Barry Larkin with a great point during the 7 inning game with Hunter Greene dominating more or less stating that the arrival of Graham Ashcraft has lit a competitive fire under Greene.
High profiled rookie
Comes in with 100 plus mph fastball
Struggles at first until . . .
Low profiled rookie
Comes in with 100 plus mph fastball
Dominates while throwing strikes
Hunter's only problem that I saw was straight fastballs getting crushed. You can get away with high fastballs IF there is movement on the pitches. No movement? 6 plus ERA.
Watching the post-game tonight after Ashcraft's dominance, they showed a 4 pitch strikeout by Ashcraft.
High - drop to middle, outer part of the plate - CUTTER
Low, inside part of the plate - SINKER
High - drop to middle, outside - CUTTER
Low, outside corner - SLIDER
Not one straight fastball.
Hunter now has three more days to think about what he's been doing right and also how Ashcraft goes about his business.
Now if they can just teach Mahle to not nibble so damn much.
