Can anyone else read Mychal Givens easily?

Without looking at Matt's signals, I was able to guess what pitch he was throwing 100% of the time. He has a slight hesitation when he comes set when he throws a slider. With the fastball he hardly pauses at all. I hope I'm wrong because this kid has a dynamite arm.

I'd go ahead and forward that information to the team if you are that sure about it.

Hard to tell if you are trolling or not. But I'll just assume you are.

I was being serious. You don't think the team would like to know he might be tipping pitches? I didn't see anything but I don't look real closely.

I don't know how a pitcher with as unusual a delivery as he has manages to throw in the mid 90's.

Some guy named Johnson was pretty fast.

What is weird to me with Givens is how he manages to stay on top of the ball with that delivery.

My apologies then. I wouldn't know where to begin to talk to someone that will listen to a fan. I'll keep an eye on it.

Read it? I can't even pronounce it!

I like to think teams keep a close eye on stuff like this and could notice it quickly, but that doesn't always seem to be the case.

Probably shouldn't over-use him on opening day. C'mon Buck.

He went 2 innings pretty often in the minors last year. 35 games, 57 IP.

Definitely paused on that slider to Plouffe and Plouffe was sitting on it

I didn't get to see atbat vs Rosario.

Park K doesn't count b/c he'll mix it up with runners on base.

That was an awful hung slider. It just spun.

If you continue to see a tipped pitch and report it, can you keep us posted on what response you get? I'd be curious.
