Feeky Magee Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Nice start from Jake Sanchez: 7.0 IP, 5H, 1ER, 0BB, 6K. ERA of exactly 3 on the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 How do you give up 8 BB's in 5 innings?? Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 1, 2014 -> 09:00 PM) How do you give up 8 BB's in 5 innings?? Wow. I think it's called being afraid to put the ball over the plate because then the hitter will hit it very hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ultimate Champion Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 QUOTE (daggins @ Jun 1, 2014 -> 06:23 PM) EJohnson - no hits, 7BB, 1K thru 3 Has a high profile guy in our org flamed out like this before? Like, a top 100 prospect just not able to find the strike zone at all? There has to be something wrong with him right? Can't remember the last time that happened but we did get someone from the Angels that did the same thing, Reckling IIRC, pretty sure he's done. It happens. You never want to hope for an injury but I hope there's an injury with Johnson because otherwise it's not good at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I can't get my head around what is going on with Johnson. I'd like to see some video, see if anything has changed mechanically. The loss of velocity may or may not be injury-related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Rick Ankiel completely lost the strike zone, but it wasn't due to losing velocity. Not sure how much of this situation is physical and how much of it's psychological, but it seems the physical problems are leading to psychological ones in this case as he's going steadily downhill/backwards.

Dick Allen Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 I would think if Johnson was hurt, the Sox wouldn't keep trotting him out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, assuming they know for sure. Sometimes they don't. Erik could be hiding an injury, which is stupid but it happens. More likely he's got a "dead arm" or the like, combined with mental issues right now. Still puzzling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
