It was a strike I was wrong, my apologies.  just rewatched it.

anyways, this team is boring, frustrating, and not really any fun to talk about and I've fallen into that trap of ruining a good sunday afternoon watching a shit team and arguing online.

go sox.

pitchtrax had it not even close bro, so stfu with that nonsense.  if you want to use pitch trax to tell me when balls are in the zone I'm going to use it to tell you when they aren't even close.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

that pitch was two inches outside, I don't blame him for taking it.  he sure gets rung up on a lot of questionable calls

It was INSIDE, and it was a strike

Pitch locations from Moncada's AB. Pretty well-pitched.

What am I missing? The ball is on the corner

I think that was from his 2nd at bat.  He swung at a changeup for strike 2 in his 3rd at bat

What's being expressed with the chart is that the typical strike zone (as it is called by the umpires) for left-handed batters does not typically include that pitch.

Manny Gonzalez's zone has been a dumpster fire all game

Are they issuing a warning or not?

Hawk wants us to drill one of these Astros.

Ugly 3-0 and 3-1 swings. Like the call by RR though

I don’t think they did, but if Correa would have taken any longer there, Altuve would have been leaving Chicago in a cast

Wtf is Welington doing. Nice energy boys 

The Sox have no chance to win this game. If they do, I won’t post until June.

Ballgame.

This team makes 2007 look like a contender.

Example of minor league caliber players going up against good major leaguers. 

Damn, does this mean Rondon isn't top trade bait?

The Sox are awful, and the Astros are f***ing awesome. Honestly I’d be shocked if they don’t repeat.

By the way, Hawk forgot to mention A-Rod again when discussing best RH AL hitters of the last 20 years again. Frank was great but if Hawk thinks he was a better hitter than Rodriguez, he’s an even bigger moron than I originally thought and that’s saying something. 

When the conversation changed to best hitter of all time, saying “I don’t care to meet him” when discussing Bonds seemed rather s***ty, as I’m sure the feeling is mutual and also that Bonds probably has no clue who Ken Harrelson is

Nice managing this inning...yikes

NIcky...is not a good outfielder.

Was hoping it wasn't just me.  Ball landed only a few feet over his head and his route was horrible.  Makes Melky look like he has great range.

I think Nicky and Davidson will battle for the DH spot for the next competitive team. Both those guys are in for their bats.
