fathom Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 You never give a hit and run sign on a 3-2 pitch. You might give the runner the green light, but the hitter is up there trying to get on via hit or walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 QUOTE (Chris Sale @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 09:52 PM) If it was, it means that Soto isn't taking signs, which opens another set of manager concerns. That being said, you're right --- probably was just a double play avoidance tactic. Full count it is a very common move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harkness99 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 two or three outings in a row that Putnam has tight movement. Looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feeky Magee Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 09:48 PM) It wasn't a hit and run Well that just strengthens my argument. If it's merely to stay out of the double play, that means you're expecting Soto to behave like he does in a normal at-bat. And Soto swings just 40% of the time, puts the ball in play about 35% of the time, and gets groundballs on his balls in play just 40% of the time. Therefore, he hits a groundball on roughly 6% of pitches. He gets hits on about 10% of pitches. He takes called strikes about 27% of the time and swinging strikes about 10% of the time. Therefore I have the chances at a groundball or hit at about 16% and a strikeout at about 37% of the time. Adjust somewhat for a 3-2 count if you want to but it's not gonna make up the difference.

OmarComing25 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 He's struck out the side a bunch of times already this year, he's been nasty. Gave up a few HRs early on but other than that has been straight filth. Last year his K/9 was 7.6, this year it's 13.7. Big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feeky Magee Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Putnam is a good reminder to trust AAA numbers. Sox only got him because of inflated ERA numbers in brief MLB tryouts despite really good results at AAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
