It appears he’s getting around the ball now as opposed to the 2010 footage. He has a little bit of a slinging motion anyway, but if you compare these clips to footage of his outing against the Mariners a few nights ago it’s more obvious.

I hadn’t seen him pitch this season, but went back and reviewed the footage from the Mariners game. He looks like a pitcher hiding an injury.

He was a mess last year with the Giants too.

Jesus Jeff Mathis, even your jokes aren’t funny. Can you do anything correct?

the big issue in velocity is the gap from fastball to his offspeed. Not much gap there, so, the reaction time is very similar. read, react, swing. You got the same basic time whether it is fastball or offspeed. You want a speedchange of more than 10mph. If they are to close, you get hammered, regardless of how fast your fastball is. It is called “off speed” for a reason.. make them look at something that is well off the speed of a fastball.

According to my math, at the rate he is going, by 2016 his fastball will move at 86.36 MPH and his changeup will be 87.35 MPH. By 2019 his fastball will be 84.26 MPH and his changeup will be 90.61 MPH. And in 2027, when he is 45ish years old, his fastball will be 79.26 MPH and his changeup will be 99.89 MPH.

IMO, he isn’t just failing, he is starting over. He is turning himself back into a prospect. The man is a genius.
