POTD Randy Wolf

Come Up to the Lab, Let's See What's On the Slab

Ron Shandler offers his own CAT scan on this pitcher, courtesy the 2012 Forecaster, back when Wolf was healthy:*

  • Consistently has better actual ERA's than component stats (meaning, he's saavy but un-talented - jeff)
  • Low DIS (disaster) rates (meaning, his main skill is "damage control" - jeff)
  • Is an "innings eater" in "above-average SP clothing" 
  • Avoid.  Crash coming (this occurred - jeff)

The Arsenal

Wolf was always a rare bird.  He's an 89-MPH lefty who throws everything including the kitchen sink, even making stuff up on the mound.  Check out this hilarious 49-MPH pitch he threw to Brandon Phillips.

He legitimately throws 4 pitches without prejudice, very unusual in a left hand pitcher.  You get your Shawn Marcums doing it from the right side.

He does NOT throw 4 pitches because he's got 4 good ones.  All four pitches are pretty lousy - but he does, in fact, use them with a lot of intelligence.  Check this video for confirmation.

Dating with “Culture and Refinement” in the Miami Museum Scene

With all the beautiful beaches, happening nightspots and lively entertainment in the city of Miami, sometimes people overlook the fact that this is also a great place to get your share of culture. The next time you’re planning for a date, consider checking out some of Miami’s great museums and sharing the learning experience with that special someone. The MiamiArt Museum is definitely the place to go for those that prefer diversity in their art viewing.
