Hinch has actually called it “magic dust” in interviews.
Another trenchant comment by a jealous lesser intellect.

With Sanchez, the magic seemed to be: “You have a great curveball, use it. “

And, lay off the 2-seamer in favor of the 4-seamer.

This is, usually in combo with "you have a bad sinker(or other but mostly sinker) don't use that as much" Cole, Morton, Sanchez, Miley had done it before he got here but he used to throw sinkers, Pressly it was, less 2seam, more 4seam and curves/sliders.

I’m waiting for more data.  He pitched well in his last starts prior to the trade, and it was the Mariners after all. It’s seems likely that he is better than what we had, and that curve ball was real nice, but it seems a bit early to conclude much more than that.

Ah, the pitcher of ice cold water has arrived. Sell your TV, and simply rely on data.

You pitch against the ones they send up.  Yeah, the Mariners aren't good but you still have to get them out.

Really, you took my comment as some reliance on data, and not my eyes?  Maybe your TV showed you the next CFM.   My TV showed a good outing against a bad club.

Whatever. You and your data should not watch tonight.

I plan on watching tonight, with my data hanging out in full view.
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.
