August 10, 2025Aug 10 Author Sandy was doing much better relying on the slider. The curveball is a trash pitch and he needs to drop it
August 10, 2025Aug 10 Just now, Rydawg said:Does Sandy have any options left? He needs to work through his issues, some of which are mental, in the minors.Don't need to option him, just put him on the IL and say it's load management from Tommy John. It's not that hard.
August 10, 2025Aug 10 Can we fire all the analysts that pull shit out of their asses? The reason why Sandy is afraid of throwing the fastball is that he has had that pitch crushed all season long. It is literally the worst pitch in his arsenal based on statcast run value. Edited August 10, 2025Aug 10 by FishFan95

August 10, 2025Aug 10 Sandy's 4 seamer has always been mediocre. He was a sinker/slider/changeup guy. This year the only pitch working is the sinker.

Really thought he was turning the corner and the club deciding to keep him would help him and his confidence. But no, he is just terrible now. Feels like watching a loved one slowly dying. Really painful to see him fall this far.

The reverse of Rod Allen who was shocked they were crushing Quantrill with eight righties in the lineup despite the stats all showing Quantrill sucks against RHB.This is just ... bleh.The good news is we have Monday off so maybe we get a breather and figure out something.

Both games today have triggered my Mattingly-induced PTSD.

I thought TJ load management was a real thing. I've always thought load management is a wife or girls friends job, anyway. 😉
August 10, 2025Aug 10 THIS IS EXACTLY LIKE A MATTINGLY MANAGED GAME, FUCKBad pitcher makes one run deficit to larger deficit, team rallies back and scores what WOULD have been go-ahead runs.
