Mateo is frustrating to watch. For a couple batters he’ll look fine, like he’s not just throwing but locating. Then the next couple pitches will go off into outer space and everything will become a struggle.

He just turned 21. Hopefully with some age and experience, he will learn to trust his stuff and not over think it and just pitch. Some guys will get it but some never do. Hope he is one that gets it sooner than later.

Nuke LaLoosh. I kinda feel bad for anyone that has to stand in the box against these wild power arms. I'd be bailing during the wind-up.

I wouldn’t dig in too hard. I have no idea where the ball is going….I really don’t….

Didn't someone once say that Double-A Randy Johnson was the scariest pitcher he had ever faced, because they had NO IDEA where the ball was going to go, Johnson included? Basically that lol

Made me think of this, in the all-star game.
