How can you be a sinker baller if all your pitches are belt high

[treebird]

schlitter with no pitches below the belt to venable

[Sammys Boombox]

Why keep putting the ball in the strike zone 0-2 and a free swinger at the plate? Edited April 19, 2015 by Sammy's Boombox

[Derwood]

Schlitter is exactly who you want in this situation

First time I've been mad at Maddon

Well, maybe by "you" he meant "people who support or are employed by the San Diego Padres"?

lucky he swung through that one.

[RynoRules]

Yeah, I'd almost rather see Jaxon in that spot

[Gilby]

Schlitter is exactly who you want in this situation since a bunch of pen guys are unavailable. Hard throwing right handed sinkerballer

 

Except that he can't ever keep the ball down so it doesn't matter than he's a sinkerballer.

 

Sure he does. His GB% was 70% going into today and was 60% last year.

[ScrubMD]

Somebody needs to injure Schlitter. For some reason, he's Maddon's weakness.

[DiamondMind]

I was dead serious. I'd of rather had Jackson there.

[Andy]

Yeah, I'd almost rather see Jaxon in that spot

At least he occasionally misses bats

[Tryptamine]

Stop [expletive] showing bunt every damn AB Alcantara.

[DiamondMind]

Mendy is lost :(

Every Chicago coach has their pet who sucks. Schlitter, Rozival, Hinrich. I'm sure Fox has someone in mind already

[Tryptamine]

Can we please bring Baez back?

[Guest]

If we sent Alcantara to Iowa, could we request the other teams feed him a steady diet of changeups?

[Guest]

I hate Schlitter and hate seeing his stupid face but TT is right.

 

Not Maddon's fault Schlitter came out pumping belt high fastballs.

[treebird]

what do you guys think alcantara will do after his playing career is over next year

As long as the game doesnt get called Im keeping the faith. This teams shown awesome resilience late in games.

That's kind of what he does. When you put him in the game, expect belt-high fastballs.

[Clem Fandango]

Probably open up a pizza joint with Jason Dubois or something

[Hairyducked Idiot]

We'll throw him in to some rebuilding team who will give him chance after chance after chance because he used to be a top-100 prospect
