chasfh Posted June 12 Posted June 12 Here is Google AI's overview of Matt Gage. Salt applies here. Matt Gage is a 32-year-old left-handed reliever known for his ability to spot pitches and mess with hitters' heads, rather than relying on overpowering velocity. He's primarily a two-pitch pitcher, using his fastball and cutter, with the cutter being his most distinctive pitch. He also throws a slider and an occasional curveball. Gage's fastball has a unique "invisi-ball" feel with significant vertical ride, sometimes rising 23 inches. His cutter, a 6-6 cutter, moves horizontally like a hard slider. Key Takeaways from the Scouting Report: Focus on Pitch Movement and Spotting: Gage excels at controlling his pitches and making them difficult to hit, rather than relying on raw velocity. Fastball and Cutter Combination: His fastball's vertical ride and cutter's horizontal movement create a deceptive mix for hitters. Reliever Role: Gage is a relief pitcher and his approach is designed for short stints in high-leverage situations. Adjustable Pitching: Gage has shown an ability to adapt and learn, making him open to new approaches. Two-Pitch Pitcher: Gage's fastball and cutter are his primary weapons, though he also throws a slider and curveball. Effective Against Lefties: He's particularly effective against left-handed hitters, with his cutter being a weapon against them. Pitch Profiles: Fastball: 88-92 mph, rides vertically (17-20 inches, up to 23 inches in workouts), considered an "invisi-ball". Cutter: High 80s, sweeping cut action, generates swings and misses, effective against lefties. Slider: Low 80s, sweeps across the zone, exceptional depth. Curveball: Mid-70s, occasional pitch. Quote
IdahoBert Posted June 12 Posted June 12 Lex Luther would throw something called the invisi-ball. Quote
gehringer_2 Posted June 12 Posted June 12 Cup of coffee with Houston and Toronto but didn't stick. His results at Toldeo have been pretty decent. Maybe he's picked up a new trick or two this season - Quote
lordstanley Posted June 12 Posted June 12 Twins got blown out so the lead is 7 1/2 games. But the Mets also won so they have the best record in baseball by a game over the Tigers. For viewers in Detroit, this game is also being aired on regular tv on WJBK Fox 2. Quote
GalagaGuy Posted June 12 Posted June 12 It's not even 7pm on a weekday and I'm watching the Tigers on network TV. Something feels so weird about this. Quote
GalagaGuy Posted June 12 Posted June 12 Carp gonna make one of those per Skubal start from now on I guess. Quote

Crazy Cat Gentleman Posted June 12 Posted June 12 Just now, chasfh said: Which network? Detroit Fox affiliate 1 Quote

gehringer_2 Posted June 12 Posted June 12 Lot of Tigers hitters coming back to earth this series. Quote
GalagaGuy Posted June 12 Posted June 12 This feels like a game where Skubal goes 7, gives up a run and ends up with a loss or no decision. Quote
