GDT: 4/17/2016 Blue Jays vs Red Sox - Game 3/4

[Maahfaace]

Another solid start, sanchy pitching like a #3 right now. Very impressed with him so far this year

Good s***, Sanchez. That was some good s*** right there.

[Atothe]

I hate the walks, it makes the stat line so ugly

[darkness_falls]

Tulo needs to take a chill pill. He just seems like an uber-serious, uptight dude to me.

 

This should be his walk-up song:

Uhhh...he's pitching like a Cy candidate right now. ERA around 1...

[Angrioter]

Aaron Sanchez 20IP 2016:

20IP, (9 K, 3.15 BB, 0.90 HR)/9 = 3.49 FIP, 1.35 ERA

[Stoneyen]

A nice start for Sanchez, still lots of walks though. 7Ks is great, but more whiffs would've been nice to see. It will be interesting to see the full report after the game but he really threw almost entirely fastballs. When the curve was mixed in it looked really good and no one ever hit it well. Change up disappearance is still mystery.

But yeah I share your sentiment... He's been great!

Let's not.get crazy meow

[Effit]

Uhhh...he's pitching like a Cy candidate right now. ERA around 1...

 

lol

[Jimcanuck]

Uhhh...he's pitching like a Cy candidate right now. ERA around 1...

 

we dont use ERA in these parts

 

9K/9, 2.5 BB/9, >60% grounders

 

That's a No. 2 SP at least

Aaron Sanchez 20IP 2016:

20IP, (9 K, 3.15 BB, 0.90 HR)/9 = 3.49 FIP, 1.35 ERA

 

Great start, way better than I expected

[Swervin81]

This should be his walk-up song:

 

 

He's always been like that. Tulo is pretty much the embodiment of captain serious. He's even mroe captain serious than Toews.

[THANOS]

Aaron Sanchez 20IP 2016:

20IP, (9 K, 3.15 BB, 0.90 HR)/9 = 3.49 FIP, 1.35 ERA

 

Not bad, I'll take it. His contact management brings those numbers to a #2 since his FIP will, likely, always be far higher than his ERA.

 

If this kid can ever get average control of his stuff, not command, he could become elite.

[TilsonBritoFan]

Aaron Sanchez 20IP 2016:

20IP, (9 K, 3.15 BB, 0.90 HR)/9 = 3.49 FIP, 1.35 ERA

 

He has 20 K does he not? His FIP should be better...

[93 Jays]

Another solid start, sanchy pitching like a #3 right now. Very impressed with him so far this year

 

lol, yeah, a no 3 with an ERA under 1.5 and a WHIP under 1, throwing 7 innings plus against AL east opponents? His command hasn;t been spectacular but he's a no 2 now at worst, if not a no 1. He need a long way to go to prove he doesn't fall into his old ways with his walk but his numbers are the best on our staff right now

[Maahfaace]

He has 20 K does he not? His FIP should be better...

 

Lol

[gruber92]

Atta boy Russell, keep thinking the other way kid.

[THANOS]

There you go Martin, THAT'S your game, shooting the ball oppo.

[Jonn]

Rare hit for Martin.

[Belliss101]

Nice approach

[fatcowxlive]

If Gibby, in the upcoming series, decides to drop both Smoak and Colabello in favor of EE playing 1st and someone else DHing I would be very surprised and pleased

[Hal Johnson]

That's the way Martin needs to approach.

Who hit a homer off Sanchez?

[EdwinsParrot]

Would be huge if russ can get going

[Maahfaace]

Don't be fooled by era, FIP is a solid indicator of how he's pitching

[Maahfaace]

Who hit a homer off Sanchez?

 

Sousa

[fatcowxlive]

Angel Hernandez is a moron

[Hal Johnson]

A 'f*** you, Angel' hit by Pillar.
