Hudson on pitching mechanics:
“From the time I got to the big leagues, I’ve tried to simplify my delivery — to make it as simple as I can, not to have a lot of moving parts. So when something does go wrong, it’s usually easy to fix. Because I’ve been able to simplify it, things don’t go crazy. When something does get out of whack, it’s usually a little bit of a simple fix, a timing thing. They’re not cool mechanics or flashy by any means, but they work for me. You can have a complicated delivery, but it’s a lot harder to fix things. I probably had a complicated delivery when I was younger. I just figured that was too much effort, a pain in the ***.”
Note to Tim Lincecum. You have an excessively complicated delivery. You have more moving parts than a Swiss watch. You have been out of whack the past two seasons — hence your losing record during that period. Notice Hudson’s delivery. Think simple. Simplify.
