Yankees and Mets keeping an eye on Z

[NCCubFan]

He looks injured my eye. He looks like he's got an incompetent pitching coach.

Does it look to you like Lilly, Marquis, and Hill have an incompetent pitching coach? Because they have the same pitching coach Zambrano has.

 

Yes

If the seasons Hill, Lilly, and Marquis are having this year are due to an "incompetent" pitching coach, give me incompetence or give me death. :D

 

(In other words, your statement makes absolutely no sense to me.)

 

Rothschild has been the pitching coach for almost the entire time of Z and Prior's career. He was also the pitching coach for a good portion of Wood's career. Z, Prior, and Wood (to a lesser extent) has been exposed to a terrible amount of abuse under Larry's watch. Larry hasn't done much to improve any pitcher in my estimation. Hill was doing just fine before he came to the big leagues.

 

Lilly and Marquis have pitched a handfull of games for the Cubs. Lilly was a decent pitcher before comming to Chicago. Marquis was pretty good for the first part of last season too. We'll see how things shake out.

Yes we will. However, if frequent reports that Dusty completely ignored Rothschild's advice are true then what's happened in the past is more likely Dusty's fault than Larry's.

If your boss ignored your advice and made you look bad would you continue to work for him?

I don't know what the Mets/Yanks are doing, but if I were them I'd be smelling injury and waiting to see if that's what's really going on. The arm angle thing is very worrisome. Pitchers might do that for a few reasons -- one of which is because it hurts to throw from the normal arm angle.

 

And I'm pretty darn sure Z is the type who will attempt to pitch with a certain amount of pain. I hope he's not hiding something from the trainers.

 

It's just worrisome, that's all.

If you really cared about and enjoyed your job, yes.

Maybe he'd received some assurances from Hendry that he'd outlast Dusty.
