used to throw weird, now trying to make guys better at pitching

Please disregard the first pitch, I slipped. Otherwise, have arm, will pitch (or something like that), please tell your friends, tell your enemies, I’ll pitch anywhere any time

Before gambling apps were legal in New York, I found out an acquaintance had gone out of his way to put a bet in on the LLWS and it was generally agreed that was the sign he was developing a problem.
LLWS USA champ: California +200 Texas +250 Jersey +500 Bama +550 Iowa +650 Massachusetts +750 Pennsylvania +1000 Nevada +1200 Ohio +1600 Washington +2500 Cali getting the early love from the bettors.

2027 RHP Thomas LoBello (School of the Future) FB: 90-92 T93 CT: 85-87 Quick inning of work for LoBello as he works a zero in under 10 pitches. Deliberate mechanics with a bulldog mentality. #LeidermanCup

#SDSU commit Thomas Lobello (‘27, NY) was sharp this morning punching out 13 thru 6 innings of work. FB sat in upper 80s (T90) paired w/ a SL in the upper 70s. Athletic mover, SL was go to pitch to create whiffs. #NEPreQual @PG_Scouting

I am overjoyed that I now have something I can send to my friend who is a talented songwriter/musician that will inspire the same amount of anger in him as the “I could luck into a home run” tweet does for me
I honestly judge all 60s rock bands based on whether i think i could write their best song Beatles- no Beach boys- no Zombies- maybe VU- it’s nuanced Pink floyd- it’s nuanced Kinks- yes Stones- yes Stooges- yes Dylan- wouldnt want to Grateful dead- wouldnt want to

Young man is going to be quite good, even if it is difficult to tell at this distance

Last year my shoulder wasn’t recovering between outings. We kinda did our best, didn’t do much imaging, and it eventually “resolved” itself enough I could continue throwing. This year it returned, and the Mets instantly flew me across the country for intensive tests and images and diagnosed the problem - arterial TOS. 95% of the blood meant to flow down into my arm was being stopped at the shoulder. It’s now completely fixed and my shoulder has never felt better. But for being so diligent the Mets will get dinged on this chart for having more IL days compared to if we just nursed it along well enough to get by. As Eno covers in this article, there’s a million ways to interpret this data, and there’s so many factors it’s hard to really draw much from it.
Major league injury days lost are a fraction compared to what's going on in the minors, of course, since there are so many more minor leaguers. But some teams rise to the top however you look at the injury list data. What's going on with the Yankees, Mets, and Orioles?

I want it on the record that two years ago in Laredo I told you that everything you said about how you felt after you threw sounded a lot like TOS

Excited to the close out the regular season with my first no hitter of the year and grateful for my team for having my back! First time I had 21ks in a game. Finished the year with 85 strikeouts in 32 innings pitched. @ShowTime_Select @FlatgroundApp @BUncommitted

To me, that’s preposterous.

"Major League Baseball relievers" is the strangest group of people on Earth. We need an entire subset of anthropology just to study them

Jesus Luzardo altered the grip on his changeup. It's 1.5 mph slower w/ 7" more drop. He killed ~300 rpm on the pitch by moving his middle finger over and rotating the ball's orientation. SwgStrk, chase & whiff on the pitch are all up vs righties compared to 2025. #Phillies

efficiency down from like 99% to 85%, yep

Would imagine the efficiency drop is more related to the overall drop, given the fastball is down as well? And then the 1-seam orientation takes it the rest of the way, possibly some cue about finger pressure or release
