Concerns
Last night's game was bullshit. I haven't seen Morrow with so little velocity, ever. There is so much stuff in his stuff that he kept his boys in it, but nothing could be commanded for strikes. You could tell Molina was trying a mix of things to get something going. Anything....let's try a cutter, sinker. Sinker with cut, a cutter with sink. 2 seam, 4 seam. Split it. Curve, slurve, knuckle, slider. Circle change, maybe palm it. Can we gyro it? Knuckle it? Can we throw a big time fastball for strikes? No dice. We got nothing.
Morrow pitched the game of his life 9 days prior. 9 days is a lifetime for pitchers. It's all about routine and rhythm. If they were concerned about his arm after his super start, why not regular rest and a pitch count? Or switch around someone last week when there was an off day.
I am maybe more concerned about Jose Bautista. WTF is that on your face, dude? It better be a beard soon. We agreed on a beard. Not this weird Inigo Montoya bullshit. "My name is Jose Bautista. You dismissed my awesome power. Prepare to die."
