fathom Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Good changeup. I actually like Vazquez's changeup better than his hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ May 23, 2006 -> 07:28 PM) I haven't called him "Hanging Slider" Sarloos for nothing these last few years. Seriously, every game I've seen him pitch he's hanging sliders left and right. Last year in Oakland--when he pitched well against our lineup--Hawk must have said "Had a good pitch to hit and missed it" atleast 15 times. He's one of the those pitchers you have no idea how he succeeds. Yeah, keep the ball down and Sarloos is fine. But even raise his slider belt-high and above he's toast. Has to be on his game every start. GET IN THE CHAT YOU!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jphat007 Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 23, 2006 -> 06:31 PM) Maybe you could use a real stat like WHIP, ERA+, OPSA+ or SO? OBA and OPSA are just going to start repeating the same s***. I was just using waht was right there together. It gives a good enough snapshot. That's all I wanted. Really I only cared about IP, ERA, record and baa. THe other stuff was just extra. This isn't supposed to be a scientific study or anything.
