Ladies and gentlemen Mike Mussina is back. Well sort of. The old man pitcher we all assumed was done is currently 6-3. He has changed the way he pitches. He throws inside now with a fast ball that tops out at 84 85. He throws all his off speed pitches slower than normal. I mean a changeup that used to be 75 miles an hour is down to 65. How nasty is that? You would think the slower the pitches are the easier to hit right? Well you are wrong. Hitting is all about timing. Sometimes a slower pitch that is placed right will throw off the batter's timing and most importantly makes an 85 miles an hour fastball look like a 95 mile an hour fastball. you get it? It is all about trickery. He has to continue to pitch this way or he won't last the year. The Yankees need him to keep this up. I hope with this new style he can hopefully pitch for a few more years and if he wins 13-15 games a year he'll get to 300 wins in 3 years assuming he wins about that this year. I think he can do it. I might be the only one who does. Go moose go.
