Chart explanation
Brandon Morrow is a quality starting pitcher. Remember what that looks like? It’s actually pretty fun to watch.

Opening day starter next year?
No doubt.
Assuming he’s healthy enough to start the season, yes.
If only we could find flexible enough bubble wrap for him to pitch in…
Holy shit, just looked at the schedule and only 7 more home games. Guess I know what I’m doing that week. Now if only Morrow could pitch every one of those games…
I love the post-game graphs. Stats plus humour summarized in an easily digestable format is good times. Also, my man-crush on Morrow is growing. It’s nowhere near Parkes-Bumgarner proportions but really, what is?
I agree these graphs are an excellent addition. If Morrow can stay healthy he will be a true ace by any definition.
IF he can stay healthy (really hoping this isnt that big of an IF), I feel like hes got a real legit shot at some Cy Young like seasons
<3 Morrow
Heart Hech indeed. That dinger yesterday was a beautiful piece of hitting, 2nd decker. No Yankee stadium cheapee there
Isn’t Moises Sierra actually the least relevant, or is that a typo?
If Hechavarria can actually hit balls like that more than twice in a season, I think we just might be looking at our future SS/2B. He’s been fantastic with the glove, he’s far from a liability on the basepaths. and if you remove his first 15 games, he’s been hitting around .250. And heck, he could even teach Gose a thing or two about laying down a bunt.
