John Smoltz doesn’t believe that Sonny Gray will resolve his Yankee Stadium dilemmas by analyzing footage from recent outings. No good can come from it.
Instead, the Hall-of-Fame pitcher and current MLB Network analyst suggests that Gray, who currently owns an inflated 8.25 ERA in eight starts in the Bronx, should rewind his mind in order to reclaim confidence and remove his title as an adrift rotation piece.
The trick? Open the vault and re-watch old clips that ended on a high note.
“What I think he’s got to get back to is watch the film of success that he’s had,” Smoltz said on MLB Network Friday.
