What is happening? Welcome to the PlusBitch Podcast. More on Pitching Podcast from PitcherList.com. My name is Nick Pollack. Today is August 6th. And yes, we're going to talk about baseball.

Who, man, I'm having the worst travel luck. I think four of the last flights that I've taken up to the airport so on the day I'm traveling yeah on Sunday two flights

were canceled the first one and then the backup one so I had to push everything back a day

fully and it's unfortunate I tried to get the list out yesterday I didn't have a plus

pitch podcast of course tomorrow morning because I was just in transit I apologize

everyone I tried to really make it so that I wouldn't be skipping anything but you

know the the the airport

Lords above had other feelings so here we are the list is coming out today I'm

gonna have my live stream 1 p.m. come on by and we will be regular scheduled

programming for a good while I think through the end of the year now I will be

going to San Francisco for a moment at the end of the month. And I hope to see some of you there, maybe like August 29th or something

in the city. I don't know. We'll figure it out of San Francisco. But I will still have all my stuff

there. I will be able to stream all of that fun stuff. So I will, yeah yeah I will see you guys there anyway we're gonna talk

about yesterday's games we've got David Festo oh my gosh five innings zero and

runs two it's two walks in nine strikeouts against the Cubs I really dig what Festa

does it's a good four seamer with good shape it isn't the best high adjusted VAA

but it is a good extension good good vert on it, 9495.

His slider is a real dependable offering. The change of is a dependable offering.

I saw a guy that was pretty much in control of his start, and there's something I mentioned a lot with people, is, do you feel subconsciously that this guy is in control of what he's doing? That is, does he feel like a general able to discern what he wants to throw in a given time and generally execute it?

Or is it a guy that is just kind of trying to throw a fastball and it goes over to the right or goes there to the left and maybe the slider will work.

Maybe it won't.

Those, that's an important distinction to me.
