Can I just say I love Steven Brunt's work? I am locked into anything he produces. I love how they do these so you can get to know the managers/players more.
Also - KK is dreamy.
How do you know this? The old school broadcaster is all anyone's ever known. Fans may love learning more about the modern game if anyone would ever introduce it to them.
A lot of it is the fact we're playing Detroit, but I do think this new approach of using the high fastball really works nicely with his curve/change combo. Scraped the cutter.
I pointed this out yesterday. Buck and Tabby don't follow baseball. They show up, talk about what they see, repeat old school adages, confuse casual fans and go home (and probably drink).
Buck "I wouldn't be surprised if we see one of these two - Smoak or Tellez playing on the infield"
Great insight Buck. Predicting that either Smoak or Tellez will be playing 1st base. He gets paid folks.
To be honest - that's almost impressive. I expected s*** to be all over the place wild. The fact he's pitching in the strike zone is probably a small miracle.
I suspect what he meant to say was "I like to bunt when useless hitters like Urena are up and actual major league batters are due up after them". Of course he can't say that though.
I also noticed this spring (he pitched in the TB v. TOR game I went to) that his mechanics from the windup are different from the stretch. His extension is divine though.
