maxjusttyped Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) Kershaw is the first pitcher since 1961 to have multiple starts of being perfect through 7 in the same season. Too bad he hasn't been able to finish one off, but it's cool to see him still dominating like this. Edited July 16, 2022 by maxjusttyped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wants to play for a winning team that likely advances to the playoffs rather than wait out a rebuild for the next 3-5 years? Or he watched with a vested interest the Harper and Rendon FA sweepstakes?

maxjusttyped Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 There are plenty of hitters in the Sox org who would benefit from taking a similar approach to reworking their swing that Carpenter did over the off-season.

Him having this resurgence is a pretty remarkable player dev story. https://nypost.com/2022/06/07/matt-carpenters-rebuilt-yankees-swing-came-with-the-help-of-new-eyes/ The whole idea of being a push hitter just simply does not work for certain hitters. Jose Ramirez went from MVP candidate to near replacement level because he stopped trying to pull the ball in the 2nd half of 2018 and the first half of 2019. Vaughn, Eloy, and Robert are all seemingly suffering from similar problems. They look amazing when they pull the ball but more often than not end up sacrificing power for contact when they look to hit the ball the other way. Mostly fastballs too. On the other hand, Tim Anderson is at his best when he does push the ball the other way. As he ends up rolling over more often than not when he pulls the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Cowherd must have read conspiracy theories about Bulls/Sox spending conmingled by JR lol. How about a far simpler one? Great weather, no competition for sponsors since they lost both the Clippers and Chargers. Only game in town, like Packers or Bills.
