ON SECOND THOUGHT
This story from Spring Training would tend to show that knowing what pitch is coming, doesn't mean you can hit it.
What happens when PitchCom is so loud that the batter can hear what pitch is being called? Apparently, not much. The pitcher threw two scoreless innings and struck out two.
Media acts as though the Astros had a cheat code with the sign stealing scheme, but there's much more to it than just knowing what the pitcher is throwing.
Check out the video to hear the full story!
Listen to The Paul Gallant Show from 10am-12pm weekdays on ESPN 97.5 & 92.5 FM!
The latest update from Astros GM Dana Brown on the club's flagship station did not ease anyone's concerns this week. Brown said he was optimistic that Kyle Tucker would be back before September. September?
Which made us wonder what type of injury Tucker is really dealing with? A bone bruise doesn't typically take this long to heal.
Be sure to watch the video above as ESPN Houston's Joel Blank and Barry Laminack share their thoughts on Tucker's health, the Astros' secrecy when it comes to injuries, and much more!
