Harold's Leg Lift

Someone needs to get Benetti a rag. I think he just made a mess in his pants.

He loses velo out of the stretch. Ha

Lets see a spinner!

He's a ground ball machine!

Jail break and Lindor really got down the line.

The weaker he hits it the better the result.

This won't be a great undertaking like it was for Giolito because he changed his arm swing. Cease's arm swing is fine so there's no reason to make a radical adjustment. It's his delivery that's messed up. All he has to do is change his tempo to add some rhythm and timing to his delivery and he'll be fine. Cease is certainly athletic enough to make it an easy adjustment.

Oh boy would this be fun. The Angels are in desperate need of new leadership as Billy Eppler just hasn't gotten the job done. The Angels have some pretty good prospects for Dombrowski to trade (Adell, Marsh, Adams, Detmers) but the system falls off a cliff after them and they're still saddled with terrible contracts to Pujols and Upton. It's too bad Ohtani is having such a down year because if he can't pich anymore he could be a good trade candidate. This might be Dombo's toughest reclamation project yet and I can't wait to see how it unfolds.

dumb

You might want to look again. Here are some things to look for: 1. Does he have the frame/athleticism to handle a starters work load? Check 2. Does he have an easy repeatable delivery? Check 3. Does he have a chance for three avg/above avg pitches? Check 4. Does he have a chance for at least avg command of those three pitches? Check This guys a starter all day long.

Ha he probably would. Son let me tell you about the cuttuh......

That funky bastard is fun to watch pitch.

Actually it means bicep.

He should walk to the plate with the approach to get jammed. The weaker he hits the ball the better the result.

How shallow were they playing him. That ball didn't reach the warning track and the RF ran a mile for it.

He's a starter. Full stop.

It doesn't look like going exclusively from the stretch is the answer to Cease's control problems. Someone is going to have to do some actual coaching.

I want him to fix his delivery but not by abandoning it and going exclusively from the stretch.

Why is Cease working from the stretch. I don't like that.

Where ya goin lil fella. Should have tried to tag up there. If it drops you score anyway.

This guy should come hang out in a Soxtalk game thread.

That's my MVP.

That's my MVP.

Ok. Tell them and the rest of baseball that.

It looks like a fastball out of his hand. Ya know they don't have a lot of time to react.
