Latos fastball already seems like it's flattened out, first inning it had good movement, now it's straight as an arrow 

 

 

Is anyone else latos-intolerant?

 

 

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

Yay it worked out

 

 

Or not.

 

Well resulted, Jennings.

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

 

Rich dropping "slash line" on the broadcast...nice.

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 

 

 

​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.

​Kenley Jansen, every single pitch. He doesn't throw a four-seamer, he throws a cutter, and is consistently hitting 95.

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.

​I meant 'normal size' as in UK size (7-9 inches) as opposed to US size (2-3 inches).

It's not.....but I apprecaite the acknowledgement of the douche part

 

 

I just gave you fucking proof.

 

Or are you trolling me at this point?

 

 

Mitt and Bender need to get to Winn Dixie.

 

 

Go get em, Mat Latos.

​I'm down.

 

 

Nice to see a terrible-looking team at Marlins Park not wearing Marlins jerseys.

 

 

I just gave you fucking proof.

You didn't prove anything. 2 guys have actually thrown a cutter....Leiter invented it & Mariano perfected it...neither could do what you're suggesting....I'm gonna bow out of this before I get accused of hijacking another game thread

 

 

Al Leiter invented the cutter? :lol

 

 

Yay big ass ballpark!

 

 

Al Leiter invented the cutter? :lol

 

I'm gonna ask the board for permission to continue this conversation, before I go any further

 

 

I'm going to tell you right now, no, you're not getting permission for that.

 

 

Are we over the Bour experiment? It was fun, but there's a reason that guy can't make a big league roster
