Good morning, baseball fans!
I don’t know about you guys, but I could use a little bit of humor these days.
And for me, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area provided it earlier this week, in the form of this piece about why Gabe Kapler has been leaning on González as an inning-eater during blowouts.
The gist of it is that he’s young, healthy, and has pitched before, though it’s been a while. But the strangest reason is that it’s been effective. Big league hitters aren’t coming into a game looking for 46mph “floaters,” as Jon Miller has deemed them.
