It was?  You had a pitcher hurt because of it

Meanwhile Fulmer is injured.  And ReyLo is lucky to be ok after those hacks...

National league baseball at its finest 

NICE!

Oh, and it was an automatic out in a big spot.  Pitchers batting will always be stupid. 

Leury!!!!

LEURY GARCIA GRAND SLAM

5 spot

All 91 mph fastballs are not created equal. A 91 mph fastball with elite spin can still be incredibly effective. 

C'mon Fathom you know better than that. It isn't likely for a pitcher to even reach the majors throwing in the low 90s without elite spin. 

Exactly 

Leury with the grand salami. sign him to a long term deal TODAY

I'm to the point where velocity without spin data is useless. They must be used in tandem. One without the other means nothing.

Big inning for Lopez

Spin stat has certainly become a major issue. Sometimes it’s difficult to understand just how important it is 

The Leury-Madrigal table-setter show will be fun to watch in 2020.

Do the numbers since the ASB back the results for Lopez? I'm too lazy to look it up right now.

Awesome to see. Lopez getting his shit together really makes life easier for the Sox this offseason. They'd only need one pitcher then, and they could bring back/in someone like Nova for insurance.

Glad to see Lopez really turning it around in the 2nd half.

There might be a chance the Pirates don’t pick up Archer‘s option. He is their James Shields.

Would love him on a prove it deal.

He is still my adopted prospect so I have a special place in my heart for him. Now we don't do adopt -a-prospect anymore.

Abreu blown away again by 91

I was thinking nova would be great to have around in Charlotte the other day. Maybe even as a swing man
