AL East Clinch Day Thread - RIP Miguel Gonzalez

[Krylian]

Man, can this game go any slower? We want to clinch already!

 

Savour it, boys!

 

We're about to clinch the AL East. About to take a 2 game lead on the Royals...and are beating on the O's 8-0...in Baltimore...where their fans can suck a big hairy dick.

 

Life is good. Don't wish for it to go by quickly.

91-92 max...even in his best years.

 

He could touch 94-95 when he came up in the late 80's. But quickly changed his approach.

[Dr. Dinger]

Stroman's two-seamer is UNREAL today, he's front-dooring it with like 10 inches of movement.

If I wasn't 50 and a technological chimpanzee If be able to navigate fangraphs V charts easier. Looking on it. not sure the records were even very good back then though.

[gruber92]

I wonder if we can beat them with our AAA lineup. With home field advantage still on the line I still hope they would do everything to try to win including pinch hitting and using key relievers.

 

Yeah, using a drunk EE or Bautista to pinch hit for Smoak late in the game would still be a thousand times better.

I checked...only back to 2007 in Fangraphs..when he was 41...but his max fastball that year his 94.

 

And maybe my memory isn't what it used to be, but when he was with the Cubs, I'm convinced he could touch 95.

When people talk about Sanchez's ceiling, this is it.

[Atothe]

So this is what it looked like when Stroman was in Lansing

[Followthelight]

Stroman looks dominant wow.

If only he had anywhere near the command of Stroman. I'm sure Alex will turn Sanchez into something nice.

 

If Shapiro pushes him to because we know AA loves him

Thanks. Deneke may be right. I watched him a lot and mostly I remember 89-91 ....always on the corners...and movement on everything with a wicked comeback FB to RHH.

Sanchez is also miles away from having Stroman's repertoire. The former has one plus (sometimes plus-plus) and an average pitch with plus potential, while the latter has something like 6 plus pitches with at least half being plus-plus on an average start.
