southsideirish71 Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Cliff pitched great. Last year Vis threw 95-97. Now he barely hits 93. Overuse of the slider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is one of the best bargain relievers out there. Whoever said we were not gonna pick up his option for next year too is a fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2HH Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 I think it has more to do with Viz not pitching enough yet...he will get that speed back, but since he pitches once every 10 days his strength isn't returning.

Overuse of the slider? I hope that's the reason. All of the rumors that I've heard say that the majority of steroid users were relief pitchers. And Uribe makes an out on the first pitch again.

Last year, Vizcaino was throwing 95 mph and used a pretty nasty splitter in the games I saw him against the Cubs. Now, all he's throwing is that slider with an occasional 91-92 mph fastball (which he's had no control over). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine though, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 QUOTE(Y2HH @ May 11, 2005 -> 07:31 PM) Personally, I'm not any more impressed with the Twins offense than with our own. Marunaueou or however you spell his name isn't that special, hes no Frank Thomas. They are simply not folding under pressure, keeping their cool and doing what it takes to win, we are losing our cool, swinging from the heels, and f***ing up bases loaded no out opportunties GAME AFTER GAME. I just got back from school, and I hate to break it to ya, but Morneau > Konerko... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
