No......Great point, Griz (BTW, my soon to be HS graduate daughter is set to become a Montana Grizzly in the fall). many kudos to Kid Zunino for calling a great game. Zunino and Elias owned Soriano and Jeter, who could be their granddads. Well, dads, anyway. Zunino puts the right number of fingers down at most of the right times.
Anyway, Doc is dead on: The Cuban zurdo* has figured out that he belongs on this stage. And with figuring that out comes just a bit of pavonearse*! On the biggest planetary beisbol* stage he went all Cuba Libre (not the cocktail, mind you) on the Yanks. Heck, that's the kind of shutdown performance on the Yanqui that Castro wished he had come up with in October of '62!
The guy is good, transitioning to pretty good. The slider is wicked and I love the inside/outside intent on his FB. Like any young lefty, he will have some struggling starts, but we've seen way more than enough to not be panicked by them and to understand such is the way with young lefties.
I like the arm slot change, too.
I like the kid. And I like that McClendon rock and rolled with him out of ST. I thought Wedge made the right call last year with Maurer, this one appears to have worked out some better.
