Invisible bats so far today. Lots of misses on that hanging slider.

 

I don't think it's as bad as you think. The way it moves on screen is not necessarily indicative of how deceptive it is. I am guessing it's a pretty damn good pitch since we aren't seeing the spin on it all and many of the guys missing it are good breaking ball hitters. There is a point where too much break on a slider hurts the effectiveness since it differentiates itself from the fastball too much.

Well, Hawk and Stone are saying they have no idea how the hitters are missing it either.
