I think the latter.

43 to be exact. His heater is pretty straight. He needs to learn the cutter and the two seamer.

Or learn how to paint corners with that flat four seam. Can't throw it by guys anymore down the heart of the plate.

Are you worried that his K-rate may be too low for the Astros?

I like Blum; I think he has useful insights. Ashby needs to go.

Wasn't Stanton the guy who had Earl Weaver stuffing cigarettes in his face like chewing gum?

Among other things, the voice is hard to take.

I think you're remembering Don Stanhouse.

At first I did not like Blum, probably because he didn't have a broadcasters' voice, but I have come around on him.
