The subtle differences in hand position that cause sliders to be exceptional horizontally as opposed to vertically are fascinating.
Below are four releases.
Bauer and Roe stand out horizontally.
Thornton and Duffey excel vertically. #MLB (1/5)
David Bell reflected on his late-season use of two-way player Michael Lorenzen yesterday during his #WinterMeetings press conference.
Lorenzen had 83 1/3 innings on the mound and 53 plate appearances, 36 of those PAs coming in September alone. ⚾️#Reds
Landed in San Diego. Where you at, #WinterMeetings?
I’ll have some coverage from manager press conferences during the week and more (mostly just me eating In-N-Out). Stick around. #MLB 🤙⚾️
I’d like to take this moment to recognize what a worthy opponent Taylor was. He really left it all on the field and at the end of the day, his teammates knew he gave it all.
...I win. 😈
Have spoken with 3 scouts this week and all agree we should expect both Gore and Patiño to make appearances with the #Padres at some point in 2020 with Gore viewed as first to appear. Factoring that in, you would expect Preller to lock them away. Both play vital role in rebuild.
