I also think it is a positive that he has had quick success with this new delivery.  It is always nice to have immediate postiive feedback.  The delivery seemed to be hit-or-miss since he tried it out.  I am sure, looking at the results of the "twist" games, he will be able to take a look at the video and see what things physically he was doing different to get the +2 MPH and deception on his FB.
I don't know anything about aikido, spirals, or the infinite universe...but i wonder if that trademarked, secret M's training/lifting program will help him get additional strength and rotation while twisting during the rotation.  Didn't Vargas used to throw 95?  i remember some talk of that.
Probably no way he gets it up to 95, but maybe with an offseason of work specifically preparing for the twist could get him to 90 and occasionally 91.  He's a different guy (like Fister's jump this year) at 91 than he is at 88.
