Blue Jays GDT: (2015 v15) Next: vs KC | Fri, July 31 | 7pm ET/4pm PT | Cueto vs Hutchison

[Man Bear Pig]

this guy has nasty movement on his pitches

buck and pat make it sound like he's got nothing and is just getting people out by being a crafty veteran

Well, Cueto is a bit of a different pitcher. He'll do his Japanese pause one pitch, and a slidestep the next. It's really strange and interesting to watch. He's deceptive and I have no clue how you can be consistent when you're constantly messing with your timing. That said, obviously the guy has god stuff.

 

[p.l.f.]

Hurray let's go let's go

 

[Eyedea]

Glad I'm not the only sane person here.

Sorry but no sane person says "let's move this 24 year old starter into the bullpen"

 

[Canada4Gold]

not sure you can say if his foot was on the base when it initially came back down. Feels like he'll be oput but I don't know

 

[PG Canuck]

safe

I'm not talking about in between numbers for this season , I'm talking about who the real Hutchison would be, which means his 2.21 ERA at home would be higher and his road stats would be significantly lower. Hutchison would be a guy closer to 3.90-4.20 ERA type pitcher , bottom of the rotation reliable starter. I'm not saying he's elite or will be elite but the guy is 24 . Time to relax on the guy , he's got a lot of potential and he's shown how good he is.

How can you say he's closer to a 3.90-4.20 ERA pitcher when in his best season he posted a 4.48? He hasn't been anything close to a sub 4 ERA pitcher in his career.

you can talk about how you were advocating Ross, but the Padres did basically nothing. Preller is quoted as saying that he believes his team can contend with the playoffs. It's likely a laughable sentiment, but there's your reason that Ross or Cashner or Kimbrel or Upton, or whoever else wasn't dealt from the Padres.

That, and this:

Probably because his Fielding Independent Pitching stats suggest he's that.

 

[TF97]

Looked out to me but I'd imagine there won't be enough evidence to overturn it

 

[The Nemesis]

What panic? Hutch has struggled all season and in the last month has a .925 OPS against, his BAPIP against is .356, 1.667 WHIP etc etc. He's been bad since the start of June really. Hutch was a concern well before we made all these deals.

then where was all the hand-wringing and fretting about it this morning? Where were the people decrying the moves that were made because they weren't another starter. The best we got was people saying "I'd still like to get another starter" but without any kind of urgency to suggest that the Jays were irrevocably crippled by a hole still on their roster. Instead there were people going on about how this team was going ot reel in the Yankees for the division lead or how deep the playoff run could go, etc. etc.

 

[Tony Romo]

That, and this:

There's no way that's legit

 

[Canada4Gold]

yeah I figured, can't clearly see when his foot was back on the base because it scraped the side of it, not enough evidence

 

[LaCarriere]

Probably because his Fielding Independent Pitching stats suggest he's that.

Except every year he's pitched worse than his FIP.

I love advanced stats as much as the next guy, but after 3 years you gotta start looking at guys who deliver results.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Maybe he's rattled!

 

[TF97]

Atta boy Pillar. Now move them over Goins

 

[TootooTrain]

Atta boy Pillar.

 

[p.l.f.]

Ah yes got those table setters on base

 

[Canada4Gold]

that hit his hand no? Guess not Goins isn't arguing

 

[SpezDispenser]

Goins can't hit = sacrifice please.

 

[TootooTrain]

Goins should have sold it, they don't have their review anymore

Fantastic slide Pillar.

 

[PG Canuck]

Atta boy pillar

goins is awful

 

[Bad News Benning]

why isn't Goins bunting the runners over? he has no chance against Cueto

 

[The Nemesis]

Good baserunning decision by Pillar?

What sorcery is this?!?!?

 

[Starry Knight]

Pillar saved the day there

Except plenty of pitchers haven't "figured it out" so to speak by 24/25 years of age. Many didn't even make it to the bigs at that age.
