    • I'm not trying to put to much weight to his 2018 performance but I do think it is fair to say that the uptick in velocity was pretty key to his success.  I think fans tend to undervalue velocity, maybe they find the idea of a crafty guy painting the corners as being more appealing? 
    • I get they had to get him out of the Monday-Sunday slot Suarez now has so as not to miss the Yankees series, but I do kind of wish they pushed him up to Sunday in Kansas City. Much of his career has been Sigbot regulated how much an Arm as strong as his is allowed to throw, and so far the broad health results are favorable. Flimsy command is I believe helped more pitching more, or at least those were the kind of things I remember people like Scott McGregor saying about why they preferred the 4-man rotation when that practice was dying out and I was a young child. This fork in the calendar path does slot him to Yankees Game 1, and leaves the door cracked for Bradish in Game 4 next Thursday afternoon.
    • A lot.  The first part of last year and this is what happens when he doesn't.
    • I see nothing wrong with this. He made an adjustment and put it in play.  Sometimes that happens when you are fooled.  
    • Is it possible you are ascribing too much significance to his FB velocity? I suspect there were many things about the way Means pitching immediately prior to his injury that led to his success. His FB velocity likely contributed but was unlikely the dominant factor.
