elrockinMT Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Great game by Gio. That second run by Houston was caused by poor d. Anemic Sox offense did not help the cause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just competing and wanting to win. Knowing he missed an opportunity. I'm sure if you asked him - he'd be fully aware that this was a big positive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilJester99 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 I have to imagine since every one of the Sox catchers do it.. the Sox have to be teaching backhanding the ball.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 That was an absolute perfect breaking ball by Soria on 3-2 there to Altuve. Ain't nobody hitting that. Straight at the front shoulder to freeze the legs and quick action down to the plate. Jose Altuve, Mike Trout or Mickey Mantle... it's over Johnny!

fathom Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) Does Yoan have a hit against a closer this year? Desperately needs to be more aggressive in those situations. Edited July 8, 2018 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has weird variation in his stats. .290 OPS in the 9th inning. .544 OPS in "late and close" situations. But... .814 OPS in high leverage ABs. .910 OPS in tie games. Of course, all of these are a small sample size. Still interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the season he had last year, I'm sure he would have loved the chance to be a closer instead of like 5th or 6th on Astros depth chart. With relievers, it usually comes down to money offered more than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
