His mechanical like arm action would be made for it, and he comes right over the top which helps it bite.

Moan4Yoan Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Zack knows the strike zone better than umpires. I don’t see how he can not be a good hitter unless he can’t catch up with a fastball like Josh Fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dont have hands big enough it doesnt matter. Contreras' hands were so big he could split a softball. If you have small hands you just can't throw a splitter with any consistency.

Think he'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the benefit to playing Castillo to his contract conclusion? So you don’t look like you are admitting you made a bad signing? We already know it was a crap signing. Stop trying to save face, Rick... My point exactly . He is here ( which he shouldn't be and getting AB's (which he shouldn't be ) so doesn't make sense to comment on his framing skills at this juncture.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) Need to put some pressure on Sparkman this inning. His last 2 innings have been too easy and it will be the third time through the order after Engel bats.
