Agreed. Think he needs to pick his spots with his fastball, but I've been impressed with him ability to locate his change up to both sides of the plate.

I'm not a fan of Mr. Gopher ball but at least he throws more than 2 pitches unlike some other young starter that we have
Man, everyone so down on Sims. First games in the bigs and faces the BEST team in MLB. He has given up one Homerun...I don't even count the other run from that crap Santana play. What the heck else do you want from him?? How about you let the kid pitch a few games before you throw him in the pen...dang.

Agree with this. His stuff basically always looked bad based on the reports I had read. No reason to change opinions on him now because he's in the majors. He's still a fourth/fifth starter type that may have trouble in our park, which is fine. Not everyone is going to be Kershaw.

Usually works on relievers after the game is over (down by 10+).

The sad thing about the bus crash is some players from that never recovered.
I'm a little surprised where his fastball is setting, but his pitches have movement and I've seen a lot of swings and misses. Not much hard contact with a really good hitting team.
Basically everyone already made their mind up before he hurled one pitch. It's like me saying after watching Ozzie bat one time "I didn't like that infield hit...he's just a bench guy."
"IF" he does turn out to be a reliever..he should be a great one. He attacks guys though and might just stick as a starter.

Puig is out by a mile if Flowers makes a good throw.

I'm really unclear how Sims is currently being charged with 3 ER? He should only have 1.

Let's start with the Santana play was never called an error for some reason when it should've been. Then with the last play I'm not sure what you call.
