caulfield12 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 QUOTE (chw42 @ May 10, 2016 -> 12:48 PM) So why hasn't Sands been DFA'd yet? The "don't mess with a good thing/manager superstition" thing. Same reason Rollins is still in there and hitting 2nd again. There's a 50/50 chance if we lost that game a Sands move would have been made. Then again, no idea no Shuck has been doing offensively at Charlotte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 10, 2016 -> 10:38 AM) This is what I am waiting for. He needs to trust his stuff and challenge hitters more. I think he is either overthrowing the ball or trying to be to fine or maybe both. The guy has so much talent though If he was overthrowing or trying to throw it through a brick wall, you would see his FB velocity at 95-98. This version is more emulating the Sale "pitch at lower speeds with more command and contact" version. Maybe he tends to either lose his control (mechanical issue) and/or gets hesitant about throwing strikes when he gets hit around so he starts to nibble at times. Obviously, when he's getting ahead in counts and has that slider in the back of hitter's minds, he can be a nightmare for opposing teams. Of course, some pitching coaches would argue that "trying to overthrow" will lead to diminished velocity and poor/er mechanics, but I'm not 100% sure that's what he has been doing.

flavum Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I think the big cell is staying north of the stadium and there may be a quick rain. Short delay at worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Sale Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Bizarre inning, would have been nice to get 2, wouldn't complain too much with 1, loving this new trend of first-inning offense. Let's hope Rodon has his command tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
