Note on Bazardo... he's increased his sinker usage by almost double compared to last year and is throwing it 35% of the time. He has reduced the use of 4-seamer by a similar margin, seemingly swapping use of the pitches.

The sinker has a positive run value of 10 and is why he's been so good.

Andres 4 seamer this year has an XSLG of .627... last year, .392.

He's got an expected BA+SLG of over 1.000 on that pitch.

It has been sitting 96-98... I wonder if he's gotta get back up over 100.

Andres gotta do some work on his fastball.

It's getting absolutely shelled.

Bazardo. Man, there was a time we would watch him pitch with our hands over our eyes. He's not the best bullpen arm ever, but you have to admire how he puts everything he has into every pitch he throws. This is going to sound crazy. But I think he has the best raw stuff of anyone in the bullpen.

As a reminder, Fangraphs thinks Bazardo is just .2 fWAR better than Legumina.

JP's 2nd half OPS has dipped to around .530...

So anyone got a problem anymore with bringing in Geno?

I don't recall anyone having a problem with that trade.

The problem was that Jerry'n'Justin didn't fix the bullpen.

Read further.

Vogeldork about had an aneurism when Geno was 1 for 10.

So anyone got a problem anymore with bringing in Geno?

Damn.

Welp, for some reason SD has decided they want to hit the baseball often this series.

Woo needs to shut them down tomorrow.

So Cole Young has already changed his batting stance.

He is now resting the bat on his shoulder instead of moving it multiple times over before he swings.

Seems odd.
