caulfield12 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Well, you'd think Geo would be familiar enough with his stuff to know what are his "go to" pitches. At any rate, that game where Gomez had about 10 RBI's for the Twins and beat Jenks at the end in late 2008 still rankles (I think it was the culmination of a sweep, and season was tottering on the brink at that point). #twinsnightmare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feeky Magee Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 QUOTE (fathom @ May 11, 2015 -> 05:38 PM) Not sure what the stats show, but when I watched him on the Cubs, he dominated when it was just fastballs and then splitters. His slider has always been a mediocre pitch it seems. Stats show the slider as being his best pitch, but it's rated poorly this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that big KW/Hahn imparting their executive skills session was critically important, lol. Would give up eating pizza for one month to get my hands on that recording...

Well according to the data, he only started throwing the splitter in 2012 and since then it's been almost as good as his slider on a per 100 pitches basis (0.95 runs above average compared to 1.03). He just hasn't thrown it as much so the slider's been a good bit more valuable overall. Though as I said the stats don't like his slider this year so far.

caulfield12 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Why don't we have any guys like Matt Carpenter....extreme fatigue syndrome....shows up 7 hours before every game, strenuous workouts/exercise regimen, etc. The last really hard worker was Pierre. Eaton and Abreu are the closest, I guess. Maybe Adam's just been too overwhelmed by the new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramirez messed up a routine grounder that put runners on 1st and 3rd....contributed to that big inning, although probably not as much as the hanging slider.
