I honestly think if you pick the brains of some of these hitters because they feel like they can catch up to the velocity where they get very frustrated with all the slow speeds.

And that's why you see some of those guys hang around that can perfect it.

Now, on the flip side, the ceiling for the Bubba Chandlers is off the charts.

It's not like they enjoy facing him.

You're putting the two extremes of not enjoying in place, like Chandler, Hendricks, the slow-throwing, annoying one, or the guy that's throwing 102 miles an hour.

Right, and I think that the hitters, the less that they have to think about, they'll take their chances because they're getting in the cage the day before the game, and even though it can't replicate what Chandler does because it's so amazing, they're going to put a gun on 102 high in the zone like Chandler likes to pitch, where when they're facing Hendricks, they aren't putting a gun on 88 with a changeup and trying to front door sinker you as a left-hander and all the other stuff.

It's funny because you had, you bring up Tyler Glasnow and that was somebody that I had written in my notes to talk about with the cruise.

Like everybody wants to get rid of cruise.

Yeah.

You got to watch what you wish for when, when Glasnow and Glasnow was to me, that's the closest comparison to cruise, even though it's a different position.

He always had it.

He just couldn't figure it out.

He's thrown a hundred miles an hour and then he goes somewhere else.

He's successful.

So as far as Chandler, I just worry to me, you know, the pitching coach, Murphy, the pitching coach is really thought of well.

And he's, you know, helped Valdez and Javier and some pitchers with the Astros.

He's got, this is going to be fine with Chandler.

The worry for me with somebody like Chandler is because you hear that, you know, I've heard Curt Schilling talk about he throws too much max effort.

That's why this is happening.

Everything else is Kurt wrong.
