I see in the boxscore that Parisi got ejected. Any info on why ? ( Arguing with umpire?/doctored ball?/throwing @ batter?) It doesn’t appear that he hit any batters.
He was arguing with the umpire over not calling the 6 12 curve for a strike and having an inconsistant strike zone.
I’ve seen a 12-6 curveball before but a 6-12 must really be something. ha.
parisi has a 6-12 curve! i don’t know if he needs to join our rotation or the physics staff at MIT!
the maniac mcgee rise ball cometh!!!!
Just wait till you get a load of Parisi’s 3-6-3 slider. Blow your mind.
I’m guessing most of us FR readers frequent Fangraphs by default.
But if not, they’ve got their Cards minor league review up.

I must admit, I’m still a fan of the 1-4-2-8-5-7 knuckleball.
