It’s definitely a very suspicious video. But in Mracna’s defense:
1. No, he has not been “lit up all season”. He had a 4.24 ERA going into last night. Which is honestly about average for a starter
2. He’s always been a high strikeout guy. 57 K in 36 IP this season
3. Sticky stuff mostly improves spin rate, not velocity, and he was shoving fastballs down their throat last night.
That video definitely doesn’t look good for him. But a lot of fake news being spread by Aggies on Twitter saying Mracna was basically a total bum before last night. Definitely not the case

I’m more frustrated with how much the zone expanded in the 8th and 9th for the Ags.
Closer painted some and then the ump gave him some generous calls that had our guys chasing.
He was touching 96 pretty consistently which is 2ish more than his average. But I’d bet that was because he was closing versus starting.
Until we see spin rate comparisons when he was “hit” versus last night I don’t think we’ll ever know

Not all fastballs are the same. The rotation on them does matter.
