Almost as if he hadn't been playing due to some virus he caught. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero patience Any time I ve seen them take the 1st pitch I know at least 2 that looked low were called strikes. That doesn't help when the ump is giving a sinkerballer the extra low strikes.

The 5 hardest hit of the game, yeah. That doesn't necessarily mean those 5 had extremely high EV. There haven't been many hard hit balls all night for either team. Houser is simply pitching his nuts off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) Gamel/Hader=ZZ TOP or 80's Hair Band, we'll go with Poison or Ratt. Back in high school, they were called "dirtballs," South Wallers (cutting class/smoking) or Trench Coat Mafia.

Two sinkerballers makes for a pitchers duel. You can't win if you don't score. Keuchel has been good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 The crazy thing is the White Sox already saw Houser in the exhibition game in Summer Camp. Usually that works to the hitting team's benefit the 2nd time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
