Saw him Sunday in Columbus. He was very good (I think 4 Ks in 2 perfect IP). His fastball was merely 90-92, but his delivery has a little quirk to it to give him some deception. I think all his Ks came on his off speed pitch. Couldn’t tell if it was a change or a slider or a little of each, but it was nasty.

According to fangraphs.com, Lewis’ FB is at 89.5, between 88.7 last year and 90.1 the year before.

So he’s spent the last three years searching for a good NPR station?

Yeah, his fastball is somewhere between college radio and Christian rock.

I want a pitcher with a classic rock fastball.
by FredOx on Aug 6, 2009 9:47 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
is it too much to hope we might someday get a pitcher with an alt-rock fastball?

That would be The End of the world as we know it.

Didn’t we have one with a Megadeth fastball? Or was that just a holocene slaughter?

I need a pitcher that don’t drive me crazy.
Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Yeah, it did remind me of JLew, but its more of a short arm delivery than a weird hitchy, jerky arms and legs thing.

Except Todd can throw a cut fastball which is a tough pitch out of the bullpen

Don’t look to close, you might get hurt.
Now is there really any evidence that closers get hurt more often than other relievers?

Should have been a reply to wd. Quote from the last link.

There’s a sea of relief opportunities.. and only he can make something of them.

Goodbye Veras, I’ll never forget that one time you pitched two consecutive innings without giving up a run. ::wipes tear away::

I wondered if they thought about stretching him out. He did get two innings in Columbus when I was there Sunday. The Cardinals AAA team used him as their closer, but Greg Aquino has that role locked up for the Clippers.
by Ryan Kelsey on Aug 5, 2009 11:24 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Tony Lastoria said they stretched him out because they’ll use him as a middle reliever for now and he might have to pitch multiple innings. My guess is he’ll be a late inning reliever eventually (2010 probably).

OT: This led me to Castro’s twitter, of course. He follows 4 people: 3 Indians insiders and Bruce Springsteen.

Ha ha, this will be our year to pick up a hidden gem in the Rule 5 draft! We can sacrifice a spot on the 2010 roster.
And yes, I know about the recent rule changes. This is a chance to restore the genius label.

What has happened to LGT? I leave for two weeks and you guys are convinced that Lee and Victor are (likely) to get traded.
Not happening. I’ll make an avatar bet with anyone about this.
His own fault.

Take home message, never engage in an avatar bet with Nick when Mariah is on the line.

Well, at least he went down based on optimism. And he looks better now.

The good news is that we have a nice backlog of embarrassing avatars for anyone else that gets chippy.

Speaking of avatars, love the Jay Mariotti. How very appropriate that his mouth is wide open.
by Buckeye Brad on Aug 5, 2009 11:24 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Someone, I forget who or in what thread, put him side-by-side with my old avatar. They bare a striking resemblance, but I think Mariotti is worse than Turkmenbashi.

If I lose an avatar bet I expect the victor (heh) to come with something original.
