Maybe League feels SO uncomfortable with anything but FB 0-0 or behind in the count that that's what he's going to throw. Regardless of what Willis and Olivo want him to throw, they need a pitcher to go along with it. Anyway that's one thought.
And do we know for sure this was under the M's radar? Obviously they hadn't 'fixed' it, but that doesn't mean it wasn't something they weren't aware of.
If it WAS under the radar, then add that to the (relatively) short list of things that make me scratch my head about this org. The main other thing being, how poorly they seem to train/coach their players on media relations.
And I'll second you on Ron Fairly. Although I've always liked him, even with Niehaus. He tends to repeat himself a lot, but I agree that his tempo and demeanor are just right.
