Call me crazy, but I got the same queasy feeling I had when I heard the Cubs pitching brain-trust mention that they were working on adding a slider to Kerry Wood's arsenal of pitches shortly after he blew away 19 Astros with a two-pitch arsenal.
First question is "Why?".
If it ain't broke, stop trying to break it.
Can't we wait until it breaks before we try to fix it?
And if he throws this pitch from a different arm slot, doesn't that minimize the effectiveness?
IDK, call me crazy or queasy....but I can't figure it out. Hope it works out, because Cain had been very consistent and very effective for quite some time now. He has seemingly passed the hard-luck, lack of run support mantle over to Bumgarner.
McCovey Chronicles - For San Francisco Giants Fans:
"Mike Krukow noted today that Cain is changing his arm slot for the occasional slider, too. Whatever is going on, Cain looks like a slightly different pitcher right now. He's not radically different, but it seems like he has an adjusted arsenal to complement his sneaky-fast fastball."
