GreenSox Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 If all he can throw is 2 pitches, how did he check all the boxes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I'd agree that Reynaldo looks like he's due for a little bonus rest if the Sox can buy some for him. His velocity varies so much within and between games that I don't know whether I should think it's because he's tired, consciously backing off, or what.

He was throwing pitches in Charlotte and then just let him stop throwing a changeup & curve. It’s poor player if I’ve ever seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Reynaldo really has a lot of young Bartolo Colon to him. I wonder if he'd be better off trying to emulate that approach and simplifying things, just throwing the fastball and one chosen offspeed with a third pitch just once in a blue moon.

But the fastball doesn't miss bats. That's a big problem when you don't have good offspeed pitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crew chief felt they were underperforming even with an underperforming roster so he told them to go home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colon has elite command though, he can take the frosting off a cake with his fastball. Reylo not so much yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but that's why I brought up Colon as a comparison because other than a brief time early in his career he wasn't a big strikeout guy but was able to be successful throwing 80%+ fastballs. Lopez might also find a little more success with his fastball if he could get himself ahead in the count a little more often, which is hard to do when he can hardly throw an offspeed pitch for a strike (not that he's pounding the zone with his fastball either).

Chicago White Sox Posted July 28, 2018 Author Share Posted July 28, 2018 Lopez has actually thrown a ton of changeups tonight. Has that contributed to the poor results? If so, I’m all for it. I’m guessing it’s much more than that, just looking for a reason for optimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Well they've hit the changeup pretty well, but the same could be said for his fastball. He's thrown 9 breaking balls, 8 of which were called balls. That's probably not helping him much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 That's the first time that pitch-tipping came to mind for me there. It's a very hittable hung curveball but you almost never see a guy go up and swing at that on 0-0 unless the pitcher has been throwing that pitch to start guys off throughout the game.
