There’s no question that the ball was moving out of here like it never has. What that is, why, I have no idea. But I know how the ball was carrying. And we had pitchers at the same time who were probably ill-suited to pitch here and be able to put the ball on the ground.
They did seem to get away from the groundball emphasis with Guthrie and Moscoso. Now Apodaca's gone (the pitching coach), he really seemed to emphasize playing up even non-sinkerball pitchers' two-seamers to get more ground balls.
They seemed to have a reasonable plan there for a while. The Blake St teams from 95-97 are the only teams to put up 3 straight winning seasons, but the best 3-season stretch in wins and winning pct. is actually 2007-2009.

Yeah, but it's only 5 pounds if you take out CC.
