 play should cancel out this platoon when Tolleson is so bad against RHP.
