Wade Miley #4

[bm1475]

I did the math. If Miley gives up 25 earned runs in his next start and lasts only one inning, then he'll have an 8.02 ERA and this prediction will have come true.

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say if this happens, Bell should be on the hot seat.

This thread was quite predictive. As this thread title predicted, Wade Miley pitched the #4 no hitter of the year in MLB.

Soft tossers are the new market inefficiency.

Chris Welsh has been preaching this his entire career. I’ve always agreed with him.

Fine, I'll start the Luis Castillo #5 thread

Exhibit B: the relative success of the two Cleveland pitchers last night.

Soft tossing LH's are preferred though. Plus these guys effectiveness really shines when it can be played off different types of hurlers in the rotation. Place a Miley in-between Castillo and a Hoffman type and it benefits them greatly, facing guys with memories of a FB diet the night before makes timing hard to grasp - if the pitcher has his touch and that's the biggest issue with soft tossing LH's, they need to have the touch, the ball has to be breaking that night or it's a HR Derby

This is important. I think it's also important to remember spin rate /= velocity, so the organizational emphasis on spin rate does not preclude soft tossers from being a part of the Reds future.

It's time they cloned Freddie Norman. They've got to have his DNA rights, don't they?

Soft-tossing lefties have been giving the Reds fits since forever.

As some of you know, Bronson Arroyo called his first game on radio last night. Heard a couple innings, and thought he was fine; much better than fine when he talked about pitching. I wonder how many broadcasters called a no-hitter in their first game. As many of you know, when Marty B called his first game, Aaron tied Ruth with 714.

He looks like Jean-Ralphio from Parks and Rec.

He looks like a meth dealer who spent too much time in an overhumidified lab

reminds me of Marty's old hairdo, ironically enough.
