New Nats’ closer Matt Capps, in an interview with the Washington Post, talking about offseason conditioning:
I
try not to put too much emphasis on weight. A lot of it goes on how I
feel. I’ve had two pretty rough years in my career, one in 2004 and one
last year. And the one common denominator in those two years is that I
came into camp in unbelievable shape . . . Look at Babe Ruth, David Wells; some guys perform better when they are heavier.
I feel the same way about writing and sobriety. Thank God I can now write off bourbon as a business expense.

I love the examples he chooses… yeah, Babe Ruth, David Wells, guys like that. Because those two by themselves constitute a common type of baseball player.

Craig, try Aqavit. It’s the Platonic ideal of what vodka merely wants to do to you. Pulitzer Prize, guaranteed. And if not, you won’t notice.

Hey, Matt. Maybe the fact that you struggle to get MLB hitters out is the main issue in your 2009 suckfest.

Or it could be a combination of higher then average BABIP, a FB/HR% twice his career average and that he was overthrowing his change.
Or what you said.
