Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

Geoff Baker asks Brandon League why he doesn't throw that unhittable pitch more often. Last year, League apparently had trouble spotting his two-seam fastball (sinker) which made him use the splitter more (the stats have been well documented). So why did he go splitter-crazy in Sunday's game vs. Cincinnati?

"That was a last resort,'' he said with a laugh. "They couldn't score there or it was a tie game. I had to get a strikeout.''

League's fastball currently sits 1.4 runs above average vs. 3.1 below average last year. Guess we'll see how this goes.

"If I throw the splitter, it's going all the way to the backstop"?

You can't be a catcher if you can't catch. Rob Johnson will henceforth be listed as a traffic cone on the roster.

Dumb logic by League

It would be like Vargas throwing his best pitch, the change, only when he really really double secret probation needed it.
