April 25, 20178 yr That's always the problem with Putnam. Just doesn't seem like that elbow will ever hold up. He's great when healthy, but that just doesn't happen.

April 25, 20178 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 25, 2017 -> 04:04 PM) His mechanics are bad. It hurts my arm when I see him pitch. I don't think the mechanics are too bad. He short arms a little and hs the lack of followthrough that i really dislike but overall not bad.
April 26, 20178 yr Can't count on a guy who can't stay healthy. Four Sox pitchers now on the DL. Mark
April 26, 20178 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 25, 2017 -> 07:46 PM) Beck has been a very boring and uninspiring pitcher but he's looked a bit different this year. Velo is up and slider is sharper. I wouldn't hitch my wagon to him having success but I like his changes this time around more than I've liked any other. I assume this was written BEFORE the 9th inning tonight? Mark
April 26, 20178 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 25, 2017 -> 11:40 PM) He is throwing the ball harder this year and like I said, I wouldn't watch my wagon to him having success Wagon watching doesn't sound too fun

June 1, 20178 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 1, 2017 -> 01:53 PM) Beck is 18/5 K/BB in 19 innings with a 2.84 ERA and a 17.6 HR/FB%. Sox shining some turds this year. And he has gotten some heavy usage too. I have been impressed so far this year.

June 1, 20178 yr Didn't he increase his velo? Wouldn't be the first bullpen pitcher to suddenly find success.
