This strike zone sucks
-
He hit him hard the first time, so odds say he won't get a hit this time!
-
These guys still can’t separate from other teams. Every run is so critical.
-
And Kelly hits Duval on the first pitch
-
Yeah, I guess I should've added "lately".
-
This team hits a ton of homers. If they could get ANYONE on base they’d score like 7 a game.
-
Maybe Lynn figured it out
-
-
Andrus owes Santos a nice dinner
-
Elvis has the HR tonight but overall isn't doing it on either side.
-
Middleton making some mistakes and paying so far
-
That was solid. I really feel for James, even beyond thinking he's the best beat writer and it's a shame to lose him. You can tell how badly this affected him.
-
These guys get themselves out so easily
-
Honestly I wouldn’t know what to say either. The offense is possibly the worst I have ever seen, especially given the talent they have.
-
Bad, bad, bad game.
-
Lopez fastball velocity down 4-5 mph
-
It’s not even that this time. Sox are fouling off hittable fastballs for the first two strikes. I’m sure this guy has a good fastball but not THAT good.
-
All this guy is doing is throwing fastballs to get ahead then put away with off speed, and they still can’t do anything about it.
-
Most of the lineup can’t hit this guy’s fastball.
-
Glad I finally got through to them
-
Offense needs to get their s%*# together.
-
Still swinging at garbage
-
Doesn’t matter what Lynn does if the offense does this the rest of the game.
-
I was excited to see Frazier make solid contact and show patience at the plate for a bit. Now he can't hit fastballs.
-
And you would be wrong. There is a big difference between "its not up to the hitting coach to help him" and "it doesn't matter what the coach does if the player keeps swinging at every pitch". I think our coaching staff and overall instruction sucks, likely near or at the bottom of the league. That doesn't excuse the players from being accountable for bad habits and poor plate discipline. Like I said before, even the Rays would struggle to help a player who swings at everything.
