I remember being told in college that we practice on a mound and the ground is flat lol. Like what? Everyone plays catch on flat ground everyday guy Because they are stupid.

How is any pitch better than that? It has destroyed his command Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 2 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: Because in his two most dominant seasons he basically never threw it. He was 94-95% sinkers since it's a completely dominant pitch. 2017-18 he threw the slider 18% of the time and he wasn't nearly as good. His ratio this year is similar to 2018 instead of 2019-20 when he was dominant. I don’t think it’s dumb for a pitcher to attempt to add another weapon, especially when said pitch has been very good this year. You seem to be blaming the slider for lackluster results from the sinker and I guess I don’t see the correlation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britton never threw a secondary in his heyday. Bummer sinker is similar. Edited April 24, 2021 by Look at Ray Ray Run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shades of that amazingly awful post one time about how Jason emasculated himself by talking about/to player's wives. There's a difference between teamwork and a guy clearly needing to defer to his colleague on everything and get shown up by him. And I don't recall ever saying anything about him saying anything to or about anyone's wives. It's not surprising? Um ,OK? Is anyone's posting tendency "surprising?"

With all due respect, just enjoy Bennetti and Stoney. They are very very good and we are spoiled. Sox announcers have always been outstanding.
