This was a common joke that we used to do on WSI about 10 years ago. It started out as LAASWCUSA but it became this, the joke was to be as specific as possible about the location of Anaheim, CA. It started on WSI. I didn't even come up with it. It was a couple posters on WSI named kittle42 and voodoochile. Edited September 8 by Jack Parkman 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, might want to get him a LHP opener Dude according to you, everyone needs an opener. That's not how you develop pitchers. Why the hell doesn't he throw the change more vs. Lefties? It worked really well vs. The Indians. Edited September 8 by Jack Parkman 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You've said it about Lopez as well. You say it about any young pitcher that struggles. You said it about Giolito in 2018 too.

It wouldn’t make sense for Lopez, as he has trouble at the beginning with his velocity so the same would happen no matter when he pitches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
