Look at Ray Ray Run

https://www.si.com/mlb/2019/04/20/tim-anderson-white-sox-improving-vs-sliders-video Looking at those gifs, the writer actually does a nice job describing the major change but the two things to look at are his hands (and his trigger) and his front foot. Because he keeps his front foot in the air, he keeps his hands back which gives his bat more time in the zone with the ball. But with his old load and trigger, anderson would be late on everything if he waited until the ball was coming to put his front foot down. If you look at the first two gifs, his load starts higher, drops lower and then he brings his hands back before forward. His hands are so good that when he got his foot down fast he could get them to the zone but he was off balance, and all the power was shifted to his hands and wrists only. With his load and trigger this year, he starts his hands higher and only drops them to his shoulder level and then instead of pulling them back, he simply finishes his bat wiggle to get his hands in position on rhythm and then hes straight to the ball. Shorter and quicker and he has the power of his lower body waiting back on off speed stuff and his hands are quick enough to turn on anything fast. Those may look like subtle changes but they can mean everything for timing.

Yes.

It's not the same word. My goodness. And it's used it to decrease the significance of it.

You said black people shouldn't be allowed to say it. You dont understand that you're not in a position to make that decision.

This just isnt true my man. Just because you dont understand the difference doesnt mean you should subject them to your train of thought.

By the way, this has been pointed out by those close to Tim but... don't forget where Tim Anderson is from. Tuscaloosa. I'd imagine Tim heard his fair share of the n-word playing as a kid. People have implied such but that's just another angle to this which exemplifies even more why it's ok for Tim imo.

And the gays... amirite? I've for a free front row seat for pride day at the ballpark if you're interested!

Is this a serious post?

Capra has no idea what hes doing.

Cordell is a heck of an athlete.

Everyone loves miggy.

The obsession with velocity is odd. Carlos is having a great year with the heavy slider game plan since he has three sliders and people are ripping cooper lol.

Seems Corbin is doing just fine. When you have an 80 pitch, you should throw it. The concern is health but if his profile stays like this and he stays healthy he's a #1. He's been nearly as exciting as yoan in terms of development this year.

Billy Pierce was my old man's little league coach.

lol the smirk
