If I he's talking about that pitch in the zone where the catcher had to move his glove from low and away to up and in. Framing has nothing to do with a pitch like that. Framing usually only applies to when a pitch ends up close to where you wanted it to be. If a pitcher completely misses his spot framing has nothing to do with the call since he has to move his glove so far so fast and its impossible to frame a pitch like that .

Boston's staff has been good and they will add Sale. The Yankees staff has gotten better. Those teams are certainly feeling pretty good. The Sox have like 4 top 25 starters by fWAR. Giolito and Rodon are both hitting a rough patch right now, it happens. Yankees fans were on tilt about Gerrit Cole until a few weeks ago. Even when their rotation isn't on the COVID list, Cole and Montgomery are their only 2 reliable starters. If we're concerned over Giolito and Rodon, how would you be feeling about Jameson Taillon as a #3 starter? Andrew Heaney? Come on. Houston's rotation is very good, but Framber Valdez has regressed hard over the last month. Odorizzi and Greinke BOTH have FIP's over 7 in the second half, etc. Of course those teams still have very good rotations. But so do the White Sox. We're all hyper focused on our own team so we don't realize that other teams players go through struggles too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight isn't the night to defend him, but if you aren't going to pay Lucas, good luck ever retaining a #2 starter or better in their 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That already cost us a win with the Hendriks fast ball. Now cost us two runs. Don’t let Perez beat us on another fast ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I think we all know, or at least most of us can acknowledge, if Collins didn't hit from the left side of the plate, he'd be out of organized baseball at this point, or well on his way out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
