Moan4Yoan Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 So Covey seems to have good velocity, throws an array of pitches, and doesn’t walk the world. Does he just not have enough movement on his pitches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he just not have enough movement on his pitches? That's his mode 1/5 starts. The other 4 he has no secondary pitches he can throw for a strike and his fastball is sitting 92-94 with very little movement. For a brief period he had a wicked 2 seam fastball but that appears to have been a fluke. Edited May 22, 2019 by chitownsportsfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GermanSoxFan Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Remember when David Ortiz looked like he was toast and couldn‘t hit the fastball anymore only to come back in his late 30‘s with the quickest bat he has ever had. That‘s who Verlander reminds me of. Edited May 22, 2019 by GermanSoxFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GermanSoxFan Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) Quick fact check: David Ortiz had pretty much the best season of his career at age 40. ? Can‘t wait for him to get into the hall and nobody will talk about that he was obviously juicing. Edited May 22, 2019 by GermanSoxFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GermanSoxFan Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 That Gurriel HR is example #3476875 of why the juiced ball is absolute horseshit. Covey beat him with the fastball and he still hits it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxbrad Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 25 minutes ago, Blackout Friday said: He didn’t miss because he’s too far off the plate. Come on. He missed because he got fooled and didn’t stay closed. And sure they change. Anderson made adjustments. So did Moncada. Other guys have too, but they just aren’t that good so it doesn’t really matter. You can’t tweak your stance and become more talented. Eloy has now struck out over 30 percent of his at bats, mostly on the outside part of the plate and absolutely you can hit better if as you say tweak your stance.

As a whole, he’s been really bad this season. Not a lot of hard contact at all. I’m actually shocked at how bad he’s been. Meanwhile, 0-17 this series for the players that matter. I miss Orioles pitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s gotten fooled twice on pitches 4 inches off the plate. It’s not his stance, it’s recognition. Anthony Rizzo wouldn’t have hit that.

Anthony Rizzo wouldn’t have hit that. He’s off the plate a good amount and also pulling off the ball. It’s a bad combination and he’s been terrible against sliders and curveballs this season. I honestly don’t know why anyone ever throws him a fastball over the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
