Here is a link to another of Adam Sobsey’s heavily detailed articles on the recent Bulls-Tides series. He has some interesting comments about Zach Britton‘s pick-off move and delivery habits when Elliot Johnson attempted to steal home on Britton:

Nice link, thanks for sharing. Holding runners has been a big issue for Arrieta, Matusz and Tillman this year so Britton’s pick-off mode and delivery habits should definitely be something that is a addressed soon.
Palsha injured? Yes I’m looking forward to getting injured this weekend. Difference is Monday I’ll get up and go to work.
He’s not exactly injured…
