ST GDT: Mets @ Jays (March 23 at 1:07 ET)

[THANOS]

Aaron Sanchez

 

SSS Spring Training

 

13.2IP 1.98 ERA 3ER 15K 3BB

 

It's now:

 

20IP, 1.35 ERA, 3ER, 19K, 3BB

[THANOS]

any word on pitch count?

 

69 according to GD

[burlingtonbandit]

As a guy who picked up Gavin Floyd for fantasy I think you have to give Sanchez the 5th spot at this point. He's earned it and although ST stats are pretty tough to evaluate the fact that he cut down on the walks is a huge positive.

 

If you put him in the bullpen it just sends a bad message to the rest of the team as they all clearly would rather Sanchez starts. In terms of value it makes much more sense to have him start and worst case if he struggles in the first month you can put him back in the pen and say at least you gave it a shot.

Ah didn't realize it wasn't updated. Dayum.

Trade Dickey/ Thole

Aaron Sanchez' 1.35 ERA is a real bad news. Cmon Shatkins, dont do this!!

[G-Snarls]

Dat muscle!

[THANOS]

19/3 K/BB what world am I in? Shatkins development system wasting no time.

 

They probably told him, you'll only get a chance to start if you have 4 pitches that you use frequently, can throw for strikes, and can get strikeouts with.

Just admit you're wrong bro. Sanchez will make a decent #5 starter as long as he keeps his walk rate down.

How? - Adding 25 pounds?

 

Im Sanchez' owner

[Cyborg]

It would be pretty awesome if Sanchez could maintain a 3+ K/BB.

[burlingtonbandit]

Floyd has looked good as a starter but even Sanchez has "outperformed" him. I feel like he's a much better fit for RC as well with all the groundballs and the elite infield defense behind him. Good chance he outperforms his FIP to a larger extent than Floyd would.

[HERPDERP]

 

maybe I'm just dumn but what does this mean? He s***ing on Sanchez?

[burlingtonbandit]

He's saying Sanchez has looked really good so if he can't make the rotation you must have a pretty f***ing good rotation.

Maybe he found something in his delivery in the off season while working out with Stroman.

[THANOS]

He's suggesting that our rotation would have to be much better than the perception of it, if Sanchez doesn't make it. I think he's being sarcastic as well.

[HERPDERP]

thanks. Now I know how it feels to be angrioter

[KingKat]

So basically all our pitchers should just do their work at Duke instead of in the system.

[Angrioter]

Maybe he found something in his delivery in the off season while working out with Stroman.

 

Something that he wasn't found in his previous six years. Great!!

[intentional wok]

Hrmm tempted to put some money on this with the Jays winning.

 

[King]

lol

[burlingtonbandit]

I'm kinda scared we haven't heard anything on Tulo yet. If X rays came back negative and it was nothing you'd think you'd hear it by now.

[Maahfaace]

Is the Sanchez thread gonna blow up after this start meow?

[Chowder888]

Carrera walk off!

[Dr. Dinger]

Every minute that goes by just makes me more certain it's broken.

Gibbons said Tulo got hit on knuckles of right hand. Swollen in dugout and was "cut up a bit" Gibbons said. Gone for X-rays. No results yet.

 

Broken finger

[burlingtonbandit]

Every minute that goes by just makes me more certain it's broken.

 

Yeah someone tweeted out they're waiting for Tulo to address the media which can't be good. Brings back the memories of Stroman last year. We talk about Sanchez vs Floyd but if Tulo is out for any significant amount of time that is a massive blow. Going from Tulo to Barney is one worst downgrades possible.

[glory]

Yeah, f*** the 5th starter debate. The Jays need Tulo.
