He was never any good. But he looks like Nolan Ryan compared to the rest of the spares in the pitching room

Speaking of Nolan Ryan, it looks like we're going up against him tonight.

Yep. Greenspoint with another dumb take. 

LBJ was great last season. This year, not so much. 

He was better last year, but maybe we are letting the Miami performance cloud our minds a bit about the overall body of work.

Serious, though. Experts - has he lost stuff/velo, is it mental?

The scouting report is out. He is a two pitch guy who can’t command one of the two, so just sit on the fastball. It’s why these guys look so comfortable when 96 is coming in.

Please.  He was 8-4 with a 2.91 ERA, a .231 BAA and a 1.28 WHIP and 5 HRs.   He was good.

the year before his BAA was .194

I've never seen a guy who throws 96/97 be so easy for college hitters to turn around.  There is zero deception.

Yup and their guy throwing 92 down the pipe right past us.

Yup. He had a dud or two but overall was one of the best pitchers in the conference.

The book is clearly out on him though. Don’t swing at the slider and he’s easy to hit.

LBJ is like that super talented kid that is being forced to pitch by his parents and looks scared and shits the bed when the pressure gets ramped up. 

Thats not it at all. Pretty sure he’s been in plenty of pressure situations for us and he’s been great.
