We should learn by now not to go by a small sample size. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted May 28, 2025 Share Posted May 28, 2025 Disappointing start for Smith. One thing if they had hit him, but 5bb and HBP is just gonna kill you in the majors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not a hot streak but rather someone who looks like he knows what he's doing. That does not mean there won't be slumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
