Yea, Cameron and his baseball doctrine. He's become so repetitive in his thoughts and feelings about the M's that he's become completely predictable. It's like being forced to watch the an episode of "Welcome Back Kotter" The episode starts with that nice groovy little theme song. And then it happens! There's Arnold Horshack and you know it's coming, that snarky little laugh that sounds like a vacuum cleaner trying to suck up a baseball bat. Followed by ohh, Ohh, Mr.. Kotter. You knew you were going to have to sit through that, yet somehow we all sat down every Tuesday night in the late in the late 70's to watch, and now we're left scratching your head and wondering why.
We all know the order of his preferred tools. Fielding, running, throwing, hitting, hitting for power, and in that order. Things that can't be mathematically analyzed aren't useful in terms of baseball projection. ERA is useless. And on and on. Dude should spend some time with Ryan Divish and ride the beat for awhile, so he can get out of the tunnel vision syndrome. Enjoy the sights and sounds of the game. Get out of the negative Nancy dumpy doldrums. Thanks for reminding me what a bummer it is to be a Mariners Fan
Pitchers tend to turn corners very rapidly, and if you aren't paying close enough attention you'll likely miss it. We witnessed it first hand with Felix and his sinker change combination. Fister learning to effectively change speeds. And there's something as subtle as RJ planting his foot differently. Daved is usually the last to grasp these things, because this is where creative thinking comes into play. You wont find some of this stuff on a spread sheet. It really is possible to be be a creative thinker and an analytical thinker. People aren't really one type or the other.
Dave is taking the simple route. Dave is using past history in MiLB, and applying it to the future. Not to mention it may currently be Dr. D's favorite player. :)
