Should I assume this is sarcasm too, because I am assuming it's just a terrible take but whenever that happens you cry sarcasm so I want to check in.
Entering the day the White Sox had the 5th highest OPS in baseball.
Last year, on May 23rd the best offense in baseball faced one of the worst teams in baseball and one of the worst starting pitchers in all of baseball from the year prior. They were held to four hits and were struck out 9 times by that starter while walking 0.
The team was the Houston Astros and the starter was Lucas Giolito.
There is no point in changing how you view this team or their offense because of the results through 6 games because the 6 games mean very little.
Giolito lives up in the zone so him not going down isn't shocking; his changeup has caught a couple strikes at the extended bottom. He has gotten the same inside part of the plate expansion consistently for the most part.
196 times I believe he said, but could be wrong. Regardless, it happens. Quite often in fact lol.
You proclaimed it was their career highs as if it was some crazy performance; reality is, neither guy has made even 30 starts in their career.
Are you watching the same game I am? Pitching is dominating for both teams with a bigger zone.
Sox need to stop chasing balls - imagine a little bit of pressing. Someone needs to relieve the pressure from the balloon.
Fact is, umpire has a big zone away and low. Plesac has lived there. Sox haven't laid off and have been forced to chase things slightly off. A recipe for good pitching performances... as we are seeing.
LOL at career high.
This was Zack Plesac's 12th career start and Civales 22nd? I believe. So yes, it's been their "career highs" in less than 2/3 of a regular season.
They had a man on second base and hit a ball 105 and 108. What do you think the expected outcome in that scenario is 0 runs?
Yesterday they left 10000 runs on base. Do you think driving in runs is a skill and not luck?
It's been weird that the Indians have attacked Tim with off speed stuff away. He killed that last year and has hit it this year. Whats even more odd is how bad he looked on it there.
