In the last week he looks like 2016 Sanchez. This is amazing stuff.
Hard swing/whiff, busting down the line, diving for a ball in the OF.. it's like there's a 70/30 chance he's coming up lame if he does any of those 3 things. I don't understand it.
I'm not impressed. I thought I read when the Yanks got him is that he gives you length. Not seeing it. I rather Cessa pitching than this guy. I can't believe they originally sent down Montgomery for him.

Cessa barely gets thru 4, now.
Yep..
And Gary did the same thing, Meatball down the middle.

40 RBI
I understand doing it. Sometimes it just seems excessive or inelegant.
But, you have to mix it up sometimes or else you just get shelled.
Headley is finally a good starting 3B again

when pitching. Get up 0-2 with FBs then throw 3 straight not even close balls. The come back with a FB to get the out. Why waste 2 or three pitches?

Meh, not every time and why waste three? Yeah you try to get them to swing at a ball off the plate. But at least get it to sniff the plate.

Pitching is virtually never as black and white as you're making it sound.

Why not? Because maybe you'd like to get thru 6? It is a waste to throw 3 not even close balls. They don't need to be in the other batters box if attempting to fool or entice a swing. The good sliders start on the plate and dive away.

Not trying to be black and white. Talking about being efficient. The Braves always taught their pitchers to throw strikes. Up/down, in/out. I think this waste pitch thing started late 70s.
I'm not against off the plate, just a foot off the plate. And yes they just throw a bad pitch, or it doesn't break.

and always will. Why would you throw an easy strike 0-2?

If pitchers could always throw it exactly as they wanted precisely where they want it, there would be 200 cy young winners a year.
0-2 ok. Not 1-2 and again at 2-2. And yes the idea is to conserve by getting the out without going 3-2 after being up 0-2.
I mean....

you have a higher probability getting an out throwing out of the zone 0-2 than throwing a strike. The goal is to get the out, not conserve pitches.

You are making it seem like pitchers choose to work a full count. I don't know what to tell you.
well a solid two inches anyway...but still a ball.
