Because it's a poorly constructed sentence that absolutely destroys the english language.

3 now.

Stop saying stupid s*** that doesn't make sense. I implore you.

23 strikes, 19 balls for Huff. My God.

Mike Stanton hit a single on his first MLB AB then scored a run on a Ronny Paulino double.

Beltre's in the defensive FAIL zone again.

What in the blue hell are you talking about?

Well said.

Bump! This is the one signing that has made me look like an idiot.
-
I remember reading before Sunday's game that Cameron swore he'd "Steer clear of Beltre as much as possible". I lol'd.
-
And how does that contradict what i initially said?

You were the first to come out with "HE'S OK, I'M MORE CONCERNED ABOUT OTHER PITCHERS!!111!!!" Leave it to Y228 to turn it into a legitimate topic of discussion, jeez.
-
I literally paraphrased your first post. Anyways, nothing to be concerned about, CC will be fine.

He had an extended spring training though. I'm sticking to the theory that it's a combination of stuff and confidence. When he nibbles, bad things happen.
-
I'm not drawing conclusions, but rather pointing out anomalies: He's giving up nearly twice as many Homeruns as his career averages, and is allowing homeruns from lefty hitters as well, neither of this issues can be atributed to his early season woes, and neither can the drop in velocity and the strange pitch selection.
-
He's thrown 100+ pitches in each of his past six outings. That includes the Toronto, Philly and Oakland one, as well as the KC and NYY ones. The only back to back outings where he hasn't thrown more than 100 pitches where the first two, and in both of them he got shelled.

Take the rose-colored glasses off. Nothing good comes out of an outing where you allow eight base on balls. Dice-K's not getting paid to throw 4.2 innings. Last night was a sign of progress, the Phillies game was a sign of progress, the Toronto game was a sign of progress. That outing was a disaster.

But according to fangraphs pitchFx data, not only his fastball is affected: FB: 94.1-93.1 SL: 81.2-80.4 Two-seam: 92.2-92.5 CH: 86.4- 86.4 Cut: 78.4-78.7 CB: 78.4-78.7 He's lost velocity on his 4-seam, slider, but added velocity to his Ch, cutter, curveball and two-seam. The 4-seam and slider to me, are particularly troubling, since those are, after all, his bread and butter pitches (or used to be) since this year, he has drastically reduced the amount of sliders he throws, while drastically increasing the amount of two-seamers and cutters he throws. He may have lost the feeling for his slider, which coupled with the loss in fastball velocity could explain the inordinate amount of Homeruns he has allowed to date.

He allowed 8 Base on balls. That is downright absurd. Let's wait for some consistency for the guy before proclaiming him staff savior.
