CoastieMike Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Latos fastball already seems like it's flattened out, first inning it had good movement, now it's straight as an arrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyggyMarlin Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Is anyone else latos-intolerant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 No.....it's not It is. 95 is very possible on a cutter. If a slider can go 91, a cutter can go 95. Cutters are thrown more straight [y'know, like a fastball is, cause that's what it is], where-as a slider is thrown off-center - still thrown with the same arm motion as a fastball, but obviously due to rotation, doesn't have the velocity.

SongInTheAir Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Watch this backfire...Let the damn pitcher hit and make an out rather than giving Barnes a second chance at a flat 3-2 Latos fastball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MittRomney Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Is anyone else latos-intolerant? The press conference when they introduced Dee, Morse & Latos should've told you. Guy had a pack of Big League Chew in his mouth. He's an infant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not. Physics don't apply in your world? I'm not trying to be a douche although I probably sound like one, but a 95 MPH cutter is physically impossible........right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackRubysDog Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 From the UK? What kind of lens do you have on that thing? I have to have an amazing zoom on my camera so when I take dick-pics my dick looks normal size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 It's not. Physics don't apply in your world? I'm not trying to be a douche although I probably sound like one, but a 95 MPH cutter is physically impossible........right now Kenley Jansen, every single pitch. He doesn't throw a four-seamer, he throws a cutter, and is consistently hitting 95. http://www.brooksbaseball.net/velo.php?player=445276&time=&startDate=03/30/2007&endDate=06/13/2015&s_type=2 Here you go. Look at "Cutter" average velocity. Not always 95, no, but he consistently hits 95 with his cutter [and even higher with his sinker!], has some months where he AVERAGED 95 and 94. I pitched - I threw a four seam, cutter, two seam, curve, and change. My cutter and two seam were about the same speed, a couple mph below the four seam - if someone can throw a four seamer in the upper 90s, a cutter in the mid 90s is entirely possible. You douche.
