Way too many sliders today. This game plan sucks

Holy shit that was much needed. 

I love seeing a pitcher throw to a base with authority

Big time

Sox should light this Soto guy up.

Time to destroy this tigers bullpen

Tigers might want to skip to position players pitching, Soto is trash

I said this a few weeks ago, but I have no idea how his shoulder will hold up all year. Seeing that arm swing in person was jarring.

It would make a lot of sense if he is dealing with some shoulder fatigue or discomfort. He may be unconsciously taking slightly different arm paths through his motion to alleviate the pain, which is throwing off his mechanics.

A change up is useless if they are up there sitting change up

 Yes I agree.   I think the problem is he can't locate the fastball with velocity.

If true he should speak up. This year doesn't matter. If he needs an IL stint he should say so. 

Why teams throw Abreu breaking pitches at this point is a mystery to me.

I assume Hector will start one tomorrow.

Although he has zero power, he IS batting over .300.  Better than the .180 hitting stiffs that Renteria had batting 4th for most of the year.

All I was saying was if you have a player like Jon Jay batting cleanup you are most assuredly having a bad year 

Just got home and checked the box score and Skole hit an rbi double to the SS?  Misplayed popup?

I love to see a pitcher work fast and throw strikes with authority.  I like to see a batter approach an at bat with authority.  I like an outfielder to catch and throw with authority.  In short...AUTHORITY is a good word for a baseball player to think about when doing his job.  Be in charge of the situation.  Be confident!
