You tried to destroy it once before, Commodore.
The result was a wrecked ship and a dead crew.

Do you like relief pitchers who celebrate getting through the eighth inning like they just won game 7 of the World Series? Of course you do!

That throw was clocked at 84.1mph, by the way.

Apparently this was his solution to a slow-ish pop time in AAA: don't bother getting to your feet.

It would be pretty easy to determine at what transition time this is actually true. You can hypothetically get more on it from your feet but that has to be enough to make up for the time it takes to jump up. He's such a big guy (for a catcher) that his jump time is probably relatively high.

Anyone have an 'Encarnacion shakes his head in disgust' gif handy?

I guess they realized that his absolute cannon arm made up for the slow times since I am pretty sure that's the first time he's actually thrown from his knees since the call-up, and a lot of his pickoffs haven't even been close.

Yeah that's my point. The 'better' thing is to pop and plant but a big guy like him will be slow at that
