Melissa1334 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Mar 22, 2010 -> 04:32 PM) From what I saw in the 5-6 spring games I have seen, he seems to be swinging for the fences very hard. Not sure if he is just working on his bat flip or what, but yeah, he has been swinging out of his arm sockets. shouldnt it be a concern? because correct me if im wrong, but wasnt quentin healthy the first half? i remember him playing a while and with a really low average and then he got the heal issue ?

flavum Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 (edited) Santos K's vs Aviles and Betemit He hasn't done anything to not make the team. Pretty obvious he's going north. Edited March 22, 2010 by flavum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamshack Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 QUOTE (Kalapse @ Mar 22, 2010 -> 02:51 PM) He's doing what veteran pitchers do during Spring games; he's working on his fastball. Just trying to put it where he wants to and not really worrying about getting hitters out. Greg Maddux was famous for this; he'd throw nothing but fastballs in some spring outings just trying to find his release point and develop muscle memory. He's basically throwing batting practice. Didn't Maddux play with Peavy for a half season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 QUOTE (iamshack @ Mar 22, 2010 -> 04:43 PM) Didn't Maddux play with Peavy for a half season? Almost 2 full seasons. Lucky for Jake by the time their paths crossed he was already a big league vet so he likely avoided the wrath of Maddux's urine stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're wrong. Q was healthy for about 2 weeks of the season. He started slumping, and then about a week later we heard specifics about hsi foot issue. It bothered him the whole season from there. The last game I'm convinced he was at 100%, he was hitting .302, after single-handedly destroying the Rays early in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 And here's confirmation; according to Cowley 71 of the 74 pitches Peavy threw vs KC were fastballs. THIS is just one of the many, many reasons spring stats don't mean a whole hell of a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first breaking ball he sees on April 5th will be the best he's seen in months. I do expect Kotsay to keep up his .433 batting average, however.

Yup, the Score just played a clip of Peavy saying he and Cooper decided not to show KC anything today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
