I have never seen a pitcher with a more blatant tell than McCullers had on his fastball last night. He was coming much higher up with his knee and hands on his off-speed pitches than he was on the fastball. I mean he wasn't even bringing his leg past 90 degrees on the fastball - it was coming up to his elbow on off-speed. As a batter, that gap between his elbow and his knee is right where you're looking anyway - it's a GIANT neon sign.
It's literally the most blatant pitch tipping possible.
But Dusty Baker, the dumbest manager I have ever seen - left him out there to die. And somehow nobody was like "uh, hey - maybe stop doing that because my grandmother can spot it and she's legally blind..."
Hey Houston - it's quite a bit easier to hit when they know if a fastball is coming. I'm not sure if you're aware of that or not...
I don't hate Houston - but man do I despise Dusty Baker. The Astros gacking this thing would be on par with the Tigers losing to that 2006 Cardinals team. It would be completely inexcusable. They are better than Philly in every possible way.
