  1. Those 0-2/1-2 high fastballs that are accidentally thrown down the middle have a habit of getting hit very hard. Had some good luck on that one
  2. In fairness to the umpire I wouldn't have thought twice about ball 4 in the second AB if it weren't for how bad the call on ball 4 was on Smith's first time up
  3. Two times now Mallex Smith has walked on a pitch in the zone
  4. Would like to see Eloy get under something
  5. I loved that AB against Beckham. Right when the curve got established he came back with a slider and Beckham had no idea what he was seeing
  6. He immediately throws two 4-seamers that didn't run like that and gets his guy. You're welcome
  7. So far looks like Giolito doesn't really know where it's going. If he keeps letting his fastball run away from his spot he'll be in trouble
  8. If Yoan's Ks are restricted to ones where he swings through a strike I think we'll be happy with the end results
  9. You know his sprint speed so far on Statcast is right at league average. I think he just is really non-aggressive on defense so he's never running hard for a ball. Might be more upside there than it looks like
  10. Ricky pulling the right strings baby
  11. Please tell me Cordell is in right field
  12. Yoan makes it easy for me to not foist all of my hopes upon Eloy
  13. Have to say Eloy almost always looks like he's half-assing it on defense
  14. What metrics would those be? Some metrics made it look for much of the year like his ERA may have overstated his success, but they wouldn't have led to the conclusion that he was pitching badly
  15. You can criticize Coop if you want to, but it'd be weird to claim that he's old school because he's pushing pitchers from curveballs to sliders when that's exactly what the new thinking in baseball is
  16. I mean you can't wave away what was on balance a pretty solid season last year. And for better or worse his repertoire has changed quite a bit since laving Washington
  17. I'm of the opinion that managers don't really matter but Ricky is very bad at the one thing managers really matter for
  18. Would be a good day for Banuelos
  19. Lopez definitely off to a weird start this year. Hard to know what's going on since at times he and the Sox have suggested he has some unspecified focus problems
  20. Where has Kikuchi been hiding that nasty slider boring in on the knee caps of a righty
  21. My hot take is there's much more upside in playing Engel than there is in playing Palka (especially when Palka has to play RF)
  22. He was down this inning but I wouldn't overthink it. Probably a mix of the adrenaline wearing off and spending most of his time in the stretch
