Mlb extra innings or mlb.tv? Looks like they’re going to extras. Naylor has never had a defined defensive position because he’s just not that good no matter where you stick him.
At least the Reds are mounting a late comeback against the Indians.
There used to be a time 2-3 years ago where the White Sox would consistently challenge late, too.
Not even “Hanigar the Horrible” would help right now...Haniger would be leaving first place for last, haha.
With Lewis, Kelenic and Rodriguez coming, the M’s could start to make things interesting, but losing Paxton so early was a huge blow.
Very simple to have overhead cams that directly track the pitch its entire path across the plate...then you simply need to paint an electronic zone for top and bottom vertically. Can have two people monitoring simultaneously.
Marwin Gonzalez?
There’s the thing about Heuer, it shouldn’t be that easy to take out a high fastball unless you were just sitting on pitch and location.
You’re not going to win against Boston with only 3 hitters in your lineup with over a 700 ops.
The Dodgers and Padres struggle to find more than a couple of hitters to insert with less than that same number.
Red Sox really would be needing to rebuild if the White Sox had Devers now as their cornerstone.
Benintendi fell off the map, Pedroia got old. JD Martinez slowing down as well, at least until this year. Bogaerts has been their most consistent player but lacks range and is never going to be a 30 homer type of guy.
Or Yermin. But Mercedes really had some strong minor league numbers that weren’t Charlotte or walk/OBP inflated. Never has been a .270 or .280 guy, though.
Even Andres Gimenez would be considered a power hitter on the White Sox...
By the way, White Sox 20 no hitters, only Dodgers with 23 ahead of them in MLB history. Would have thought the Yankees.
Abreu taking some really wild swings there trying too hard for a homer instead of hitting an oppo single.
That’s the problem, hitters putting too much pressure on themselves not trusting the next man up.
By that definition, Moncada doesn’t fare well, except 2019. Collins will never do that obviously, and possesses nothing of Yoan’s talent, either. His bat speed has been an issue from his time in the minors.
