Expand Nope. Happened yesterday. I made a post to that effect. (Q: What's wrong with this lineup? A: Nobody in it is batting under .200) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mqr Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 The Astros have been the best team in baseball the past 3 years. The White Sox one of the worst. The Sox have won the season series twice in that span. Baseball is dumb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 They didn't have to show that, but that's pretty cool of McCann to sign those balls for those kids immediately after a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand He could still mix it in every now and then during at bats when the fastball and cutter aren't enough to get a hitter out. I thought that AB vs. Springer was the perfect time to break it out.

Expand As a reliever, a third pitch is really risky because if you dont have a feel for it you've just blown the game. You dont have innings to find the feel. For whatever reason the cutter tends to hurt relievers off speed offerings. It's why cutter first relievers dont really mix in off speed stuff nearly at the rate that other relievers do.
