Seems like it's been a while since we've had a guy start using a cutter. For a while most of our young guys were converting curveballs to sliders instead

Looked like it was working ok for Giolito. He wasn't throwing curves today and his slider was electric.

I don't understand it because Giolito was supposed to have a overhanded yellowhammer but that slider he was throwing today was awesome.

Fulmer I think

He's the only person I could think of and I wasn't sure whether that was a Coop thing or not.

Doesn't Lopez have a cutter?

Smoked that ball. unlucky

Unlucky for Yonder.

Peralta got away with a meatball change up.

Nice being able to throw rondon at it too this inning. He makes nice hard contact, could swing an xbh. Let's do this eloy.

Lets do this dammit

He experimented with one last year, but he's gone to a slider now. 

I really don't want to have to use any more of our arms. Please win this now.

Rookie

No surprise 3 straight sliders to Eloy.

Well that was a terrible at bat

Eloy is going to see low and away for a long time 

Eloy is starting to look like fucking Alfonso Soriano RE: the low and away breaking ball. 

Eloy trying to impress and be the hero. He will learn

Can't lay off that pitch!

Jimenez looked VERY bad there

No need to throw Eloy anything close, 2 awful at bats in a row

He may have a Moncada-like rookie year this year tbh. Might not break out til next year.

They've missed some good pit he's to hit

Eloy really not giving himself a chance in too many at bats.

Yeah it's looking that way. 

Wow shotty 2nd strike
