Abreu's numbers in high-leverage situations the last three seasons: 2019: .291/.348/.527/.876 (119 wRC+) 2020: .300/.400/.450/.850 (126 wRC+) 2021: .231/.450/.462/.912 (162 wRC+) He's actually improving every year. I know this is your schtick so whatever but at least make sure the numbers even somewhat agree with you before committing to the bit.

Wonder how the ump scorecard will look after this game

That third pitch was the exact same speed and location as the pitch before right down the middle, how did Collins not kill that?

Rodon throws much more slowly in the first inning so the Indians took advantage of that by being aggressive early, nice to see he's already ramped things up.

Means is a lefty right?

4 straight scoreless outings for Marshall

You needing to go out of your way to attack Mercedes at every opportunity whenever TLR gets criticized even when it's completely irrelevant is beyond pathetic.

He also could have just chased Baez to home plate and tagged him there and the inning is over, so many different ways he screwed up on that play it's impressive.

I think he's safe

I don't see his jersey move in the replay, I don't think he touched him.

100 mph!

It really is crazy seeing Rodon consistently hit 98 when it wasn't that long ago where he was struggling to hit 90.

Sox have the 2nd best wRC+ with RISP this season. https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=1&season=2021&month=29&season1=2021&ind=0&team=0,ts&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=2021-01-01&enddate=2021-12-31&sort=16,d

No problem with Yermin swinging, that ball was right down the middle.

I don't understand why you keep insisting that the Twins haven't already thrown at him. Why would they do it again?

Hmmm

Has there even been one player in baseball that has come out in support of LaRussa?

Personal responsibility like not expecting your opponent to stop trying to protect your fragile ego just because you've played a terrible game?

Ah yes, sportsmanship is when you send the message to your opponent that “We’re beating you so bad we don’t need to even try against you”.

So the younger generation are the snowflakes and not the old dinosaurs that get offended and throw childish tantrums over the most benign shit like swinging on a 3-0 count? Pure projection.

Yes I'll never understand why it's up to the players on the winning team in a blowout to sacrifice their stats.

You still haven't explained the reasoning why swinging on 3-0 is wrong but 3-1 is OK besides "just because".

FWIW, Sox rank 2nd in the MLB to the Rockies in UZR and 11th according to DRS. It's just that when they fuck up it's more visible so it seems worse than it is.

2nd to last according to what?

Lynn has had to throw something like 30 extra pitches over the last two starts because of the defense.
