Guest BallTMore Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 It's sad. He doesn't throw hard, and he keeps leaving the ball up in the middle of the plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REEDPIXOFF Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 It's sad. He doesn't throw hard, and he keeps leaving the ball up in the middle of the plate. When has he thrown the ball across the plate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cravnravn Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 When has he thrown the ball across the plate? Last night, then the ball was gracefully placed into the gap for a double. This guy is horrible, you could see this coming after 3 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc. Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 The signing didn't bother me. In fact, I applauded the signing. And I can't deny that. But what I didn't really like was that in the first week of camp, Trembley announced Gonzalez was closing - no competition, nothing. Now, I don't know that anyone pitched well enough this Spring to take the job from Gonzalez - who also pitched like shit all spring. But I do know that Gonzalez looked awful this spring and many reported was not only missing the plate (a standard problem for him) but that his velocity was down 5-10MPH. How the hell can a guy lose 5-10MPH and have NO ONE concerned? That's unbelievable to me. 4/4 in 1 run games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForceEight Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Because he said that he'd been working on the changeup all spring; he wasn't concerned with the velocity and thought it would be there for the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc. Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Except that, as Schmuck points out today, scouts from across the league were in O's camp and consistently convinced he had to be pitching hurt. Millwood looked like crap - and there were good, believable reasons to write that off as standard. Gonzalez was a question mark to everyone.

They said he was in the mid 80s in ST, but then up to 95 in these few appearances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc. Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 The OPACY gun was clocking him around 92-93 yesterday... but it's also notoriously 'fast' (adds up to 5mph). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
