I have little faith that the ghost that currently is CC Sabathia will go very far in this game. Probably see a lot of Cory Gearin--again. As his knee goes, so goes CC... |

Gearrin has virtually no lower half in his pitches. He uses that funny little toe tap as a timing mechanism and basically throws every pitch from the stretch position.
It’s hard to believe he pitched that way in the minors, much less the majors without some pitching coach grabbing him by the throat and strangling him...

Built for power, not for speed... yeah....a truck....a Ford truck.....works for me... The fellow that does my auto service and repair recently showed me a 1947 military Jeep truck that he refurbished. It’s the same truck they built the ambulances on line the ones you saw on MASH. They’re geared so low. Top speed of 47 MPH, but if you have a chain big enough you can pull a house down driving it a walking g speed. I like what he did with it. Cleaned it up, but left just enough of the dings on it to tell it’s been used in rough service. A real beauty... |

A friend of mine in east Texas had something quite similar, supposedly purchased by his father via Army surplus circa Korean War. We used to scour the countryside “rabbit hunting,” which was often a euphemism for drinking JD and seven-up. I couldn’t believe how that thing could climb and knock down small trees at a snail’s pace. Good memories. |

My buddy found his in a field, but the original post army owner had bought it via surplus and it had been parked almost ever since...A fun vehicle just to sit in... |

Ford with a flat tire there. A hard play, but one that has to be made... |

In fairness to Gearrin, he has a career 113 ERA+, which is quite good. At 33, it might be the salvation of his career if he makes a change. I thinking though, thT if he could once throw 95 the way he throws, he was blessed with a great arm. You’d think someone could have showed proper mechanics and made a late inning guy out of him...oh well... Fifteen years too late. There must have been a reason... |
