Really?

Its a great job by Tina, but I see no real difference in the two deliveries. Please xplain me Lucy!

I think it shows very minor mechanical tweaks. Chris himself talks about initial hand position. I see a load difference this year and as someone noted in the other thread. I see more drive and power. The physical comparision of the tale of two TIllmas is what I find most striking.

Front shoulder is more closed through his drive to home plate in his delivery last night and compared to year-over-year. He's left shoulder isn't flying open as his hips are rotating towards home/getting his right arm into throwing position.

Which is why you were left brokenhearted by Bikini Armstrong :D

:agree: Love to see dip's PM's to (his latest "Dulcinea", Tina)....

I'd like the AJ/Chris Davis multiple arm/elbow homerun bash - thanks!

Please get one of Buck Yelling at Jake on the mound. Thanks
When did this happen?
Found it... it was in the 4th inning after the leadoff walk. It looked like a normal conversation until Buck was leaving the pitching mound and you could definitely see some frustration, possibly an f-bomb.

Watching MASN, you can see the back of Buck's head and Arrieta's face. If, however, you use MLB.TV and watch the Angels' broadcast, they zoomed out for a trivia thing during that mound conversation and you can see the whole infield. As Buck walks out, Wieters and Andino immediately start jogging towards the mound to join them (and the rest of the infield take a few steps in as well). But then, without any visible cue from Buck, they all stopped and went back to their positions without making it halfway to the mound. Either Buck said something or they could just see it in his face.

The Angles broadcasters picked up on this immediately and called it a "chewing out" and a "bad sign when everyone stays away from the mound like that"

    • Still a lot of things to shake out this year that IMO affects this decision.   1. Is Silent J the heir apparent to RF? 2. Is Beavers taking the next step and showing as a viable starting OF? 3. Is Fabian taking the next step to be a legit 4th OF who can play all 3 positions?   I will be very surprised if Taters is on the team next year. Honestly I think that if he is it will be due to failure of the young guys to show out. Good thing for us is we have enough of them that I don’t think that will happen.
    • He said after the game that he has five pitches, and if any three of them are working on a given night, he can mix them up enough to get batters out.  
    • He’s had quite the turnaround vs. LHP on this road trip.  Hopefully it continues all year!
    • Gunnar's definitely looking like the MVP of the Orioles and looks like priority #1 to me to get an extension. Burnes age works against him, because the O's maybe don't want to go longer than 5-6 years at most, but I could be wrong there. The Witt extension kind of set the parameters of what Gunnar will probably want at minimum. 2025 25 Kansas City Royals $8,111,111     2026 26 Kansas City Royals $14,111,111     2027 27 Kansas City Royals $20,111,111     2028 28 Kansas City Royals $31,111,111     2029 29 Kansas City Royals $36,111,111     2030 30 Kansas City Royals $36,111,111     2031 31 Kansas City Royals *$35,000,000   $35M Player Option 2032 32 Kansas City Royals *$35,000,000   $35M Player Option 2033 33 Kansas City Royals *$35,000,000   $35M Player Option 2034 34 Kansas City Royals *$35,000,000   $35M Player Option 2035 35 Kansas City Royals *$33,000,000   $33M Team Option 2036 36 Kansas City Royals *$28,000,000   $28M Team Option 2037 37 Kansas City Royals *$28,000,000   $28M Team
    • It is probably thin because of the short career lifespan is for those positions, which is why there is no way Mullins should be extended.
    • Gunnar Henderson's splits through first 97 ABs of the season:   Home -- .326 / .385 / .630 Away -- .294 / .362 / .667 Vs. LH -- .324 / .395 / .622 Vs. RH -- .300 / .358 / .667
    • I don't think the point was to trash Holliday but to question the reliability of the metric. I share the question about Holliday's OAA. He hasn't been bad but I can't think of a single plus play and OAA thinks he is the best defender on the team.
