Again less about results today and more just him being a two-pitch pitcher. Just not ready for them to pay him like an ace while he has a few years left on his deal. Some on here were acting like not extending him was the worst thing ever.

Well and having no starting pitching depth also

Not gonna lie, not upset they didn’t sign him to a huge extension.

Yep

Maybe Tony remembers Vaughn pitched at Cal and will use him

Nope it will be Vaughn

Good stuff

Eovaldi throwing 99, impressive

Seeing that stat Leury has started 10 of 17 games this year was a kick in the balls

Vaughn should play rest of the game for Leury. Let him get more reps in a game you likely use. Also wouldn’t mind an early replacement of Collins for Abreu.

I think you would agree with me that I’m not overly concerned with losing just this one game. It happens, but the concerning thing is if he doesn’t have his best stuff this year, it’s going to be a very long season for the team. Sox need him to be a reliable upper echelon starter.

Feels like it’s never been good in the majors

Goes back to a heck of a lot easier to sit on a change up if you know the fastball is flat

I really have no idea how they’re going to get close to covering 8 today with Kopech unavailable. Should be entertaining

He has no curve anymore

The diminished velocity is quite concerning

14 pitches and can’t even put away one of the easiest hitters to strike out

Leury going to pitch today for sure

Make him eat this

It has though, velocity is way down and he’s not even pretending to throw a third pitch.

My god Grandal, they’re obviously looking for the change up

This is embarrassing for Lucas. His stuff has regressed badly from last year.

And when they don’t have to worry about 95-96 fastballs or anything with spin

His fastball command was honestly awful the last half of his last game, but the Indians just didn’t capitalize

At some point he’s going to need a third pitch.
