Brantly is awful. He'll be gone as soon as Rortvedt is healthy.

Hopefully.

Why the Yankees pitching staff is embracing a new slider and how the ‘whirly’ is different from a traditional slider

It’s behind the paywall, but if you’re not reading The Athletic, what are you reading?

It’s often thrown with a two-seam grip, works the horizontal plane more than a typical slider does, and is developed to play off of true two-seam fastballs using a recently discovered scientific theory called seam-shifted wake.

Those around the Yankees organization are calling this type of slider a whirly. Elsewhere, it’s becoming known as a sweeper. Whatever it is, Yankees pitchers are finding that it’s getting them soft contact and strikeouts, and it’s a sharp example of the way the sport continues to evolve based on developments in technology and statistical research.

I assume this means only two catchers will be on the active roster. Perhaps Rortvedt will start the season on the IL.

Rorschach will start on the IL.

Banuelos pitched far better than JP Sears. Don't get that decision.

Yeah I agree. Plus 16 pitchers?

Rorschach will start on the IL.

When he comes back maybe Sears can pitch to Roebuck. .

Nobody goes more than 5 innings in April. Hence the 28 player limit for the month.
