I like a guy who can sustain time.

I mean, don't get me wrong.

I love watching schemes.

I love watching Scooble.

I love watching Garrett Cole.

I've always been partial to a Zach Wheeler.

My favorite for the longest time was Justin Verlander because I called him a 10 speed bike.

You know, he could start at 92 and end at 99 or throw it 100 in the first inning and still ended 100.

He manipulated the game and he understood he could pitch in any generation.

And my fear for these guys is when they lose their miles per hour, they have no tools in their tool set.

They have no way to know how to pitch with less velocity because they've been taught max velocity.

So, you know, Jacob deGrom, when he came on the scene,

Drool came out of my mouth, you know, but then he's had two Tommy John's surgery since.

I look at a Mizorowski and I go, my gosh, this guy would be unbelievable.

I hope he sustains it.

I hope he can learn that he doesn't have to be addicted to 103, you know, that we don't have to keep talking about miles per hour and we talk about his success every time.

I mean, I kind of want to throw up when I see his stats.

All they talk about is how many pitches he threw over 102 miles an hour.

He could have given up seven runs or thrown a no-hitter, and they're talking about 102 miles an hour.

We've got to get back to pitching and rewarding these guys for great efforts.
