Caught by 3rd baseman but it bounced a good fifty feet in the air off his head. He appears to be ok but was removed. Sigh... Expand Man, we can’t catch a break. Hope he’s okay. He was dealing.

I'm assuming when he fully ramps up his velo will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Cease has lost his command in the 4th. To me, he loses his rhythm big time out of the stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Also before anyone freaks out about Cease's numbers today, he's clearly working on his change up. They are having him throw it in weird counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) He sat 97-98 in a 1-2-3 first inning. I'm assuming that Fegan tweet is about Rodon and NOT Dunning?

caulfield12 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Well, that's weird because FanGraphs has his highest velocity this year at 96.8 or something like that...it was Covey's best overall velocity in a start over the last two years, other than a weird anomaly in his 6th start last year where his velocity was 2-3 MPH higher than most of his other starts.
