I hate Steve Traschel, pt. 2
Why, exactly? He is so boring the batters who have patiently waited out 2-1 or 3-1 counts, in at bats that seem to last 25 minutes, swing at total crap just to end the tedium. He hypnotizes them with his bullshit pitches. He forces them to commit hitting suicide. It's a baseball bullet to the brain. It isn't even entertaining to watch, it's not "look at Traschel, how he is fooling these batters. What a performance!" pitching. It's "look at that completely purposeless outside pitch and what can I have for a snack?" pitching.
