Look, I'm fully aware Vazquez was worse than warm dog crap for the first 2 months, but the last month and change he has actually been a good hitter, And has had plenty of clutch hits. So, some credit is due to Vazquez of late.
Anyone else think it should be borderline illegal for a dude to be able to throw a cutter at 100 that moves that much, with pin point accuracy? Man, Clase is just filthy.
This is kind of mean, but I hope Fat Naylor hurt himself hitting that homerun. Also, the Twins have given this guy pitching way too many gifts with the GIDPs, he should have given up at least 3 or 4 runs.
Whatever the reason is for it, Duran needs to figure out where the 3 MPH worth of his average fastball went, as well as the command of these pitches. Healthy 26 year olds don't lose 3 MPH on their fastball in a few month span.
That extra jab step that Lewis does prior to the pitch, seems like pitchers would easily be able to **** with him if they vary their timing to the plate. Seems out front a lot lately and wants to pull everything.
