In the grand scheme bugs bunny would be proud.

I was watching the Rays broadcast this game and their announcers were commenting on Chaz Roe licking his fingers before each pitch. The one announcer said you know whats coming by how many licks he does before the pitch. He said, "2 licks its gonna be a curve" and sure enough it was. Its just a small sample size but the camera zoomed in on the licks for the last 3 pitches and the announcer called it right on each of them.

2 licks = offspeed.

4 licks = Heater

Anybody noticed a pattern or even thot to look for it?

Why would he be throwing a curve when he has that wicked slider?

If he is telegraphing to that extent I am shocked he can get anyone out.

Maybe he needs to hide his licks.

Would someone please tell him before his next outing?

I am sure one the folks that lurk here for talking points will let him know.

Under his jersey I suspect he's got a sleeveless jean jacket on.

Yes, but only 3 licks to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop.

Isn't he licking his fingers before MW/Caleb is calling the pitches? Unless he is calling them off every pitch

I'm not going to lie, I've been calling him The "Lickapotamus" for some time now. It's gross. I'll look for the pattern now that someone brought it up, but between the hair, unshaven fair, and the licking I just hope they don't do closeups when he's on the mound.
