Yeah he's finally gotten away from pitching to contact like they kept telling him to do in Pittsburgh. Also a Cole owner, and also very relieved so far this year. A 1-2 of Thor and Cole has been money so far.

Not as painful as listening to Tabby... and then Barker on TV I bet Tabler is nothing like that in person either. ..he's probably a foul mouth muther f***er who'd knock you the f*** out and then take your woman home, give her a dirty sanchez then send her home in an Uber. Barker... yeah he's probably just like he is on TV. Clueless

My god Barker,..STFU "That's the first run they've earned this season" This is the kind of commentary we are subject to....

Pretty good likeness actually.

Grandy was close to interference there, his bat almost hit that ball

Both raking so far.

Never been happier for Clevinger to s*** on my fantasy stats

God f***ing Dammit

It would be easy to do, just hold Travis out tomorrow against Kluber and the rest schedules itself. If you dont start the stagger now, the only way it would ever happen is due to injury to one of them

yeah there's a lot of ifs, and depends ons for the change to be successful, but the most common ingredient is the velo difference, which enables the other factors to be nastier.

I got Friday. I was supposed to start the Baltimore series until King usurped me

Here's a good recent-ish article on the changeup https://elitebaseballperformance.com/modern-changeup-best-new-pitch-baseball/

Wish he'd mix that curve in a bit more

Exactly. 10.

All correct, however the single biggest factor of a changeup being effective is velocity difference from the fastball. The best changeups are usually 10 mph slower than a pitchers fastball. This is the case with Marco. So while it doesn't matter how hard the fastball is... it matters how much slower the changeup is. The more separation, the better

Yep. Him missing all of 2016 while defecting really hampered him last year

Victor Robles f***ed up his elbow ... hope it's not serious https://www.milb.com/milb/news/washington-nationals-victor-robles-has-hyperextended-elbow/c-271714336?tcid=tw_article_271714336

True to a point and I'm certainly no economist, it just seems to me that the poverty class in capitalist economies are much larger than they should be

If only this superfast and booming economy actually benefitted anyone other than the rich. Household debt is still enormous and 15% of people live under the poverty line. That's not exactly good.

As much as I love lists of arbitrary cutoffs, Colome wasn't even a closer in 2015 and gathered 85 saves in 2 seasons, Britton was hurt nearly all of 2017, and Robertson wasn't a full time closer either. Allen is the only real comparable. Oh.. and saves are stupid.
