Good take Mountcastle. That was a nice curve

Yeah I mean he may be injured right now… but that’s about prediction of injury based on release point or something?  I had heard that change in release point over the course of innings pitched predicted injury.

The dude calls it the inverted w, basically he got drivelined….strider, the latest version of verlander, most  any of the latest pitchers that are going to have TJ. When their front foot lands the ball is pointed down in their hand  =‘s a late arm according to the Twitter guy. He has a good track record of predicting injuries.

Well, he did. As futile as our offense is, our pitching has ranged from decent to excellent. "You can't win if you can't score."

If anything I would have guessed the pitching would have been a bit of a letdown and the offense was going to be great.

Nice job Mountcastle. There was deceptive movement on a few of those pitches and he spotted it.

his fastball command pre-demotion was awful and he was -11 in fastball run value before his demotion.  After he was recalled it was +2.

Right, it's +1 this year. For a guy billed as being a dominant fastball pitcher, it's not very good.

Mountcastle swings at ball 4 and eeks one into right. Whatever works..

Hey you see that pitcher there?

I bet he gets hurt.

 

I'm good at predicting injuries too.

Did Ben say Mouncastle hasn't driven in a run in the last 4 series?  Wow!

[Moose Milligan]

Ced with a grounder to the right side? No way. 

[dtk9119]

So bad Mullins...

Fascinating.  Is that predictive across velocities?  Seems to me that the biggest predictor of pitching injuries is just that you throw the ball way too hard for the human body.

I don't mind them trying to bunt with Mullins. I mean, you're not going to do anything with it probably, but Mullins isn't going to get a hit swinging the bat, either, so why not?

Mullins below the Mendoaz line.

[baltfan]

At least Mullins has started running again.

Cedric is in the stealing mood tonight.
