It wasn't really hard. Just take away his shitty pitches. I know it's a point of pride for both Latino and Japanese pitchers to throw a million different pitches but you're better off just using two good ones rather than mixing another four mediocre ones in there.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.

And his mechanics were horrible.

In May, López underwent an eye procedure to improve his vision. This has played a huge role in his renewed confidence

“Sometimes I threw pitches with not a lot of conviction,” Lopez said, noting that he couldn’t always see the catcher’s signs, “and that was where the problem began. Once they performed surgery, I gained confidence in all my pitches because I was seeing the pitch and location that the catcher was calling.”

“I’m 200 percent confident, in myself and all my stuff.”

He required surgery on both his corneas on May 2nd to correct blurred vision

Lopez should be confident. With an electric fastball that reaches the upper 90s and a sharp slider/changeup combo to compliment it, he has all the tools to be a successful pitcher. Lack of control has plagued him in the past. Being able to see the batter and the signs clearly and confidently allows him to throw his pitches with more conviction.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

If Don Cooper couldn't fucking figure out that all this dude needed was glasses or a simple eye procedure, he was a million times worse and/or more drunk than we thought.

I guess King is at least capable of inflection, unlike Gordo. Maybe we’ll get a cutesy nickname or two out of Friday night.

I coached against Stacey in travel ball. His guys did not play well and he was not happy.

The victims are the American People and the Republic itself.
