Lugo looked pretty good out there the few times I saw him. He seemed to have pretty good velocity on this FG (no radar at ST stadiums). I like what I’ve seen from the kid so far.

He hasn’t played above “A” level? I wasn’t aware of that.

From Chris O’Leary’s essay on the “Inverted W”:

a pitching arm action cue that is referred to as the “Inverted W” (or the “Upside-Down W”, “M”, “Winged Arm Action” or “Breaking the hands with the elbows”).
…
Many people think I coined the term “Inverted W” and criticize me as a result for not using the much simpler term “M”. This is a perfectly valid criticism. However, the truth is that I did not coin the term the “Inverted W”. Instead, I believe the term “Inverted W” was coined by Paul Nyman.

Call if what you like. I like “Inverted W” because it implies “the opposite of W”. Since forming a “W” is the right thing to do, the term “Inverted W” would be clearly incorrect… at least in my mind. That’s why I prefer that term.

Just out of curiosity…is there a reason to call it an “Inverted W” instead of just an “M”?

I’m only half kidding.
