Something I don't get...Rothschild has been here for a long time now, helping Angel Guzman..Piniella jsut gets here and is working with Guzman and he gave him that advice last week about standing a different way on the mound, more to the right I think, and said it would be tougher on righties to hit him. You would think, Rothschild after how long coaching Guzman would have told him this and helped him out.Nope.Piniella comes right in and notices and helps Guzman out.Larry never recognized it.

 

I'm not sure about this. First, it's not clear how much help this adjustment will make, if any. It's not as if he's missing RH bats suddenly after the shift. 2nd, he was in the different place on the mound last year, the Piniella way, and got wasted in the spring. Third, Angel has said the Piniella suggestion has gotten him back to where he used to stand. But that it was Maddux who told him to move to the middle.

 

So, Piniella says stand on the 3B side, so you can pitch on the inside. Maddux told hiim to stand in the middle, so you can pitch to the outside. So, was Roth a dope to go with Maddux over Lou? I'm not sure.

 

Seems to me that a lot of pithers are able to pitch to both sides, and if you can't it's a problem. Maddux thought Guz couldn't work the outside from Lou's position, Lou doesn't think Guz can work the inside from maddux's position. I dunno. He's probably going to need to come up with something so that he can work both inside AND outside, at the same time, from the same position on the mound. If he can't use both, he's only going to go so far.

 

I'm not dissing Guzman.

 

But I think it's maybe foolish to trash Rothschild as being too dumb to notice, when he may have been going along with the views of one of the brightest pitching analysts around in Maddux. I'm not sure being on Maddux's side necessarily makes Rothschild that dumb.
