GDT: ST Blue Jays vs Phillies (March 31) - 1:07 PM Audio: MLB.com

[Laika]

Man Sanchez is competing so hard out there today. Love it.

[HERPDERP]

Yes, I was exaggerating. Sanchez had the same amount of walks while giving up less hits and more K's then Buerhle coming into this start. Sanchez is a rookie. He may walk people. People need to get over it.

 

Being a rookie has nothing to do with it.

[Daniel Labude]

Yeah I guess if he gives up 1 run this season he is a bust. Have to be the greatest of all time or its time to cut him

[LGBJ29]

why do people feel they need to go to extreme's when opposing an argument? How old are you?

[G-Snarls]

Lol this is comical. Walked Howard again. 6 BB in the game.

 

I am not laughing

[Daniel Labude]

Lol this is comical. Walked Howard again. 6 BB in the game.

 

You know what pitches he was throwing...could be he was trying a 2 sesamer or another new pitch they keep trying to teach the young pitchers

[HERPDERP]

Worst possible outcome to end the ST. Other than Martin breaking a knee or whatever.

 

Seriously, they better interview Sanchez and see if he owns up to it.

 

Or he'll use that ******** line that they are all competitive walks.

[Governator]

Sanchez is done:

WARNING DO NOT READ

 

4.1 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 6 BB, 2 K

 

rough.

It's one game. He hasn't had a problem with walks since June of last year, give the guy a break!!!!

[Candide]

i cannot wait until sanchez dirties all over your foul, seditious lips in the regular season.

[Daniel Labude]

Buehrle doesn't have a hit problem? He has a league average BABIP for his career. He just strikes out less guys.

 

Not talking about career

[baubau]

Sanchez just doesn't want to be in any trade to the Phillies and why he decided to blow up today guys. Its all part of his plan to stay with the Jays. Relax. /sarcasm

[LGBJ29]

Wilner just told me on twitter Sanchez's minor league bb/9 numbers aren't bad hahahah

[HERPDERP]

Except that blip for Halladay was long after he solved his control issues. That was an abberation (sp).

 

Sanchez has been known to have problems with control, and still does.

[Daniel Labude]

You can't be a good pitcher with a WHIP over 1.4.

Like Buerhle with 3 years over 1.4...and the last 2 seasons at 1.35

[Daniel Labude]

BABIP takes 8 years to stabilize.

Walks take half a year.

Sure those assumptions are fact right....lol

[HERPDERP]

Sexy Donaldson is making me forget about this pitching gongshow

Still not a fact/happens for everyone

[glory]

Estrada should be the #5 starter, with Sanchez in the pen, and Hendriks as the long man.

[Angrioter]

Wilner just told me on twitter Sanchez's minor league bb/9 numbers aren't bad hahahah

What is worse, Wilner's answer or you asking Wilner?

[TBJ12]

Bautista and Donaldson bombs.

 

So the big 3 all went deep today. Can't wait to see that happen during the regular season!

[JaysFan75]

Except that blip for Halladay was long after he solved his control issues. That was an abberation (sp).

 

Sanchez has been known to have problems with control, and still does.

 

Until today, he's been clean since last June. That's enough of a track record to suggest that today might just be a blip. He may still have control problems, but he might not. Today doesn't prove it either way.

[Angrioter]

Osuna strikes out the side.

 

Bad sign

[reedjohnsonfan]

Still not a fact/happens for everyone

 

Yeah for sure. AA has said several times Sanchez was transitioning to more of a strike thrower last year. That's why you can remain cautiously optimistic that he'll have decent (not great) strikeout numbers too, he was going through some adjustments. Just let the kid pitch before assuming he'll be garbage.

[HERPDERP]

Osuna strikes out the side.

 

Bad sign

 

Osuna stay in the minors to get stretched out.

 

Then replace Sanchez in rotation after a few weeks.

[G-Snarls]

Bautista and Donaldson bombs.

 

We're gonna need a lot of that to bail out this pitching staff. (maybe)

[G-Snarls]

So the big 3 all went deep today. Can't wait to see that happen during the regular season!

 

100 home runs is what happens

[gruber92]

Sanchez is done:

WARNING DO NOT READ

 

4.1 IP, 6 H, 5 R, 5 ER, 6 BB, 2 K

 

Slight overreaction?

[glory]

Osuna and Castro in the pen and Sanchez in the rotation. All three will be demoted by the end of May.

[HERPDERP]

Slight overreaction?

 

How is that an overreaction? That's a putrid line. Looks like a Drabek post TJ x2
