Max has had lots of dominant stretches here too. When he's healthy and on a roll, he is as good as it gets.
Anyone writing about sticky stuff any more? Max took a noticeable hit in his numbers for the first few weeks of the crackdown and then was looking more Max like by the end of his Nats days and now is better than ever. Did he learn how to pitch without it, or just hiding it better and the umpires lost enthusiasm for enforcing it? Is anyone tracking Max and others spin rates to see if they dipped and went back up to un-natural numbers?
Or, in a funny twist of irony, has the MLB just stopped caring without Bauer around to keep them honest?
