More spin+better grip = more movement, more dramatic breaks.
Trevor Bauer does it, he has massive spun rate jumps...one year it jumped in 1 inning..the same inning of each start, dude was trolling Manfred now he just does it.

Hahn has always had injury problems, par for the course.

Greeny was talking about it this morning on his radio show. The MLB record for no-hitters in a season is 8 and we already have 5 and none of the big time pitchers have one yet* (*Mad Bum asterisk game not counting)

So is MLB just turning a blind eye to this stuff? Surely they have to know? You would think MLB would want more offense?

They overcorrected from last year. Also the shift is absolutely awful for baseball.

Yep the shift is the biggest problem in the sport.

Edward Olivares with another dinger, a single, and 2 walks in 4 plate appearances today. Now hitting .380 in AAA. But please, by all means, keep starting Michael A. Taylor.

I wouldn't have signed Dyson, and let Olivares have that spot. Dyson has been fine, don't get me wrong. But we aren't winning the WS. let the young guy have the spot and develop.

Dyson starts one day a week and is mainly used as a pinch runner and defensive replacement. You would rather have your prospect sit his ass on the bench most of the time in Kansas City instead of getting reps in Omaha?

Get rid of O'Hearn, put Soler back at DH okay Oliveras in right, doesn't seem difficult.

On the flip side, kind of a blessing in disguise.

Hahn isn't very good at all.

They have been using Salvy at DH more lately. That isn't a bad strategy either.
