He's been s*** for the most of the year. I never thought he could succeed in the rotation and I still don't. It's too easy to see the ball out of his hand, no deception, no length.

 

He pitched well in 2014 and late 2015/Post season which arguably is about the same sample size as all his bad starts this year. At least a third of his starts have been quality this year and this start was great and you know it too... 6 Ks through 6 with no walks, over 60% GB% with less than 80 pitches thrown, that's pretty freaking good for his first full season, he just hung one pitch with runners on, it happens

xFIP's got him at 2.55 and he has 6Ks through 6 he's pitched a great game so far id even give him the 7th

 

What's his SwStr% though?

I still can't believe Stro or Martin thought that was a good pitch to throw to Dickerson.

 

The pitch itself, wasn't executed, you hangy, they bangy, MJ!!!

The offense really needs to get it going, whens the last time they have put up a crooked number. Doesn't matter who the pitcher is, it's the same thing every game.

Saunders swings at ball 4 way off the plate twice.

 

The offense is worse than Stroman by far. We have been owned for 2 series in a row and struggle to get 5 hits in a game. Stroman made a bad pitch but the offense aside from Donaldson has looked even worse

I've never agreed with you so much, fatcow, in like a long time. Well done.

To risky though given what he did to the se pitch last night. Probably better off with the fastball that time. Oh well, he will learn from that

I look at the swings hitters take against him and they are so comfortable. They see the ball really well and have more time than with your average pitcher. He just doesn't have what it takes in my opinion, it has nothing to do with this start.

Just out of curiosity, just how Finnish are you Jonn? Is it your first language?

 

Yes it is. I speak it everyday. I don't use it as an excuse though. I just didn't know the grammar police would be in full force. That plus a lack of sleep eagerly anticipating this trade plus having meetings all day hasn't helped.

He learned English from porn.

 

That's probably why I'm so vulgar. Throating is just such a demeaning term. I love it. Really hits the point home.
