Brandon McCarthy PITCHf/x: Sliders, Curves, and Slurves
I take a look at Brandon McCarthy's April 9, 2009 start against Cleveland in which he debuted his new slurve for PITCHf/x.
In the article, I compare the new slurve to the curve ball he was throwing on April 9, 2007 in just his second start as a Texas Ranger.

Both great takes
and yet more evidence that McCarthy’s success (or failure) is going to rest on his command of his fastball. At least (based on his post-game comments) he appears to recognize that ~ let’s hope he can also do something about it.
