“Beginning in 2021, Sonny Gray has a 6.22 in his July starts with a .465 slugging percentage against him. In all other months (combined) since '21 he has a 3.03 ERA and has yielded a .352 slugging pct.” Bernie

But he wont leave STL

It’s not just St. Louis. He’s been in all parts of the country over those 5 seasons. The best ERA he has had during that time in July is 4.85 in 2023.

But this means he will pitch well in Sept and October!!!

[Absolut]

Can’t wait for those cool August starts

It’s not hot in July all over the country?
I said when they signed him that theres an issue with his stamina, being able to last in games and the season. He’s 5’10 180. Most SP are well over 6ft these days.

Can't wait until we have a legit #1 pitcher... sigh....

October??

[Clubmaker2]

Shelby Miller, and another guy maybe it was Ken Hill, who seemed to not take the high temps

[RamFan08NY]

Or.......it could just be he is just your typical #3 starting pitcher.

101 played interview, think he said he has trouble gripping the ball.

It wasn't he "couldn't handle the heat" rather you can't get a good grip on the ball when the humidity is as high as it's been.

S. Alcantara said the same thing.

Good old spider tack was the solution, but gone.

was stupid to take that away, just ask the hitters if they want a guy throwing 95 or more to have a good grip on the ball

Amen hawk

I would rather the guy get more spin on the ball than I would taking one off the old coconut or in the ribs.

[OldRed]

Maybe he is best fitted for a one inning relief pitcher.
