re: Is Jason Kelly legit?

I agree that we didn't have a Alex Lange, Aaron Nola, or Kevin Gausman on this team

They didn’t even have anything close to those 2 or a Louis Coleman, Landon Marceaux, or anyone else resembling a true weekend SEC starter except one for a shitty bottom half team.

Reyzelman has plenty of stuff. He just needed to develop of second pitch.

you do realize that is the opposite of “having stuff”.

That's the pitching coaches job.

have you ever been a coach? You help the player through watching them and helping him understand the things HE needs to do to improve. ULTIMATELY, it is up to him both physically AND mentally! Jason Kelly is NOT a psychologist. He can however recommend pulling him when he has lost his command regardless of pitch count.

What the frick do you think that the pitching coach is telling the catcher to tell the pitcher? Or what he says directly during mound visits? “Hey, look at that hot chick in section 215 6 rows up”?

He is out there to slow him down and try to help him refocus on his delivery and all of the other little things with the batter he is facing.

The pitcher has to execute. If he doesn’t, the next visit usually gets him yanked.
