The (age old, time proven) concept of coming out of the shoot (1st inning) with the game plan of keeping opposing hitters off balance seems to be a foreign concept to Lopez (and, as the one calling the game, Castillo... and by extension Rentaria/ Cooper).

Changing; eye angle, speed, and ball movement is far more important than repeatedly attempting to throw the fastball at maximum speed. MLB hitters feast on a steady diet of 95-97 MPH fastballs. Compare and Contrast Glasnow’s approach vs. Lopez’. It’s like night and day. 

Every game, it's the same plan.

- Establish the 4 seamer, go with one offspeed

- In the fourth inning, introduce a 3rd and fourth pitch, that's the hook!

That's it.

Anderson keeps this up he is gonna get the starting nod at SS for the all star game.

He's so fun to watch. Will be a shame when the Sox trade him as they undergo rebuild #2, since the first one didn't take. :D

They will draft Stott and then be forced to trade Anderson before Stott has proven a thing in the minors
