General 2018 Blue Jays Discussion Thread
Orgfiller replied to Bobthe4th's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
His velocity has changed though. Both his fastball and his sinker are around 1-2 mph slower than previous seasons, including last year when he first started dealing with the blister issues. However I do believe it's possible/likely that this is a conscious effort on his part to potentially reduce the risk of blister issues further arising or simply lessening the pressure or effort that he puts on those pitches. -
Congrats havok, few would be as deserving of a title. Happy for you bro!
-
Thanks I wasn't aware. You missed the point.
-
Okay? He's been excellent, but he hasn't been the best pitcher in the American League. The fact that he's 21-5 should have zero bearing on his candidacy for the Cy Young. Would you take Blake Snell over deGrom?
-
It'd be pretty clear to me that if he wins it's largely due to his W-L record and ERA. Snell has been very good, but doesn't have enough innings and his per inning performance hasn't been as elite as other candidates like Bauer, Sale, Carrasco.
-
Pat Tabler just said he thinks Blake Snell is the favourite to win the Cy Young. Pitcher winzzzzzz
-
Yeah but back then no one got strikeouts. Cy Young only reached 200 strikeouts twice for example. When starters were going 300+ innings the K rates were usually less than 5 per 9, with only the truly elite getting a decent number of them.
-
Ok it's getting a bit out of hand now.
-
What a play by Pannone! I thought he had no shot there.
-
Was it Keith Law who he said he couldn't hit premium velocity? Because I'd say Glasnow has that.
-
Rowdy is having an unforgettable September.
-
I think it's likely we see Gurriel all over the field and Bichette sticking at SS, provided that his offense is good enough to play him of course.
-
Three homers in a row. Not bad I guess.
-
That slider is so good, great sequencing from SRF and McGuire.
-
It's actually despicable that they both didn't include Trout and included Khris Davis of all people who's not even the best hitter on his team, let alone the most valuable player.
-
Gurriel's game-tying homerun was hit at a 43 degree angle, holy s***.
-
Probably not on this level, but he appears to be a plus runner and defender with some decent pop and can be around 100-110 wRC+ which makes him a very interesting guy.
-
12 through 6.
-
Walker Buehler is carving up the Rockies. 10 strikeouts through 5.
-
Didn't even see them. You're doing God's work.
-
Just stream them.
-
Unless Betts strikes out in every at-bat until the end of the season it's totally valid to hand him the award. WAR isn't precise to the decimal and right now he and Trout are indistinguishable by it, there's plenty of argument to be made for either to win it. I'd prefer it was merely on account of how they helped their team rather than rewarding Betts for playing on a substantially better roster, but unfortunately that's not the way voters think.
-
What are you talking about? You said our best minor league pitchers are Borucki and SRF, while Pearson has routinely been rated higher by prospect sites. I don't have an issue with SRF being considered our best pitching prospect for what it's worth, but I think if you asked most prior to the season Pearson would have been that guy.
-
He's having a really tough time out there.
-
That's pretty crazy, I had no idea.
