Tonight it's National League Cy Young Award Winner Brandon Webb versus New Orleans Zephyr Jorge Sosa. If that adds up to a thirteenth consecutive Mets win in Arizona, then maybe I'll just lie back and enjoy.
Jorge Sosa versus Brandon Webb added up to a thirteenth consecutive Mets win in Arizona.
I think I'll take my own advice.
ADDENDUM: After lying back and enjoying it, I still can't get over Sosa, who looked so bad all last year and all spring. I had read his New Orleans pitching coach tinkered with his arm slot. Is that really what it was? An arm slot? Didn't they say more or less the same thing for Aaron Heilman when he turned his career around in 2005, that Rick Peterson changed (or restored) his arm angle?
Arm slot? Arm angle? These guys get to the Majors, struggle until their jobs are in jeopardy and then it's something as simple as “hey you, move your arm this way, you'll throw more strikes”?
Wow. Who says pitching coaches don't earn their paychecks?
If you're hungry for more, check out hot dog vending at Shea through the eyes of an amateur. You'll never look at your frank the same way. (Thanks to Loge 13 for the link.)
