mtutiger Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Obviously a small sample, but with Candy appearing to be round the corner on his slump, Schoop really sticks out like a sore thumb right now... Not sure what options they have other than continuing to wait it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gehringer_2 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I hope Jimenez is now officially the designated "only pitch in out of reach losses" pitcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont get the love affair... he can have the best stuff in the world, but it doesn't matter if he doesn't throw strikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was pretty comical that Jack was just talking about Joe "needing his changeup" when he can't even throw the FB for a strike.

buddha Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 how did faedo look? the box score and gamecast makes it sound like he got lucky not to give up more runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked in and out of trouble, location on slider seemed off, did throw a lot of strike tho. Reminds me a lot of Beau Brieske's first start, although with more hits allowed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's because when all the stars align for him, he does have a killer swing and miss FB. But it's like waiting to draw to an inside straight. Lose too many times waiting for it to hit.

casimir Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Double digits hits today. (Never mind that it came in a doubleheader.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There probably is some pitchers, I was just curious to see how we stacked up to crappy offensive players and poor Adam was one of the first that came to mind and sure enough he indeed did have a higher OPS than us. I will say though that offensive conditions are obviously much lower this year, particularly in the places we've played vs. Adam's time cause our OPS+ isn't THAT bad, it's a 91 where I think his was in the mid 60s.

I thought he was really good at hitting the edge of the strike zone and that's why the hits were singles instead of extra bases. He wasn't trying to get fancy and strike people out, he was just hitting his spots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm honestly surprised that for as awful as they've been hitting the long ball, they aren't much further behind the rest of the league in homers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, outside of Hutchison, he's the guy in the pen I trust the least... he shouldn't feel as inevitable as he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think his fastball makes a really loud noise when it hits the catcher's mitt and pitching coaches say "I can fix him". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
