But I’ll play…name me a playoff team (other than TB right now) that hasn’t played bad at times. i can’t name one. Every team has had issues or injuries. But go ahead claim it’s all over. we will see your hyperbole next year. Thanks for letting me take the year off. Next time let me know my opinion so I can post it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet we keep trying to pitch around him with pitches that are too close to the plate. Those are basically strikes to Perez. The issue is not to throw him a fastball. If Cease cannot throw him anything else then you must walk him in that situation. This is ridiculous this guy alone has hit 4 homers against the Sox in this series, three of them 3 run homers. Give him the Barry Bonds treatment. TLR intentionally walked Nelson Cruz to load the bases with men on first and second, but not Salvy with men on second and third. When are we going to adjust, we look like the most stubborn and stupid team around. Edited September 5, 2021 by hankchifan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not given up on the season. The way I feel right now. I don't see them going far in the playoffs. I would love to be wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the confidence that we have give them, that they can beat us. Give up 4 homers to Salvy in 3 games shows them that we are stupid and beatable.

On top of his terrible D, he takes a third strike KO in his first at bat. Hope Engel gets back in soon, and we don’t see Goodwin starting again, regardless of matchups.

maxjusttyped Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 If you're going to pitch to Perez, never throw a fastball and never throw a strike. Kimbrel's approach to facing him last night was perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbrel's approach to facing him last night was perfect. Who is accountable for letting Salvy hit 4 homers in 3 games this series? When are we going to learn and adjust?. He had to be intentionally walked in the first. Set up a double play and avoid a potential 3 run homer, which became a reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) Perez vs. Sox: .309/.324/.647 Perez vs. Indians: .159/.245/.364 The pitches we throw him are pretty similar to how the Indians pitch him. Around 36-38% fastballs (let's not pretend the Indians don't throw him any fastballs). But here's the difference (first is Indians, 2nd is Sox) We throw him a lot more pitches near the outside black as opposed to off the plate and low. His hot/cold zones vs. the Sox is all red whereas he only has 2 hot zones vs. the Indians. It's all about execution.
