TitoMB345 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 We should work on our bullpen. It's pretty craptastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 lol we bring in out setup man to walk two guys and get the tying run to the plate. I find that comical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 You guys think I'm a moron for saying this all the time, but Nate Jones' arm delivery is awful. I only saw one other guy throw like that, Keith Foulke. I don't know how any pitching coach can allow him to pitch that way. Â Some of you guys who were pitchers ... do u agree with me?? His arm delivery is not conducive to anything positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I wonder if Jones was the closer until pretty late in spring training, and they pulled the plug on it? He looked shaky there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also started out really slow last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorStSox Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I think Jones will always be a rhythm pitcher and lose his release point frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His arm delivery is not conducive to anything positive. He's a reliever so delivery doesnt mean much to me as it gives him movement and slight deception. He lacks control which is something that is known about him. Its one reason why he was a poor option as closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorStSox Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 There's some truth to what Greg says. Jones has a high maintenance delivery that's hard to repeat. He reminds me of Brad Lidge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
