fathom Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 QUOTE (Jake @ May 6, 2012 -> 06:39 PM) Has Molina lost fastball velocity or something? He was supposed to be a 92-95 guy with movement 89-91, I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ May 6, 2012 -> 10:36 AM) Flowers takes so many strikes, only to swing at balls. No way can I see the Sox giving him the starting nod next year. Just like Lilli needs starts against lefties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 I like how Axlerod changes speeds. Pitches like a veteran. Keep's them off balance. In out up down change speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 I don't see a reason to rush Molina up, though as always we have to concede that we aren't scouts and we aren't keeping tabs on him like the front office is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 6, 2012 -> 06:45 PM) It's my one beef about Ventura. Two biggest positives so far have been giving hitters the 3-0 green light and doing a great job stressing holding runners. Two biggest negatives so far is handling of closer position and his use of Lillibridge/Flowers. He'll improve on those negatives as he gets experience.

elrockinMT Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 That inning was a nice recovery by Axelrod. When can locate and change speeds working around that plate he can be very effective. He doesn't have the great fastball but they claim speed isn't everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
