I remember Vaughn went on a pretty big hot streak in 2021 when he steadied his hands more during his load. It sapped some exit velocity, but he was hitting the ball hard more consistently. I don't think Vaughn's problem was that he didn't hit for enough power, it was that his approach never improved. If he improves his approach, the power will come eventually when you start swinging at better pitches. Just another example of poor development by the Sox.

Soroka lost his command.

I'm astonished at how Vaughn manages to hit pitches that should be pulled hard to the opposite field this year. Like that's not a bad thing in certain situations, but he's doing it on almost every one of those pitches. It feels like he's late on the pitches on purpose.

We've seen Gavin produce for a whole month before, so I'll have to see him keep hitting like this for a bit longer before making a judgement. But he's clearly made some adjustments to how teams were attacking him, especially on outside pitches.

How do you pop that pitch up to right field? I feel like Gavin took whatever hitting talent Vaughn had.

Is Gavin actually kind of good now? He's going opposite field quite a bit and it's working for him.

Gonna be down to Korey Lee.

That looked like a gapper off the bat.

Swung right through a hanging sweeper.

Most obvious move imaginable.

Man Thielbar's been awful this year.

This umpire sucks

Well that was quick...

Eloy is such a waste of talent.

Jax's change up is so fast that it's basically a sinker.

I just can't trust Eloy in any kind of clutch situation.

Slider looked much better today.

Kopech throws a cutter now?

The Sox actually faced their 3 best pitchers and won every game, although luck was definitely on our side this weekend. It's hard to only win 3 out of 25 games. Only 2 other teams have done that in the history of the game. The luck was about to turn eventually.

Tommy Pham effect

He basically did that last night.

Marlins just lost. The Sox no longer hold the worst record in baseball.

Randy Arozarena couldn't believe they got swept haha

Sweep! Half of our wins are in the last 3 days lmao

Yeah I don't think we're competing next year.
