fathom

don't guess Yoan

wow, two clutch double plays in consecutive games! Great turn by Yolmer and Yoan

wow, what a meltdown by Rodon. How was no one up to start the inning?

Wait, you don't have to bunt there awesome job Timmy

Yoan!

Not a lot of downward movement on his slider. Pitching to contact with his fastball on inner half.

but he wasn't, if I recall.

dating back to the series with the Yankees at GRF, for some reason they have the book on Sox hitters where they take a ton of strikes and chase pitches out of the zone.

to be fair, one team is up there with the Cubs/Red Sox in terms of developing position players. The other team is just about the worst in baseball.

wow, that was not a good pitch

Shocking they didn't toss him after the Palka HBP

Not hard to watch this and see who the league wants to win

This umpiring crew is a joke. Two different strike zones.

thought for sure that was a hit. At least he made contact

-12.7 for a reason

Can't remember last time Avi actually got rewarded for busting it down the line.

walk for Madrigal, triple for Blake

might as well censor out what team is involved also

Good lord Engel is fast

That would be me who brought up Abreu's lack of clutch hits, and then located the high leverage stats. Agreed about Yoan, seems to have a much better strategy in crucial spots than if he's batting in an 8-1 game.

I'm all for tanking, but hard to argue about Yoan and Timmy having a big impact.

What I loved about the Yoan at bat is he didn't take the 2-0 pitch. He swung hard and did damage. He's been great with bases loaded.

biggest reason why Ricky and Steverson need to be canned the day after this season ends is Yoan is significantly worse now than when he came up last season in every single aspect.

I completely get the lack of power due to the injury, but you would think that one of him/Madrigal/Sheets/Rutherford would run into a ball (roughly 500 at bats combined between them since their last W-Salem homer), especially considering their home field RF fence is a joke. But hey, at least Omar has them perfecting their ability to bunt.

should have been sent to AAA a few weeks ago. Too late now, as nothing has changed with his approach. He makes strikes on the outer half look like they're 2 feet off the plate.
