This internet age of needling somebody until they bite back, then backing off and saying "calm down" needs to loving die already

OK can someone break down why this Josh Hader guy kicks so much rear end? Does he throw 105 mph? A slider with 5 feet of break? Disappearing splitfinger? Is it his intimidating arm tattoos? Gimme the deets, TIA.

GeneX posted:He's not actually that smart, though, even beyond being a chud I think his interest in pitching and getting better at it and finding out more about how to do it is good and admirable, really, but every time he talks about anything beyond grip and motion it's just a complete firehose of bullshit.

He's really good at throwing hitters off balance moving the ball around and changing speeds. Also meth.

If you read the exchange between Bauer and Molly Knight she asks him how he plans to deliver this news, and he replied "whatever way makes the most people mad" I now like Trevor Bauer

Eaton, Goodwin and Robles all on the DL. There are a couple of guys the Nats could stick there who play outfield but presumably the they want somebody who can actually hit the ball.

Just keep moving those goalposts Bauer, you'll own them eventually.

bawfuls posted:Eno has already written about this saga on the Athletic, quick turnaround! Was just about to link this too. That graph of Bauer's spin rate v velocity is pretty interesting. Non-insignificant change in spin rate the first inning of his last start if he were experimenting with a foreign substance just to see the results in a live game scenario. 2600rpm average on his fastball vs a career average of 2280rpm.

Also he works really fast. Like 5 seconds between pitches fast at times and it really fucks with the hitters focus.

Is it his intimidating arm tattoos? Gimme the deets, TIA. He only really throws his fastball. He threw it over 80% of the time last year. He throws it generally at 94 mph and with an average spin rate. Yet the drat thing is unhittable. His arm slot is rare like Sale and is apparently and obviously hard as hell to pick up. Only plausible explanation I have seen. His slider is nasty but he can struggle throwing it for a strike.

Trevor Bauer has me blocked on twitter so thanks for posting all the tweets confirming he's a dummy also, saying stuff with the specific intent of getting people mad does nothing productive at all
