I wonder if Grandal is leery about calling the slider there with the problems he's had behind the plate?

8 pitches, 8 fastballs. I’d say yes and it’s another thing that fangraphs doesn’t pick up in rating Grandal a plus defensive catcher. It’s not a coincidence Sox pitchers have a higher ERA when he catches the last two seasons. He handcuffs his pitchers with runners on.

Hendriks is a fastball guy..he likes to throw fastballs down your throat. I know sox talk is obsessed with pretending grandal holds pitchers hostage with what they throw but they don't. Hendriks is a vet. If he wants the slider he throws it.
