Timmy U Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Sox really like to swing out of the zone, don’t they? Maybe make Thome hitting coach? Pass on some of that good Charlie Manuel knowledge? Seriously, anyone but Menechino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand He likes to reach for pitches. He's not any good at pulling his hand in unless he gets a juicy floater inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly without a juiced ball & a humidor in every park Expand Yeah, either the MonStars snuck into the Sox locker room and stole their talent, the entire team is coincidently all in a power slump at once, OR there is a common denominator.

Tomtom Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Their ace was staked to an early lead in game 1, and shuts the door with a CG 95 pitch outing. Our ace is staked to an early lead and is also shutting the door, but he will be lucky to get through 6 innings! Let’s hope the bullpen doesn’t blow it.
