His cutter forced hitters into driving the ball straight into the ground. It takes luck to have a zero percent home rate. I agree his pitches had great movement, that said, there was obviously luck involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made up for it with that walk off though It's these kinds of plays that drive me crazy about Grandal. I hope he grows on me this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the fip fanboys must agree with that considering the entire premise of fip is Ks, BB and home runs is the only thing a pitcher controls. Try to find another pitcher with 9% fly ball rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chick Mercedes Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 (edited) Leury Garcia is just another guy that the Sox can’t seem to get out of the lineups, like Yolmer Sanchez and Delmonico. So anyway, what is the strategy having Garcia batting 6 and Robert 7? Edited April 2, 2021 by Fernando Tatis Jr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Im guessing it’s just Bundy has considerably worse numbers vs LH. ...but Leury isn’t good vs RHP so 🤷♂️ Leury seems like a fast starter typically thou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tray Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 The Angels have a great line-up. I think the Sox would compare to some degree if Eloy was in there. Anyway, the Angels are a tough team to start the season against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
