May 2, 200322 yr This week's BA story is on Corwin Malone ... says he's been struggling with his release point (no ... really?!?!?) ... but Malone is quoted as saying he's feeling better than he has in a while. It appears his mechanics are all screwed up.
May 2, 200322 yr It appears his mechanics are all screwed up. Pheww, thank God, I thought it was something serious
May 2, 200322 yr I gotta wonder why they leave the kid in so long. Of course, I didn't see the game, don't know if the hits were liners or bleeders, ........
May 2, 200322 yr Pheww, thank God, I thought it was something serious Write it down....... his head is as messed up as his mechanics.
May 2, 200322 yr Rex, what's the deal with malone down there? Is he getting too much advice or what? What's the deal with him working the changeup into his arsenal ... did they scrap that pitch? He's only 22 with a live arm, so there's still a lot of hope, ya just hate to see him regress ...
May 2, 200322 yr Write it down....... his head is as messed up as his mechanics. Could be much worse- he could have "no heart" or, god forbid, be in the same clubhouse as Jerry Manuel who is very, very devilish as you know.
May 2, 200322 yr He has a ton of control problems, but this is the kind of guy the Sox need to get on track. If I were them I'd send him down a level (Give him about one more start, maybe two; Don't want to give him too many so he loses any more confidence) then call up someone like Ryan Wing to replace him or an A ball reliever with Bullard moving into the rotation (If he wants to). Once in A ball, I'd send him to the pen for a full month and bring him in in more games and completely work on preaching one thing each week with his motion. He'll get shelled at times, but it will slowly put things back in place. Usually a pitcher can make 1 or 2 changes and it will make a world of difference. It could be he's flying open on his pitches or he has an inconsistent release point or he's wrapping his pitches. Not sure cause I haven't seen him other then in spring.
May 2, 200322 yr or it could be that he doesnt work hard and wants to do things his way and fights instruction................mho.........
May 2, 200322 yr or it could be that he doesnt work hard and wants to do things his way and fights instruction................mho......... With the history the Sox have had in developing their prime pitching prospects, fightng instruction may not be a bad thing.
May 2, 200322 yr Don Cooper loves Corwin Malone and has gone on record saying Malone is one of the nicest and hardest working kids he's been around.
