Have you ever seen a pitcher regress as much as Blake has? You almost want to feel for the guy, but then he gives up another HR and you stop caring.

He’s a bullpen one inning arm at best.

He likes to give up the HR for sure. He is just average unfortunately we have few options for middle relief.

hw wasn’t great last year with his Cowboy hat self. When competition ramped up, he showed what he was.

Don't know what he's got going on but his second mid week game outing that he's got roped off of.

People keep saying regress, but when was he good? He zero movement on fastball, and his problem is his mental mindset.

huh? He is better than before. That first season was awful. And he was our Friday guy. It is a miracle we won as many games as we did.

If you are going to throw 88-93 in big boy baseball, you better have a curve ball/slider as your best pitches and be able to locate with pin point accuracy.

If you are going to throw 93-97 in big boy baseball, you better have something else as a secondary, to keep hitters off balance.

If you throw 98+, just get it across the plate. Add a decent offspeed to that mix, and you get Skenes.



Money has none of that. He's just not that good, and he never really was. Same can be said for Helmers. They were products of being on a pretty terrible staff. Throw them out there for enough starts, and you are bound to run into a few teams who just don't hit well on that particular day. The rant is hanging on to those few moments, and thinking he is something he never was.

His velocity is down but he doesn’t have any good off speed pitches that he can throw with confidence either. His best pitch is a 4 seam FB that has no run. Basically a flat pitch. Then he has trouble locating that one pitch and it will float up in zone occasionally. That’s why he walks a guy here or there and then gives up a homer. He just hasn’t progressed from HS.

I don't think he's regressed, he's just not good.

He was mediocre his freshman year and started out pretty solid last year until he hurt his wrist or whatever it was. Seems it’s been downhill from there but maybe he just doesn’t have it.

This team is full of record streaks…

Dylan hits per game
Skenes Ks per inning
Money HRs per appearance
