What asked what stood out in his mind, he remarked on what a generous strikezone he got that day. Talk about class.

Yeah, if Mujica can throw it for a strike and guys aren’t hitting it, there’s no strategic reason not to throw it. Whether it’s good for his arm or not, I don’t know.

Maybe it was that slider thing, but he also just plain wasn’t going to continue to allow hits at that rate. There are flukes in the minors too.

I wonder if that point in the windup where he has the ball down behind him could potentially hurt him in the future. I guess you don’t really need deception when you’re pumping 98, but baseball players are amazing, so i think there might be potential to see grips and cheat a bit.
