You might be thinking about Bump Bailey in "The Natural" not about segregated baseball though.

 

The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars & Motor Kings

[Orgfiller]

Stroman xFIP 2.99

 

I was going to post that as soon as his fangraphs page loaded.

[S33n]

Don't care about his value. They better not trade him.

 

the more he's worth the better he's performing. highest value plz.

[Dylan]

That was a nice play by Ryan, wow!

[Orgfiller]

Lol @ the thought of Jeter at SS after Ryan leaves his mark.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Damn Gibby letting Stroman continue.

[S33n]

Damn Ryan is slick.

 

Oh, thats Brenden Ryan? Im watchin w/out sound too busy listening to the Dead Kennedys. I remember how big of aprospect he was with St Louis back in '08ish, at least his glove panned out.

[Daniel Labude]

I don't want him traded either,unless it's a rape.

 

Stroman and Hutch should be untouchable this year unless its a straight rebuild scenario. Trading either would create 2 holes in the rotation and not addressing the major hole which is Happ

[Orgfiller]

Not even the great Brendan Ryan can stop SpeedyGose!

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Gose, do that 100% of the time.

shh before yankee fans hear about this

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Chop and run. Chop and run.

[NorthOf49]

Stroman seemed to get a fair amount of swinging strikes too, including a bunch of chases. He's been very good peripheral-wise all season.

 

He gets swinging strikes on both pitches, has good control of three pitches, gets ground balls... he's doing everything to quiet the "he can't start" doubters.

[Candy Maldonado]

Reyes stinks

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Huff saved their pen tonight. Kind of annoying but whatever.

[Orgfiller]

Gose, do that 100% of the time.

 

Even with his speed weak choppers aren't exactly something to strive for...

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Contact. Just put the ball in play and he'll be successful.

[closetjaysfan]

Over/under on Stro pitching to all 3 batters?

IIRC he had at least 3 pitches that he was getting whiffs on, including the changeup, slider/curve/sluver and the cutter/sharp slider, and I would argue that his fastball was also getting swings and misses.

[dineke]

Height doesn't measure heart!

 

He probably has an enlarged heart though, he should be in the bullpen.

[NorthOf49]

Height doesn't measure heart!

The lack of plane on his fastball is supposed to most affect his ability to get ground balls (and avoid home runs), isn't it? That hasn't been a problem at all.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Jesus we needed this game badly. Outstanding job by everyone tonight.

[havok24]

One more Stroman.

[closetjaysfan]

Damn... this keeps up and he can pitch the 9th

[gruber92]

Damn Gibby letting Stroman continue.

 

He's young and strong.

[Atothe]

2 pitches 2 outs, stro can do it all

[NorthOf49]

Yeah I don't know why I said 'both' lol. He can manipulate the speed and break of his breaking ball and gets whiffs no matter the amount of each. Changeup seems to be more of a show-me pitch at the moment, but that doesn't mean it's not quality (just doesn't need to use it often).

I think along with the offspeed it's really helped that he has been able to cut the fastball and also add some running 2-seam movement on it.

[G-Snarls]

Stroman 104 pitches

 

Finish the 8th then done

Don't argue since it's not arguable, he blew at least 1 by McCann for one of his K's.
