It gives me no pleasure to report this, but the rumors you’ve heard are true. Joe Kelly threw a baseball through a window yesterday.
Having seen the video, The Barking Crow can confirm he’s working on a changeup—a changeup that, by the looks of it, would be very helpful against right-handed hitters on the Houston Astros, and not very helpful *yet* in other situations. The “yet” there is important. That’s why there are asterisks around it. Something may yet come of this changeup. Something grand.
Having seen the video, The Barking Crow cannot confirm that it was a standard baseball that Joe Kelly threw through a window. It looked a little funky. Like it was weighted or something. But that may have been shadows. I was focused on the window.
Anyway, yes, our hero threw a pitch through a window yesterday. But as a wise man said two years ago right about now, “It’s not like I have Greg Maddux command.”
