What just happened?

He's the poster boy for "why you trade relievers having an awesome year" when not contending

No a cutter is a slider with a narrower grip. The difference is speed and break. If its 87-88+ with shorter break its a cutter. I call everything 88mph or higher with that type of movement a cutter.

It's a cutter. Sliders don't go over 88 mph.

Yep. He's going fastball-cutter-changeup and that is fueling his success.

Moncada has stupid power.

Am I just seeing things or has Covey ditched the sinker? That could explain why he's pitching better.

BTW, Peggy Kuzinski's son also posted something to that effect and it's a pretty safe assumption he gets his news from his mom. She probably wouldn't let him post that if it wasn't common knowledge and had permission from her source.

Nice Post

And the ump basically took the bat out of his hands with that call. Moncada was spitting on balls all night and he swung at the high fastball because he doesn't know where the Umps zone is.

Abreu will be 33 next year and Colome will be 31. They don't fit our window. The guys we get for them can be flipped for guys we need when we need them. If they want to contend in 2020, they can simply sign someone

I really don't know what to do with Lopez right now

Very true

Agreed on both accounts. I really don't know if they're going to get anything for Abreu when he's sporting a .299 OBP

Everyone thought that about Giolito last season

Don't forget to throw a sinker that goes right into hitters happy zone

Ricky is waving the white flag

I think Cooper broke Lopez. He wasn't a top 40 prospect for no reason

I am 100% in agreement

Too many walks

I still trust the Sox offense vs. The Nats bullpen. They shut them down the rest of the inning i think it's ok. That being said oy.

He's looking like a AAAA pitcher

He's in the dugout with his thumb up his ass as usual
