Stroman gives Mets a sinking feeling, completes 8 innings in Cubs victory. McGrawDHSports Cubs
Kyle Hendricks isn't likely to wave his arms and rile up the crowd on his way off the mound, but this was Marcus Stroman's night.
"I would say he's as calm and collected as anybody in a lot of ways, but not afraid to express himself too, which I think is an awesome combination," teammate Nico Hoerner said."We feed off his energy. You only get the ball so many times and he takes advantage of each time.""I want a CG more than anything," Stroman said."That's kind of why I put as much work as I do in is to go out there and go seven, eight, nine innings.
Stroman spent two years with the Mets before signing with the Cubs in 2022, but said that wasn't a factor in his mind. "Pretty much they know I'm throwing my sinker and they're swinging at my sinker," Stroman said."So it's just like, 'Here it is.' And when I get it to the spot I can get it to, when I'm dialed in mechanically, I feel like I'm going to win those battles a majority of the time. But when I'm off and that pitch starts to leak up, those can become very hittable pitches if my mechanics are off.
