Matt Boyd stud thread

lol your dumn

 

If they made Sanchez look good, though, they wouldn't be flawed. Or if we had dealt Sanchez instead of Syndergaard.

You're really mixing two different things. You're saying that he hasn't really gotten it done, because if you remove luck, etc he's been slightly below average. Regardless of how he's done it (it can be pure luck), the actual results (run prevention) have been above average, which is "getting it done". That doesn't mean we can expect him to continue to do so going forward (advanced stats suggest not, at least until he curbs the walk rate). It also doesn't mean that he's outpitched his peers thus far in a neutral context.

 

As for future health, I don't believe the sinker should cause him any additional issues, nor the curve. It seems health issues tend to come more from the cutter / slider.

 

I didn't say anything about "luck". I said that he hasn't really provided much value unless you want to praise him for his low ERA after being effective in a handful of starts and ignore the fact that he's already missed 1/3 of the games played. That's not my definition of getting it done and it doesn't really have much relevance to what was being discussed... North made a point that his secondary stuff needs work and that he doesn't have the skills to succeed as a starter and I agreed and stated that the majors is not the place for him to learn on the job... Hence the "this isn't the 'try' league, it's the 'get it done' league" comment.

They try to give me pitching stats that only support their view yet I'm smart enough to see the whole picture. What happens in a given AB has many variables almost all out of the pitchers control. Pitchers stats are dependent on the hitters faced and hitters stats are dependent on pitchers faced

[Smokey]

like i've said before.... sanchez should have been at Buffalo to start the year. circumstances made him part of the rotation. he's had some good starts, some poor ones, but not once has he 's*** the bed'. he's also young, and pitching and having some success in MLB no doubt has done a lot for his development and confidence. he's right where he should be, unless a trade brings in a SP upgrade, then he likely moves to the bullpen to limit IP

 

Not really. If anything, he's lost a lot of confidence in his secondary stuff to a point where he almost abandoned them in his last few starts. If you think he can be effective going out there for 6-7 innings every night relying solely on one pitch, then I guess he's "right where he should be"...

I hope he does well against every team but us.

[jaysfan2014]

League adjustment hasn't happened yet.

 

That and they're pitching in large ballparks. Comerica's much larger than Rogers Centre.

[RealAccountant]

Christ 2 strikeouts. Buddy boy Boyd will get crushed soon enough.

[Caper]

I hope he blossoms into a nice 4th starter.
