Looks like this one will be over quick. Manoah with a pitch clock is probably our 5th starter.

Did he look this bad in the spring? It's not even just his breaking pitches his fastballs are like 6-7 inches off.

This isn't regression. He's nowhere close to the guy he was last year in any regard (command or stuff).

I don't watch much ST baseball, but he was pretty terrible there too if you look at his results. He waved them off as just being meaningless spring ball.

Manoah looks cooked. Yikes.

One year wonder. Berrios and Kikuchi results still in progress

Are you ignoring the fact that Manoah was also elite in 2021?

I've always wondered why manoah was so effective. His pitch repertoirenever seemed elite. He has a 2 seamer, slider and whst else? What made him so unhittablr last season?

Sure in one year. But right now how are you going to explain this. He’s trash. Maybe everyone has scouted him and know his tendencies/tipping his pitches lmao

Great pitchers have had rough starts before. I think he'll he fine based on past results.
