Hernandez has fallen behind a lot, but almost always gets a strike with 2-0.

When will Lucas and Rodon start preferring Seby to catch for them as opposed to Collins?
-
8/4 Game Thread Sox vs Royals 7:10 1st pitch
Might as well just let Lucas wear this one for a few more innings. I don't think we're getting 5 runs off Hernandez.

Ugh, this one's over.

FWIW, Edward Olivares' home run had a .130 xBA. Lopez and Merrifield's hits had xBAs around .200. Lucas definitely got a bit unlucky last inning.

I actually picked up Hernandez in fantasy thinking something like this might happen...I'm actually not happy about it.
-

At least we hit it hard twice.

Yoan has tatoo'd the ball in his last 2 ABs and has nothing to show for it.
-

It helps that he throws 99

I knew we'd be screwed when I saw the Indians losing 4-0 in the first haha
-
8/4 Game Thread Sox vs Royals 7:10 1st pitch
Royals got 2 runs with 2 outs and nobody on. I bet we'd have trouble scoring 2 with the bases loaded and nobody out against Hernandez.

I guess Lucas was due for a shitty start. He was really good in July.
-
8/4 Game Thread Sox vs Royals 7:10 1st pitch
This feels like a 6-0 lead right now.
-
8/4 Game Thread Sox vs Royals 7:10 1st pitch
It was 50/50 there. We called nothing but change ups and fastballs that AB I think. No sliders.

Does TA get that if Yoan doesn't tip it?
-
8/4 Game Thread Sox vs Royals 7:10 1st pitch
Pitch selection has definitely been an issue this game so far.
-
8/4 Game Thread Sox vs Royals 7:10 1st pitch
He was looking for the change up.
-
8/4 Game Thread Sox vs Royals 7:10 1st pitch
Much better velocity this inning from Lucas.
-
8/4 Game Thread Sox vs Royals 7:10 1st pitch
Nice changeup
-
8/4 Game Thread Sox vs Royals 7:10 1st pitch
You just gotta wait Hernandez out. Either he'll walk you or you'll run him out of the game by the 4th inning on pitch count.
-
8/4 Game Thread Sox vs Royals 7:10 1st pitch
This guy's breaking stuff is nowhere near the zone.
-
8/4 Game Thread Sox vs Royals 7:10 1st pitch
Welp, that totally would have been a double play had Hernandez not advanced on the wild pitch.

Jose against a sinker baller who throws 99 with a guy on first...what could go wrong?
-
8/4 Game Thread Sox vs Royals 7:10 1st pitch
Cesar had the right idea.
