  8. HERPDERP
    sad start
  9. HERPDERP
    sweet, Pillar is batting 9th. Separate the lefties and now with his hot bat we can reach the top of the order sooner

    Baltimore is actually 23rd in strikeouts at 92. By comparison, the Jays are at 141 and it's not even close. Next up is Houston/San Diego at 128.

    Stroman is smart enough to change it up. I'm sure he'll adapt if he thinks the strikeout will happen. Ideally you pitch to contact until 2 strikes, and then try for the punch out.

    It's intentional. He wants to pitch deep into games. https://sports.vice.com/ca/article/how-discovering-a-sinker-changed-everything-for-marcus-stroman "I'm a completely different pitcher than I was for the first 23 and a half years of my life," says Stroman, who must have started pitching at a very tender age. "I was a four-seam guy who had trouble getting to the sixth, seventh, eighth innings. It would be five, six innings, high strikeouts, homers, fly-ball guy. And now I'm the complete opposite." Now he aims to pitch to contact, and the sinker, when it's working, often induces weak contact. Indeed, in the seven regular-season starts since he came back from knee surgery last September, he has averaged 12 ground-ball outs. In his first start this year, he had 15.

    http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=y&type=8&season=2012&month=0&season1=2012&ind=0 Who on that list do you think we could get for 3 quality prospects on a team that is wiling to trade?

    I sure hope you follow Gary the Goat and Kevin the ****

    as I mentioned before -age doesn't matter with a knuckler. He had 2 good full seasons and 3/4 good season before the trade. -Dickey's knuckler is a unique enough pitch that it doesn't matter about the DH. The whole deal about the DH and pitchers changing leagues is because they only have to pitch to 8 hitters and the hitting pitcher can have fastballs pumped by him. Not to mention he dominated the NL so much in those years that even with league regression he would have been a good pitcher. -You aren't going to get a young ace for Syndergaard and d'Arnaud at that time. Why the hell would anyone do that sort of trade? If I recall AA in the conference, he said Cy Youngs don't often become available on the market, so thats why they made that move.

    tu es maricon issue was stupid. it's no different than a star Australian baseball player coming over here, befriending Josh Donaldson and calling him a ****
  17. HERPDERP
    Morneau would have been a pretty good pick for this team instead of Smoak, even if he cost more. I would have brought him on as the regular 1B as well.
  18. HERPDERP
    from what I remember back then, his fastball was very straight and had no sink, and his secondary pitches were very mediocre. He has pretty much addressed both those issues
  19. HERPDERP
    It was a reasonable trade at that time. Dickey was good for 2-3 years at a late age with the knuckler. He also pitched very well against AL East opponents and had great numbers in Tropicana with the dome. You don't get Cy Youngs by giving up one prospect.
  20. HERPDERP
    We can out pitch the Orioles for sure, but outhit? Not yet
  21. HERPDERP
    Dickey and passed balls are not 'unlucky'. It's expected.
  22. HERPDERP
    fatcow you got roasted bruh
  23. HERPDERP
    Tulo still needs to show he can hit with authority. Martin had a good AB and he went oppo. That is encouraging.
  24. HERPDERP
    too early to panic?
  25. HERPDERP
    fortunately though, our bullpen has the stuff to be effective - Chavez and Floyd particularly. I'm not excited about Venditte (against righties) or Storen, though.
