What is happening?

Welcome to another plus bitch podcast.

My name is Nick Pollock.

Today is May 15th, and yes, we are going to talk about baseball,

not the fact that I'm going to be turning much older in a week,

and I don't like that.

But we have Miles Davis as a reference for all Miles Davis, Martin,

and the SB roundup.

Why? Because he won't six point two innings and one had run, seven, it's zero walks,

and five strikeouts against the Reds. Against the Reds. Do you want to say that against the Reds?

This was not, though, a game of the kick change. It was not a game of the slider. Maybe it was, but it wasn't. This was a cutter at 89 miles prior.

At least Savant said, yes, this is a cutter.

Now, Davis Martin has thrown a slider at like 87 and change previously, but it didn't have

as tight movement as this cutter did.

And Davis Martin went really right at it.

42 cutters thrown, 11 of them for whiffs is awesome.

Nearly 50% usage against right handers,

and he did what David Cohn calls the X games.

That is, yes, you did have those cutters that did land on the plate away to right-handers,

but a lot of them also went just off the plate.

Well, then Davis-Martin had the sinker that started off the plate and came back over.

He's making an X with movement.
