Quick recap:
Detroit's pitcher, in grey, gets the analog of his poker-bluff "tell" found out, because it's part of his unintentionally ritualistic pitch mechanics. The Yankees, in white, go on to punish him, all while trying to keep their discovery mum.
This is super fascinating to me, because it's such an obvious pitching pattern, once detected, and the pitcher, who was already intentionally trying to obfuscate his body language, had no idea that his pitch warm-ups had such an obvious tell.
Peak baseball.
Hey ButterflyEffect, questions for you: I bet Jimmy (from Jomboy Media) probably had to get inside intel/permission through the grapevine from Detroit and the Yankees to post this. Do you think he discerned the pattern for himself first? He implies that. And how long do you think it takes to fix that something so far ingrained a rookie pitcher?
