Was Sasaki Over-Hyped?
I know he's only 23 and has had a lot 'placed in front of him', but ML hitters can hit ANY fastball -and until he proves he can control it, his so-called super breaking stuff won't be as much a factor.
Dodgers are still 4-0 - UGH! .

If I remember correctly, Yamamoto's early starts last year weren't the greatest, but he eventually settled in and had decent results overall for the season.
I was actually at the Dodgers game on Saturday and saw Sasaki's start. His control was definitely lacking, but talking to a number of Dodger fans sitting around me, no one was giving up on him after just 2 starts. Also, what were his spring training numbers like? Was his control better then?

Way too early to make assumptions. Nothing from his abbreviated 2024 season or his limited spring training appearances suggests an issue with control. IMO yesterday’s start is probably more of an outlier than an expectation. I’ve read the Dodgers spent some time this spring tweaking his mechanics and most of his misses Saturday were to his arm side so I wonder if he was trying to over adjust. Anywho… I think he’ll be fine.

I watched the game on TV. Certainly looked like nerves to me. 2 or 3 more starts like this and I would start to get concerned.
