Jeremy Guthrie's been around 13 years, and the Phillies did so much damage in that 1st inning that his career ERA rose from 4.37 to 4.42

What a birthday gift.

good chipper jones interview
When you're watching a pitcher as a hitter, what are you watching?

Jones: I'm watching anything that allows me to pick up him tipping his pitches. Whether he's fanning his glove on his changeup. If he tips his curveball. If he comes to the side on his slider. You can pick up a lot if you just watch.

What should fans watch that they might not be watching?

Jones: That's a good question. When I sit down and watch a game, I'm looking to see if a pitcher is tipping his pitches. If he has a good changeup, I wanna see if he flares his glove on it. If I can pick something up and relay it to the boys in the dugout, it gives them an advantage.

Eduardo Perez, whom you credited in the book for a tip on Billy Wagner, said Johan Santana used to tip his changeup. Who else tipped?

Jones: Randy Johnson tipped his pitches. Curt Schilling tipped. One guy that I had a lot of success, Shane Reynolds, he tipped his pitches. When he came over to the Braves and I told him he was tipping pitches, he looked at me like I'd shot his dog. He was very upset.

How hard is it to pick that stuff up?

Jones: You've just got to know what you're looking for. When you throw a changeup, you have to grab the ball with all your fingers, so in order to get in there and grab it, you've got to fan your glove. You could do like a Greg Maddux did. When he came up, he fanned everything. If he fans everything, there's no way to tell what he's doing.

Watch the last inning of this Mets game (I know) Josh Smoker tips his off speed pitches, he flares for his slider and double clutches his change up. I die a little inside when I see it and I tipped my splitter like a motherfucker.
