That's the issue I think. He doesn't hit 92 any more. He is their 4th starter ... just got to get to the heat of the summer so the knuckler will dance.

 

 

RA hasn't been in the 92 MPH range since his junior year at UT. He threw way too many pitches in college and his fastball has been in decline ever since then.

Why in the heck is he throwing a Knuckleball?????? Wasnt he a pwr pitcher in college??

 

Yes he was a power pitcher, after he was drafted in the 1st round, doctors noticed he was missing his ulnar collateral ligament in his throwing arm (right) and he needed surgery. This and what many who are close to him hint at "over pitching" while at UT (pitching too much with not enough rest) have led him to find alternative ways to be successful in the MLB. Kudos to him, making that transition is very very hard, shows the talent he is. wish him the best. P.S. had a great year with the Mets this past season...

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
