soxfan49 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I would've liked to see Crochet there. At 110, I think I would've taken my chances with Crochet and his 102 mph fastball especially in that scenario where they needed a strikeout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt3515 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Nothing like making him throw 120 pitches 5 days before the playoffs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominikk85 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 It Sounds strange but imo robert is not aggressive enough. Long term you want to improve his plate discipline but right now his pitch recognition is what it is and imo robert tries to show false patience here by waiting a little longer to see the ball better and then being late on the FB. Javier baez had that too, the Cubs had one season where the Cubs tried to make him more patient and his chase rate slightly dropped but so did his zone swing. Robert needs to start guessing again and swing before he has fully recognized it. That isnt a great long term strategy but at least he would be all over the FB again even though he would look silly at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody was talking about accepting some losses after the clinch so we can set up our rotation for the playoffs. In what fucking universe does that mean letting one of our top 2 pitchers throw 119 pitches? I can’t believe Ricky’s a candidate for manager of the year.
