Get home to watch Nate Jones do this...

Give it all back Nate

just go get him already

Time to pull Jones and bring in Cleto

We should work on our bullpen. It's pretty craptastic.

lol we bring in out setup man to walk two guys and get the tying run to the plate. I find that comical.

You guys think I'm a moron for saying this all the time, but Nate Jones' arm delivery is awful. I only saw one other guy throw like that, Keith Foulke. I don't know how any pitching coach can allow him to pitch that way.

 

Some of you guys who were pitchers ... do u agree with me?? His arm delivery is not conducive to anything positive.

I wonder if Jones was the closer until pretty late in spring training, and they pulled the plug on it? He looked shaky there too.

Yeah except he's been pretty damn good for the past two years...

 

Jones will be fine. Something's not right with him right now. He also started out really slow last year.

That fan you can hear on the broadcast was funny: "Get him outta there."

I wonder if the injury that shortened his spring isn't lingering. He may need more time.

I think Jones will always be a rhythm pitcher and lose his release point frequently.

No. Some guys are unique. Look at Paco Rodriguez from the Dodgers as an example and had a great year last year.

He's a reliever so delivery doesnt mean much to me as it gives him movement and slight deception. He lacks control which is something that is known about him. Its one reason why he was a poor option as closer.

There's some truth to what Greg says. Jones has a high maintenance delivery that's hard to repeat. He reminds me of Brad Lidge.

He was one of the best relievers in baseball last year. It's April 3rd. Relax.

Who wants to go watch a game in this weather? They really should make all of these teams start in the south or in domes until mid-April.

Or just, ya know, shorten the season.

Eek, a wild pitch puts them at 2nd and 3rd with nobody out. No need to bunt now.

Or that.

Colabello's hurt us twice already. Hopefully this play doesn't involve Avisail.

Cleto hitting 99

Thank you Mr. Jones.

Thanks Jones.
