massi25 Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 I can't believe more teams don't, want to know what he is going to throw..............FASTBALL, on the next pitch..........FASTBALL. Yeah, it's a cutter big deal, it's still only 1-2 miles an hour difference off his straight fastball, it's a mystery to me how more teams haven't figured this guy out!Massiwww.massi.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's a cutter big deal, it's still only 1-2 miles an hour difference off his straight fastball, it's a mystery to me how more teams haven't figured this guy out!First off "we" don't own anyone. The red sox do(I admit it, I'm a yanks fan)Second, just a quick note on the cutter, it's not that it's slower that makes it effective... it moves in towards lefties and away from righties. It looks just like a straight fastball until it gets about halfway to home plate. People swing at it thinking it's a fastball, and then the ball moves in(towards a lefty) and the bat makes contact near the handle. The red sox see the Yankees so much that they know what's coming and compensate to hit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massi25 Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Yeah, I threw a cutter most of high school and all of college so I know what it is and it's a very effective pitch but when it's the only damn pitch you throw more major league teams should be all over this guy. Mix in a freakin' changeup or slider. Don't get me wrong, I'm a yankee fan and love Rivera but adding another pitch to his repetoire would make him that much more dominant of a pitcher, that cutter AND a slider..........His problems do seem to magnify against the Red Sox, maybe they know something no one else does. This is something I always wondered about even when he first came up, only 1 pitch but it has worked for him for the most part, but I would just love to see him drop a slider once in awhile to keep hitters honest.Massiwww.massi.om Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
