BaconOnAStick Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 He's 13th in IP among all pitchers from 2013-2015. That's because he is the rare pitcher these days who truly seems to have a rubber arm. I like Quintana, I think he's a very good pitcher, I think he can be the #2 on playoff team. He does hold himself back sometimes, especially with the nibbling. But the nibbling is part of his essence so I forgive it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 I can't believe this umpire is calling all these inside strikes and he couldn't bother to give Quintana that fourth ball to Sano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) God damn it Avi. He's such a conundrum. Showed great patience the last PA and got a walk. This time, goes after the first pitch and pops it up... Edited April 11, 2016 by chw42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Quintana is effective because of the nibbling, he doesn't have overpowering stuff. If he didn't nibble he wouldn't be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have been taking all the way there unless it was dead red outside fastball that he can drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm willing to give Avi some slack because he's still young. If he's still doing this when he's 28, then probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People said his swing was similar to Cabrera, which is not the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
