Really good analysis in here about what's going on with Burrows. 9 degrees lower of an arm angle is a major change and even if shapes stay the same, pitches behave differently. Don't know if the Astros lab tried to concoct more VAA from his FB, don't like it one bit.
Spencer Arrighetti won American League Pitcher of the Month in May. He allowed three earned runs across 29 innings and limited opponents to a .165 batting average. Arrighetti's first start of June is tonight against Paul Skenes.
