backed ball fool fools-and-foolishness letting move overthrow people pitches spring throwing trying watching work
Yes, for most people the spring stats can fool you. But watching the way he's throwing the ball, he's backed off and pitched, not thrown. He's more letting the pitches work for him and letting the ball move for him and locating. He's not trying to overthrow or overpower hitters, but just make his pitches and have them put the ball in play.

Look at that, just like a pool table.
missed point turning
I think the turning point was the missed PK. That made a difference.

I think he's going to remember his first major league outing. Not just the thrill of being here, but probably the longest home run he's given up in his life.

People love wine with bubbles, it makes the wine come alive.
bother innings last seven
That doesn't bother me at all because I know they'll get it going. The last two nights, we got seven innings out of both of our starters, and you can see them getting more consistent.

The affiliation would gain us economies of scale, increased technology, marketing and promotions.
