Can't pitch from the stretch

Not a great trait if you're a reliever. The Orioles had a reliever years ago named Don Stanhouse (Stan the Man Unusual). He hated pitching from the stretch so he'd start with a gopher ball so he could pitch from a full wind-up. ** Edited by 5thFloorLee at 4/27/2024, 4:30:43 PM ** Edited by 5thFloorLee at 4/27/2024, 5:18:50 PM

Yeah, Shoemaker is way too inconsistent to be first out of the pen…

Szefc’s explanation uaually is: “going with the match-ups”

PBHokie • 04/27/24 05:08 PM ET
He couldn’t go 5-10 more trying to get out of inning?**
hokiepro • 04/27/24 04:19 PM ET
Def could've and if he didn't same result**
PBHokie • 04/27/24 05:12 PM ET
So? If a pitcher is going to get stretched to 100-105 pitches
NOVAbasebllfan • 04/27/24 04:01 PM ET
Throw a pitcher too many pitches,,,

There’s more wrong with VT’s pitching recruiting than too many pitches**
