Comments on: What’s wrong with Ubaldo? http://itspronouncedlajaway.com/?p=4181 A CLEVELAND INDIANS BLOG FROM THE ESPN SWEET SPOT NETWORK Sat, 18 May 2013 05:05:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Stephanie Liscio http://itspronouncedlajaway.com/?p=4181#comment-2704 Stephanie Liscio Sat, 02 Jun 2012 16:48:17 +0000 http://itspronouncedlajaway.com/?p=4181#comment-2704 This was a great post! And Mary Jo, your comment made me think of Herb Score. Denied that he altered his motion after he was hit in the face, but it was clear to most that something was different on his follow through.

Whatever the reason, somethings obviously not right and I’m not comfortable with him in the rotation until it is.

At least there was either good Fausto or bad Fausto and we knew which one showed up pretty early whereas with Ubaldo, there is only one; a pitcher who puts way too many people on base and allows too many runs. Speaking of Fausto Carmona, I saw this morning that there is chance that he’ll be back by the All-Star break. We shall see.

Some posit that it’s because he’s changed his throwing out of fear of injuring himself again. He’s done it long enough that the muscle memory is having a difficult time relearning the way he used to pitch. I sure hope his brain remembers how the Good Ubaldo pitched before he got hurt. The post seems to be missing the video so I spent the last half hour of my life (never to get it back) finding the danged thing. [You’re welcome! :-p } In case the link disappears you can search for a Hardball Times article posted May 7th titled “Ubaldo Jimenez: A quick mechanics review”
