southsider2k5 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 http://chicago.suntimes.com/baseball/7/71/...honored-wear-42 Running on the Sox Baserunners are 8-for-8 stealing against Tyler Flowers but manager Robin Ventura said Tyler Flowers’ throwing has been fine. “There needs to be more of the pitcher having a little more effect on the guys running, varying looks and things like that,” Ventura said. “I think he’s actually throwing a little bit better than he has in the past. He had some shoulder stuff the last couple years but he looks to be throwing good. He is healthy.” Geovany Soto was in the lineup in Wedensday’s day game. Ventura likes that Soto’s veteran presence provides a trust factor with his pitch-calling skills, “which is really good for us,” he said, and probably something that wasn’t quite as strong with pitchers when rookie Adrian Nieto was the backup last year.

Kyyle23 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 help from the pitchers? Are they supposed to catch the ball on its way to center field and throw it to second for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shysocks Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Everyone knows stopping a running game is as much the pitcher's job as the catcher's. Still, while I haven't actually watched all of Flowers' throws, it seems like a few of them have been errant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 His throws have been awful for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Unless the pitchers have access to a revolutionary new PED that can't be detected through normal testing, I can't see how they can help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
