Chapter 894 The Disappearing Slider

Shen Qin was still dissatisfied, but Vituga was taken aback!
There was the lure of the disappearing slider, followed by a 12-6 cross, and it was caught in an instant?
He knows how tempting it is to use these two high-speed balls at the same time!

When my rookie pitcher is in good shape, his ball control is really amazing, especially the slider and cross fingers are very high. In the words of scouts, no matter how complete he is or what his physical condition is, he can rely on it alone. With the ratings of these two types of balls, he can get a very good pick.

Vituga held his face in his hands and thought for a while, and was convinced by Shen Qin's game.He trusted his own judgment. Shen Qin was indeed very unfamiliar with this type of ball and was not very good at it. The ball he just missed was not accurate.

But this does not hinder the opponent's ability, he followed quickly, he was not deceived, and he just missed the bite.

Once can do this, twice?three times?So what to do next is very important.

I have to admit that this stupid guy who plays games is very good at baseball, and his talent is impressive!
The speed of the swing, the timing of the strike...

And this is a very aggressive player, which wears down the pitcher's momentum~ need to pay attention!
Of course, what he considers to be the most troublesome hitter in UMBC's lineup right now is Xi Chuan!

It is recognized that the opponent's technology is mature, and it is from Japan, and the basics of the whole body are trained there.

Unlike the current players in the United States who are more accustomed to playing fireballs, Nishikawa from Japan is obviously very used to this special slider and fingers.

Didn't a coach make a joke?A pitcher who can't point fingers in Japan will never be able to bear the ace number in the team?

Naturally, the more you watch, the more you fight!

So before the game, Vituga focused on this guy.

In UMBC's lineup today, what they want to pay attention to is not Shen Qin, who is the most powerful, nor those heavy guns, but Nishikawa, who has little power.

………………

Today is a bit special, introducing the next young man who died in the away hotel this morning. (The reason is undecided, so I don't know what word is more appropriate.)
Reports have indicated (unofficially) that homicide and suicide have been ruled out.

But the word foul play was in the first news, so...

But I don’t know why, but there are a lot of people saying no foul paly is suspected~
The deceased was Tyler skaggs, of course, except for him... Everyone was a little creepy when they heard that name this morning.

In the Future Stars All-Star Game in 12, there were members such as Fish Ball King, Ventura, Skaggs, Taveras...

Both died young, skaggs was only 27 years old.

At that time, the Angels were visiting the Texas Rangers, and everyone was playing cowboy the day before.

Skaggs was selected with the 09th overall pick in 40. The names of the great players of the same year must be familiar to everyone.

Trout, and his predecessor Grichuk, who just signed a new contract with the Blue Jays this year, and of course, Corbin and Richards.

However, in 10 years, skaggs was sent to the Arizona Diamondbacks as a package with several players including Corbin in exchange for Haren.

It can be said that the Diamondbacks are the real starting point of skaggs' career, and participated in the All-Star Game of Future Stars in both 11 and 12!

12 years is too miserable!
Almost every year, everyone will bring up the things of those few people, but no one thought that they would be added to skaggs so quickly.

Skaggs returned to Los Angeles with Dipoto, who was transferred to the Angels as the net profit, and has locked the Angels' starting rotation so far.

After undergoing TJ surgery in the second half of 14, he returned in 16. The first half of the 18 season was even more amazing, with an ERA of only 2.57.

Maybe many people think that's it, but you have to know that it was the Angel in the first half of the 18 season!

The starting rotation of the Angels at that time was a mess. In order to allow Otani to rest for an extra day, the ball team kept pulling people up and down. Almost everyone except Otani could not find their own comfortable work rhythm.The Angel vibe back then was just weird.

The skaggs were certainly impeccable in maintaining that performance in that situation.

Before today, his performance was not bad, especially in the last few games.

pity……

The one who just got married last year didn't dare to think about how his family felt when they received the news.

Now I just hope that the cause of death will be announced quickly.However, this is the second player to leave this year for the Angels...

The blow to Trout should be huge. Last year, his best friend and colleague was also his brother-in-law who committed suicide~ and skaggs is his good friend and roommate in the minor leagues...

If it was a homicide, that would be terrible. This is still a major league, and security has been done very well.

Think about the minor leagues, a bunch of games in the middle of nowhere.

'wilderness' is not an adjective!Many courses are really remote. If someone really wants to commit vicious acts like robbery...it's terrible!

Remember the Cuban hunk Yasiel Puig who likes to lick sticks!This guy dares to pick other people's team alone!With such a physique, when I lived in Los Angeles, my home was burglarized many times!

Imagine if players or family members were relaxing at home...panic!
Millions of mansions are like this~ What about small hotels!
Speaking of this, I would like to mention a topic mentioned before, how should players buy a house, because I will talk about this later.

Let's take Puig as an example. He just spent $300 million to buy a house for about a year and then...was traded.Everything has to start again in a new city.

In the novel, it is set that Montero and Florida face each other across the sea, and there is no such thing as smuggling, so they have close contacts.

It is easier for players to buy a house to live in, and both sides can do it at will.

In fact, for free agents who can choose independently, they and their families will be included in the main consideration.

Is the living environment warm?How is the climate throughout the year?Is there a place suitable for children to play?

Is it convenient to go to school?Is it convenient to go on vacation?Is it convenient to travel to and from the team?

Or can a short rest day be entertained nearby?
But the most important thing is safety!
The players are all grown-ups, and no one can ask them to say this or that. After all, whoever promises beautifully knows what to do when they turn around.

Many tragedies happened because of similar things.

So it is very troublesome to set up. Are there any discounts for players to buy houses?How does the local policy support it?
headache~
There is also the matter of the two home games of the Radiance before. If you think about it carefully, it may not be a smoke bomb!After all, the government where the Rays are located has to drag people down, and the plan for the new stadium is not approved. Does it rule out that the Rays and the major leagues will use this double home stadium plan to put pressure?
Otherwise, it would be impossible to respond to such news all of a sudden, right?
To say that Montreal re-established a new team is more reliable than double home games!
Professional baseball is scary!
