Why is Navarro at DH over EE? Is Edwin hurting? -
his slider looked so good near the end of last year too......
-
its obvious he's inconsistent, My original point still stands, he has had trouble locating his fastball and slider with both being flat at times. And it looks like hes been getting hit harder, LD% backed that up from last year. even though the question was for GD, you didnt answer what i was asking with regards to his command. If you look back my first post was with regards to his fastball not whether or not he should be sent down, which was an obvious troll attempt by the OP.
-
so you would argue command isnt his issue, it seems like you didnt directly answer my question
-
ok so throwing the numbers aside, im assuming you watch all the jays game you can. From what you see from hutch this year, would you say he is consistently commanding his pitches?
-
did you mean that one? I apologize for not responding, I will now, again my english is s***, correlation probably isnt the correct word. Help me out here then, if Hutch's LD% is 25% and league avg is .600 on it, and he lowers it to 20% by a mix of GB/FB/SO and thier respective league averages, would his babip not be lower? Im of the understanding that a lower LD% will more often than not result in a lower babip as post by twisted logic and his top 17 bottom 17 comparisons.
-
Im seeing a theme with your posts.......you're kind of a grammar/spelling/irony/thesaurus troll
-
naw, i cant prove it, nor would i waste my time trying to research it. Im kind of a casual poster who sees this common theme that why a pitcher doesnt succeed is all luck based.....which is not true at all. It defintely has an impact, but luck does not solely explain why hutch is inconsistent.
-
I agree demoting him would be stupid and really isnt even an option, however, you can most certainly strike guys out at a high rate while still lacking consistency with locating your pitches, this is where luck does come into play. If you miss down and away, chances are it will not be a hard hit ball, you miss up in the zone, chances increase that it will be hit harder. From what I have noticed his mistakes have been up in the zone more. The same issue I noticed in Matt Boyd's start, his fastball was flat and up in the zone alot, it doesnt mean every single time its going to be hit hard, but the chances of it go up.
-
english is my third language, sorry if it doesnt meet your standards
-
Once again you imply that I said it is the only reason, ITS NOT, the point I was making was that hutch's up and down year is not solely based on luck, as a good number of you believe. Other factors are in play and one of them is the fact that he hasn't consistently located his fastball down in the zone, leading to a higher LD%. and a higher babip than last year. Disagree all you want, but I have watched nearly every start from hutch this year and he has not been consistent start to start, heck even some innings he comes out looking like a different pitcher. To argue against that is what really silly
-
League average for LD is over .600 GB in the .240 range FB in the .215 range, with obviously more XBH Does that help?
-
Coming from a stats guru like yourself Im kind of shocked you don't understand then correlation of babip to LD%
-
Where did I say hutch sux....I'm not advocating send him down in any way. Just that luck isn't the only reason he hasn't been consistently pitching well. Some of you guys act as if every pitch that leaves his hand is identical and in a vacuum. Some days you just don't have it and pitches are left up in the zone/ less movement. It's not all luck as some of you stats only guys keep suggesting
-
Really ********? U think line drives don't affect babip?
-
Look at his LD%. those are babip inflators.
