Article: One for the Fat Boys
Sinking Liner replied to Parker Hageman's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Someone once asked Andy MacPhail about Hrbek's weight and generally unhealthy habits, and he said some thing to the effect of, "If he'd have been the type of player to religiously work out and take care of himself, he'd have been the type of player to leave." -
An accute lesson, no doubt. Certainly its not that he may be opening his front side to early. His body definitely isn't outpacing his arm. He's not finishing too high or losing his balance somewhere along the way. Surely there's no exercises or practices that might improve his delivery, or mental tricks that might help. Nope, he's just not throwing strikes and he should know better by now. That's on him, I agree 100%. Preposterous. So you're thinking, that for all this time, Anderson, and now Cooper, just asked Liriano to please just do his best to throw strikes, and never had a word to say to him about his mechanics. That seems unbelievable. And preposterous.

Mixed messages might have messed up Liriano

It's his confidence. His lack of control makes him try to overcompensate in every other way, with (so far) disastrous results.
