Cameron Maybin coming up I'd like to see someone come up with a reason to pull him without getting mocked. It can't be done. You can't. Obviously he wasn't as sharp anymore after carving up the Yankees for most of the game, but he didn't look gassed at all. The move made no sense, as it was his 4th game since coming off the DL.

countingcrow 142 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Disclaimer: I’m a Snell owner in a QS league. He was at 38 pitches through 3 innings. It took him 58 pitches to get the next 8 outs. He was far less efficient in innings 4 - 6 so while the early hook might suck for us fantasy players I’m not going to criticize Cash for his in-game decisions when this team is playing as well as they are so far this year. 🤷🏻♂️ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KilloWertz 2,557 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) Blake Snell has now given up 4 runs in his last 3 starts combined, but has been given 1 run of run support in each of those starts to give him a record of 0-1 in those starts. Amazing, especially since they scored 7 runs last night when Snell was originally scheduled to pitch. I would say he's the 2019 Jacob deGrom, and he is, but the Rays are now 29-19. At least you could understand it to an extent given how bad the Mets were, but the Rays are the complete opposite and he still isn't getting Wins. Cash babying him doesn't help, but still, this makes little sense. Edited May 25, 2019 by KilloWertz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KilloWertz 2,557 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I wonder if a poll should be made about whether anybody thinks Snell is going to win any games the rest of the season. Now 4 starts in a row where he's allowed 2 runs or less and has 0 Wins to show for it after their bullpen blew it tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's a stud and the wins will come. Tampa is a good squad. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tampa is a good squad. I know he is. I'm not looking to deal him or anything. I actually believe he's the best pitcher in baseball. It's just getting beyond ridiculous that they score in 4 games straight, but then it's Snell's turn and they forget how to score for one game. It'd be different if it was just a couple of starts, but he's been good/great in every start except for his Opening Day start and the two after he came back from his broken toe, and has little to show for it. I know one would say just don't watch his starts, but it is getting hard to watch them because no matter how good he pitches, you basically expect him to not have a chance at getting a Win right from the start because it's all that's happened almost all season. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Look at it this way. He’s having such bad luck right now that it will likely turn for the better come fantasy playoff time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KilloWertz 2,557 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 He gets his first win today since May 6, through mostly no fault of his own (other than the Detroit game last time out). I guess it's time to pull this picture out again... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mehtavg2000 304 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I would love to see him go more than 6 on occasion but that's being extremely nitpicky. In a year where pitching is sporadic (to put it nicely), it's nice to have someone like Snell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In a year where pitching is sporadic (to put it nicely), it's nice to have someone like Snell. Some of it is because of their manager babying him, but I think a lot of it has to do with all of the swinging strikes he gets, which I believe he leads the league in. That obviously doesn't lead to a lot of really quick outs, which is great obviously outside of him being able to go deeper into games. Still, like you said, it's nice to have a pitcher like Snell, even if their offense has made it extremely frustrating for getting Wins with the lack of run support. If it wasn't for the freak toe injury and the lack of run support, he'd be right up there where he should be with his by far league leading K-rate. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vthunder 122 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 That could have been the worst performance by a starting pitcher I have ever seen. How can he be this bad? The guy was basically un-hittable last year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ty5592 442 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 His fip is slightly higher than last year but his siera and xfip are lower. His strikeout and walk rates are better this year. He’s giving up less hard contact (both fangraphs and statcast) lees barrels. XBA XSLG and XWOBA are all better than last year. I don’t get it even if there was to be some regression this year he should still be elite. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IceGoat 326 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) I paused the Yankees game while CC was warming up, then showered and did various things around my place. I had it paused for a while. I began to watch the game, while fast forwarding in between pitches, and I didn't make it out of the first inning. The Yankees' half of the 1st was so long I ran out of DV-R slack. Methinks he is a good buy-low. Unlike mostly everyone else here, I am not his owner this year. I have plenty of other players to fill the aggravation void on my team. Edited June 19, 2019 by IceGoat 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mehtavg2000 304 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I’m wondering if the toe still bothers him or maybe it’s just something mental. He’s had several good starts since the injury but also several complete ratio-killing disasters. At any rate, he is not even remotely reliable right now. His upside is high but apparently his downside is just as low. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
