Squirmin' for Yermin Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Javier is going to be in Cy contention this year. Tough righty. He might make us look ugly. I predict a Colas bomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spumoni Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Tough one today but yesterdays comeback makes it that much better if we can’t pull this one off. If we can I will be ecstatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 The back half of that Astros lineup is ass. Hopefully the bats get going a little more today and we don't have to pull one out of our ass again. Excited about this one, ill be sitting behind home plate. Hopefully we show out. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he has his new curve ball working today so they can't just sit fastball all game long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Ok you big beautiful bastard, time to exorcise some daemons in Houston and shove tonight. Walking out of Houston with a split would be huge IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Hopefully today we see a much better batted ball profile as Javier is more of a flyball pitcher. Our team crushed some balls yesterday, but hit them right into the ground. Look at these exit velocities from yesterday. We had 11 balls hit over 100 MPH yesterday, but all but one were 12 degrees or less. The only one at 20 or above was hit for a HR. I know it’s only one game, but it does seem like there is an effort to sell-out a bit of contact for power. Moncada in particular stood out to me as swinging super hard during yesterday’s game. Excited to see if this change in approach proves true, because it’s clear this team is filled with guys who can put the ball in the seats if let loose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EloyJenkins Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Last year would have been a black hole with our lineup. Now that we have true righty/lefty balance, i feel like they sneak out some good hits and Beni, Yaz and Colas all get an XBH today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KipWellsFan Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Good point about launch angle, but presumably there is only so much you can do against someone like Framber Valdez. And that one foul ball that Moncada bombed had a good LA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that one foul ball that Moncada bombed had a good LA. Expand Very true…Framber is not a good litmus test. The EVs are at least a promising start and we see more lift today. I’m optimistic with this coaching staff that they’ll eventually right the launch angle ship that Menechino caused to sink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yep. I love it, but also kind of like the couple early days off where you can skip a 5th starter and stick him in the pen for like a week and carry an extra bench guy instead of a lower bullpen arm.
