Another absolute garbage outing by Sanchez.

Another absolute garbage outing by Sanchez.

 

Only 2K..... horrible

[Caper]

He's hurting the team. I don't know how you homers can't see that. Sanchez sucks. Should be in AAA. Not up here hurting the team. I mean he just f***ing struck out the last batter in the 8th. But Carter never swung, so Sanchez sucks.

[Caper]

Hey Nox. Did anyone ever tell you you're a f***in meatball?

[Stangstag]

0 walks for Sanchez tonight???

 

Is this real life?

No sign of BTS, Nox, King.....

[tercet]

You guys are funny.

WTF? I've been posting in the GDT the whole game?

[King]

No sign of me!

BTS is probably the worst. He literally never posts when the team is playing well or a player he hates is doing well.

[Caper]

What a joke.

good tactic.... when you f*** up, get out in front of it

Lmao, King has been in the GDT all game long. You need to get your head out of your ass.

It's almost as if you guys think that we want to see Sanchez fail.

 

And fwiw, while it was a very promising start and I'm very happy, it still wasn't quite the dominating performance that you guys are making it out to be.

nice mea culpa

LOL

 

no one has called it dominating

 

it was a very good start... dominating is 12 K CG

No. No one has claimed it was a dominating start. It was a very good start, but he didn't dominate.

 

I always said, he's a fine 5th start with upside... and it can all go to hell pretty quick if he's off at all.

[JFD]

Sanchez is great just like MLB the show told me he would be.

[LTR]

The Blue Jays owe the people of this board millions of dollars. We successfully orchestrated the most elaborate reverse jinx of all time by relentlessly expressing Sanchez sucks... until he no longer sucked.

[RealAccountant]

Would you guys trade Sanchez Now for 4 months of Ceuto?/

[Daniel Labude]

Would you guys trade Sanchez Now for 4 months of Ceuto?/

 

If a trade for Ceuto happens Norris would be the one that the Reds would want and Jays would trade.

Add Chapman and we have a deal

Sanchez almost threw a complete game shut out, with just a fastball

I find it hilariously ironic how much Nox is derided here by certain people.

Some people look at things in terms of xfip and a couple of other numbers without looking at the whole picture, and that's ok.

Sanchez's walk rate has been steadily improving as the year has gone on. In his last 4 starts, he has allowed 8 walks in 28 innings.

 

He has the GB rate to get by with a 5-6 K/9, but the walks are the deal breaker for him. Too early to get excited, but at least he's trending forward.

Whatever you want to believe in your little head is fine with me. Doesn't change what I said though, not like he needs my defense. Just interesting to observe.

For sure, it's really good to see. This team needs all the capable pitching it can get and I really hope his game is rounding out.

he had such good sink and movement tonight, the hitters knew it was coming, but they just couldn't get it in the air...it was ground ball after ground ball after ground ball. Sanchez has shown some moments this year where he's had decent command of his curveball and to a lesser extent his change up. The change up is a big pitch...if he can start commanding his other pitches the strike outs will mount up, but that heavy sinker was working and they just stuck with it tonight. The kid still has a lot of developing to do, but he's been pretty good 3 of his last 4 and even in the game he wasn't as sharp he only gave up 2 runs so his confidence must be pretty good right now.

Agreed. Even if he turns into a capable #4-5 starter, I'll be happy with that. I said before the year that he's a reliever long-term but I'll be thrilled if he proves me wrong.
