Is it a new Astros promotion to have a local barista pitch the first inning in a game?
Little League defense
Dezenzo is an absolute disaster at first base... And now he's leaving with the trainer... Knocked down a line drive with his head
E for Jose.

He's working in a new pitch this spring.
Zach Dezenzo has a TMJ sprain, an injury to the ligaments and muscles that support the jaw joint.

The ball hit him on the right side of the face and he felt pain by his left ear.
It's not expected to be serious, but he'll have another exam.

Chandler mentioned on his podcast it could be late April to early May. But that's him making some assumptions on a rehab assignment timeline.
Before his injury, Lance once told me he'd email or call players who got injured (even if he didn't know them), just to let them know it'd be ok and to have someone to talk with.

It's good to see him back on the bump.

Mechanics look tighter, he's not as wide with his sweep while he's throwing

Never have such a great and terrible player shared the same screen to sell beef and ice cream.

If you drag the slider on the video to slow it down, you'll see the difference. He indeed is tighter and more compact with his new mechanics.
I'm reminded of some Walter Payton tales you can find in SI or ESPN - alot of power in the butt.Rustys-Beef-o-Reeno said:AustinCountyAg said:

Quote:
Frank Caito, the Bears' former trainer, used to say the secret of Payton's success was his "big butt." He meant it, too. Payton's formidable gluteus maximus muscles were the source of his power. Caito was convinced it not only protected him from abusive hits, but also allowed him to lift his legs a little higher than the average Bear.

Roki Sasaki with a somewhat underwhelming first start, 3 IP, 5 walks, 1 er.
That guy has had a crazy early life. His dad and grandparents all died in the tidal wave that hit ***ushima in 2011 when he was in 3rd grade.Quo Vadis? said:

The Japanese team that drafted him didn't let him pitch for 2 years after getting drafted to perserve his still developing arm.
