All of this could have been prevented if Mad Dawg hadn't left behind that crate of porn in the bullpen. Just sayin'...

Someone needs to post this in the injury thread where poor Brad still has no idea where he stands.

Chooch for President

Chooch will be hitting cleanup before this season's over.

@ScottLauber:

Ryan Howard saw breaking stuff on 39.7 % of all pitches he faced last season. So far this year? 41.1 % (via @STATS_MLB)

Uh oh

Just seems he's concentrating on his swing so much he's becoming even less discerning about the pitches he swings at.

Keep the same approach with balls IN the strikezone. I'll be happy, and you'll still be rich.

Maybe we've gotten the causality wrong on this whole Halladay/Kendrick thing:

Halladay has tried various change-up grips in his career without finding one that worked consistently. Dubee suggested the split-finger grip because of the success Kyle Kendrick had with it.

Needing to develop secondary pitches to go along with his trademark sinker, Kendrick had tried a circle change-up - a two-seam grip where the index finger is rolled into a circle until it touches the thumb - but never felt comfortable with it. Halladay had also tried a circle change before.

When he went to triple-A Lehigh Valley in 2009, Kendrick learned the split-finger grip from another sinkerballer, Justin Lehr. Lehr had learned the grip from Atlanta pitcher Tim Hudson and passed it along to Kendrick.

The movement on a split-finger change-up is similar to that of the sinker - it's just slower. A conversation with Halladay early in spring training gave Dubee the idea of passing Kendrick's idea along.

"When I was talking to Roy, he said, 'I've never had a change-up that I've felt comfortable with,' " Dubee said. "So I said, this is what we're doing with Kyle, being a sinker-ball guy, take the two-seam grip and spread your fingers."

It worked.

"Roy's thrown a lot of good ones," Kendrick said. "And he throws it to righties."

If you show me how to grow that beard, I'll show you how to throw this change up.
