He WAS. Hes not now. He's trying to match arm slot and tempo. Obviously its a work in progress. I heard this from a friend who seemed to know what hes talking about. But he could be full of shit

He was a guy who loved his fastball velocity so he overthrew it and hitters knew it. They are trying to reteach him how to pitch. Its a long season and I am not sure we get any benefit from sending him down. Let him work it against the good hitters.

Bad starting pitching, bad bullpen, dead offense. Yep it all checks out.

Yes. But also that slimeball is going to flip really easily. I dont think he wants jail time for a guy that barely pays him.

He is having trouble with consistency and command while trying to not telegraph every pitch. No harm in keeping him up for now. We arent competing for anything. I believe he can work it out.

Im not concerned. #1 its been freezing. #2 they are trying to get him to stop overthrowing his fastball because he telegraphs his pitches. They want them all from same arm slot with same effort. His stuff is still awesome.

I think they just suck

Man we are terrible.

Jerry Brown is trying to back out of the National Guard at the Border, but the people of the State are not happy. Want Security & Safety NOW! It’s almost like he’s talking about an outbreak of the Bubonic plague and not human beings...how about the breeding of Ivanka, Donald Jr., Eric and Barron through our immigration process, leading to even more grandchildren (aka American citizens )? 7 total grandkids. "Breeding Concept" is a straight up white supremacy talking point.

Laces count. That call is bulls***.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Apr 12, 2018 -> 07:31 PM) Nice heads up play. And nice to have a screw up go in our favor for once Its rare for sure

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 12, 2018 -> 07:21 PM) I never thought he'd return to the old Avi. Spot on Greg

QUOTE (daggins @ Apr 12, 2018 -> 07:20 PM) Here's every Avi at bat: Pitch 1: Fastball taken for a strike Pitch 2: Slider out of the zone, swinging strike (add some amount of foul balls/draws) Pitch N: Ground out weakly to the left side Last year he changed and the first few games this year. And now hes back to old avi

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 12, 2018 -> 06:57 PM) Hate John O’Korn even more. Tarik Black getting hurt ruined anything Yeah, JOC sucks. You guys have two future elite WR's (DPJ and Black), but who can protect and who can get them the ball. Thats the entire 2018 season. If that happens they are dangerous as hell. The defense will always be good.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 12, 2018 -> 06:42 PM) The amazon series? I have 2 left. What a clusterf*** of a season Not sure 8-5 was what they were envisioning when they booked it. But very interesting either way

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 12, 2018 -> 09:05 AM) I'm halfway through it. Heard the director in an interview say that it was originally like 3 hours but HBO wanted it at 90 mins at the most. I would have watched 3 hours. Have you watched the Michigan doc yet?

QUOTE (bjm676 @ Apr 12, 2018 -> 04:13 PM) Yes, this place is the best. It's hard to get motivated after coming home from work, but I love going. It's a good stress reliever. Been there for 2 years and counting. I find it gives me energy. Massive endorphins.

Caught Andre the Giant in my hotel last night randomly. I felt like they could have done more. But overall it was good.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 9, 2018 -> 10:30 AM) Just saw that CJ Walker is transferring from Florida State to Ohio State. Got to see the kid in high school. Should be a really good Big 10 guard. We need dudes. Holtman followed that up with a 5 star recruit so he is rolling.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 7, 2018 -> 12:31 PM) Nah, think bigger. Restaurants arent usually point of breach. Some are, but its usually much bigger Maybe. But I know for a fact that there is a network of servers that scan and sell card numbers. Its super easy and fast. They can either just take a pic or use one of those attachments. Its super easy

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 11, 2018 -> 09:04 AM) Haven't really been able to exercise much since my daughter was born last summer, so I signed up for a gym two weeks ago so I can exercise on my lunch break. Problem is I have no idea what I'm really doing. Anyone have a good weight lifting routine they can recommend? Plan on going 4 days a week or so, 30-45 minutes at a time. Gym has a pretty decent range of machines and free weights. I can get you access to some of the P90 or insanity vids for your phone. I used to do that at a local gym in a secluded corner. They have 30 min workouts

Our pitching cannot continue to be terrible. I also think one or two pen guys become valuable chips and are flipped for prospects. We finish a solid 4th place in the central but hit a billion homers.

Troll bait is good this time of year

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 10:57 AM) Does anyone believe that Mike Pence is going to South America instead of Donald Trump because of Syria? I didnt even see that yet. Wish I had more background.
