2016 Blue Jays Homerun Contest
Daniel Labude replied to Daniel Labude's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Game 77 Vdub and Spanky +5 -
I'm not reading the rest of your post because I'm getting off for awhile, but to answer the first part....ALL of them. My brother is a huge White Sox fan and Sale is his favorite player.
-
If you think this was a peak game for Sale there is no point in continuing to debate this. He didn't have a good fastball, missed his spots a lot, left more than a few balls up, and had a below avg slider today for what he usually has.
-
His pitch selection was actually worse imo and his offspeed still can not be used effectively because he can't throw strikes with the 2 seam.
-
Doesn't matter it's a team sport and he did his job.
-
I will after tomorrow's game. I am going to be busy the rest of today and tomorrow.
-
And you are saying world class Allstar hitters are just an afterthought because you know an ace is on the mound. Anybody can be beat if you have the right approach. Today our hitters for the most part had a terrible one. I never said they are terrible hitters, but please keep making s*** up
-
At the end of the day Stroman did his job against the White Sox. Only gave up 2 earned runs and if the defense did it's job it would have been tied 2-2 in the 8th inning. Not a good start but 100% acceptable
-
It's like you are ignoring what I am saying and making it up to fit your own agenda
-
Sale isn't using the Philosophy from his Cy caliber seasons. He is using Stroman's philosophy of pitch to contact. According to you no one ever gets a hit off an ace. It's like these professional hitters are just bricks that are at the mercy of the amazing pitcher
-
He did not throw a 4 seam from what I saw...and if you mean overall on the 2 seam...it was about a month or two after he came back up in his rookie season if I remember correctly.
-
The approach from yesterday seems to have gone MIA
-
Hopefully they realize it's not the windup but the pitch in general isn't working.
-
Yes some need perspective. If a pitcher continuously throws the ball outside and 8/9 hitters keep pulling the ball for gb outs. The pitcher didn't do a great job...the hitters did a horrible job.
-
This month KC and Detroit had a combined 20 hits and 9 runs off Sale in 12 innings...so he hasn't been that good. Heck those outings are very similar to Stroman today. Edit: towards the end of May the Indians scored 6 runs on 7 hits and 4 walks in 3.1 innings on Sale. Guy is not unhittable
-
That can be said about the offense today as well.
-
Stroman has to go back to being a 4 seam pitcher. He can not control the 2 seam. It's very similar to Sanchez last season. Can't throw it for a strike and when he does its up and moving more sideways then down.
-
It's better than his last start and his velo is up 3 mph...which is much improved. Problem is he has no offspeed pitches that are useful.
-
I can't believe we didn't let Pompey start everyday when Bautista got hurt.
-
And he is purposefully pitching to contact this year...so that pitching philosophy can work
-
When it's 95 and hitting his spot...White Sox don't strike out a lot so it's a good first inning
-
95, 95, 95 , 95, 94... is the gun hot or is Stroman throwing harder?
-
He didn't know where he hit the ball so he was delayed out of the box as you said. Wasn't smart to run that's for sure.

I disagree about Donaldson. If they sign him to an extension this offseason...a 5 year deal would be perfect.
