When is his UCL going to snap?

Morin has been Tipping his off speed pitch all year. 

[Angel Oracle]

Mo-Runs-In has been tipping that since 2015.

I don't get it. Even if it were true, why go public with it?

into the bleachers.  

[Freezer]

If you suspect or know you were tipping pitches, wouldn't it be better to use that tell and try and deceive a couple hitters?  Continue to do that and let the other team figure it out and adjust. Seems that would be better than going public with it.

Hey umm, I wasn't really THAT bad, they knew what I was throwing, yeah that's it!

H/T to Blarg for calling this last night in the game day thread.

This was something that Pujols brought to his attention ... Alex doesn't know this to be true. 

It's only his third big league start. I found it encouraging.

Finally, an AO nickname I can understand.

Tipping pitches?    Guess his inspiration is Rams' OC Rob Boras?

[LooneyPlatoons]

I don't know if it was because of the lack of a crowd last night or the possible tipped pitches but everything seemed to be hit really loud off of Meyer.

That's what the OC Register said, that he was hit hard from the first batter on.

I went the other night and everything hit was on a line to someone even when they were out front it was a rocket! It looked like Obergrundenhoser was tossing Home Run Derby bp. And somehow AROKI hit a bomb the next night?.... Dude is the slappiest of slappy MOFO's I ever seen....

 

Wouldn't that be exciting that they haven't changed anything since JeDi left and he's just rolling out the playbook..... Kind of how my BUCS beat the Raiders in the Super Bowl in 2002... Bill Calahan was running Gruden's playbook and Gruden walked in on the bye week before and handed everyone on the Defense his playbook and said study it!.......

I mean really SVEN wouldn't be to hard headed to keep the same signs and tendencies etc.....right?....

Good Times!

[Jobu]

Pujols for pitching coach.

[eligrba]

How about starting with not throwing pitches in the middle of the plate?

They know what Chapman is going to throw and they still can't hit it.

Meyers was a steal 

[Second Base]

MLB hitters are amazing at what they do. But u do believe the Mariners knew what was coming. Meyer has a deceptive release, a ball that just rockets out of his hand, a slider with very hard break that he throws for strikes and a surprisingly adept change up. Guys with his arsenal don't generally get squared up like that unless the batter knows what's coming.

Either he was tipping his pitches or the Mariners were stealing signs (they've been accused a few times over the past few years, though only at home) or it could be simply that Meyer was being too predictable in his pitch selection and location.
