This guy makes a fairly compelling case.

Mets just announced that Kodei Senga is starting tomorrow against the Phillies 
MehâŚpitcher had a very good year. So either he started tipping his pitches and the Mets immediately caught on in a do-or-die situation, or every other team they faced was too stupid to figure it out?
Yeah, I didnât watch the whole video but thatâs because I found the first couple minutes pretty unconvincing. His hand placement in the glove? Batter canât see that. Glove is a half inch closer to his chin? Donât think batter will notice that from 60 feet away, either. Maybe the latter part of the video made a more convincing case?
Watch the whole thing. I was skeptical at first too. He also catches the mets hitting coach mouthing something like âthatâs the changeupâ to Alonso. By the end I felt like I could clearly see the difference by the shape of the glove and the depth of his hand in it.
Around the Horn and PTI both brought this up today.
Everybody follows Jomboy now. However, even Jomboy was tentative in trying to link what he visually perceived with what the Mets hitters could see and how they might adjust to it.
But none of this addresses my earlier point about how the Mets supposedly caught him tipping pitches despite no other team doing so?
OK, I just watched the whole thing. The hitting coach thing is interesting, but there is still not enough here altogether that Iâm buying it. Thereâs so much focus on hand position in the glove, which is great when your camera angle is behind the pitcher, but I donât see how the batter is detecting that when they literally cannot see his hand.
And when they line up the glove positions, itâs like a half inch difference. I donât believe a batter is detecting that from 60 feet away.
But if they did all this, bravo to the Mets. I wonder why they didnât do it the night before when he cut through them in 10 pitches.

The Mets obviously have no idea whatâs coming. Watch the entire inning instead of edited clickbait. Theyâd be timed up on every swing if they knew the pitches. When real tipping happens, they hitters usually sit dead red and take pitches like a filthy changeup.
Not a great start for the Tigers.
if they donât wanna get swept, they better start before they get to the bullpen going forward.
Turner was clearly out. Home field advantage

This may be a hot take, but Iâm over these âzomg look at these pitches overlaidâŚhow does anybody hit this guy??â Every MLB pitcher has a pitch that goes fast and straight and some that go slower and break from the original plane. Thatâs how you pitch. The overlay would look pretty nasty for bad pitchers too.
lol that 2-0 strike call to Iglesias
Absolutely ridiculous. Ump probably bet on the Phils to win. That and Turner not being called out on review. Theyâre in on it.
Peterson definitely got some calls that were low. Just give us the robots already.
some overlays are different.
This ump holy shit.
