First they blow out Merkin's elbow, then when he finally returns (and looks great) they promptly blow out the same elbow (of course they say it is a different injury!) but this time they shut him down super early and play it safe. There is no plan and no one in charge. <BR/><BR/>This would be the perfect time for a new pitching coach. (Isn't Zito's old coach still available?) This would probably be just what Matt needs, maybe a new pitch but for sure a new approach.<BR/><BR/>I nominate Tim's Dad!JC Parsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00666659454815710731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-45462468353593088402008-09-12T12:27:00.000-07:002008-09-12T12:27:00.000-07:00I am growing more and more concerned daily at the ...I am growing more and more concerned daily at the workload Matt and Tim are receiving, regardless of the results. These are both young men, Matt even younger than Tim. There is plenty of documented evidence about the strain of excessive workloads on young arms. Of course, our young men may not fit the expected norms, but then again, the risk is so much greater than the potential reward right now, and growing greater with each start that I am - fretful. Full of fret. The remarks I read in the paper from Bochy vary between "we'll keep an eye on these guys" to "we are not going to vary our rotation because, um, just because." I don't know what to make of it, but I am preparing tar and feathers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-52656030333462276362008-09-12T10:17:00.000-07:002008-09-12T10:17:00.000-07:00Thanks for the link guys, I always appreciate them...Thanks for the link guys, I always appreciate them. And I'm glad that your enjoy the plots, I'm trying not to go overboard with them but I've been plotting the data myself lately and it's like a new toy for me.<BR/><BR/>Hey Mark, I sent you an email yesterday but I can't tell if it went through. Ever get it? I'll resend if it got lost in the transition.<BR/><BR/>Cheers!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17714607098257603910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-57695244149848341942008-09-12T09:43:00.000-07:002008-09-12T09:43:00.000-07:00Those charts Chris posts on BCB are wonderful.

No highs, no lows, just a barrage of mediocre pitches, well placed.<BR/>Stats you can feel.Brother Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598578292252263393noreply@blogger.com
