legacyofCangelosi Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 How many ER? Also does this count against his spring record since it was against a single A team? its possible he used this outing to try some new things out. Not sure if we need to be that concerned.

ER pretty irrelevant really. Point is one of his biggest problems in his career, control, is rearing it's ugly head about 9 days before opening day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pollythewog Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 ahh good to know. Yeah his change is terrible (why I always refer to him as a 2 pitch pitcher) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacyofCangelosi Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Yea that's what I was inquiring about as well. He was using this game to try something new. Apparently we won't be seeing the change much. He is a 2 pitch pitcher at this point. Unless he changed the way he throws the fastball as reported earlier and now the old fastball is more of cutter with the new one more of a 4 seamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to be throwing more than 3 a game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legacyofCangelosi Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 He can modify his two pitches though. Like smoltz used to do with his slider. He threw about three different types of sliders so technically his slider was more than just one pitch. A guy like cosart can do different things with his fastball if he learns how with some good coaching. He can have a hard sinking fastball, a cut fastball etc. but I do agree 2 pitches is not enough to be a good major league starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Vince0926 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Sounds like it's July already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Cosart says he was working on things that he didn't wanna work on facing major leaguers. He said he threw some fastballs the first inning and then was working on his other pitches in groups. He says he was throwing four or five changeups in a row, and then four or five breaking balls in a row and so on to work on each pitch. Nieves is making it sound like the day was a good day for whatever they were trying to do. Take it as you will but that's what they're saying.

Erick Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Cosart probably just made a bet that our A team would win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmo Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Yeah I don't mind him using a game to work on his other pitches. Hell, give him a few more games... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
