And they both dominated us!  That’s the point, bad luck & sequencing doesn’t change the fact we’ve had horrible approaches these past few games.  There really isn’t a debate here.

”20 swinging strikes only happened 170 times in all of baseball last season” - Jason Benetti one minute ago.

196 times I believe he said, but could be wrong. Regardless, it happens. Quite often in fact lol.

You proclaimed it was their career highs as if it was some crazy performance; reality is, neither guy has made even 30 starts in their career.

He was at 85 pitches.... why is he out?  We can't leave our #1 out there for more than 6 inning and less than 90 pitches?  Wow.

Because he had three weeks to get ready for a season?

Grandal is Swisher 2.0 so far

More of this huh? "So far." It's been 5 games. You knew (or maybe you didn't) that he's streaky but when he was signed I bet you loved it.

Are you watching the same game I am? Pitching is dominating for both teams with a bigger zone.

Sox need to stop chasing balls - imagine a little bit of pressing. Someone needs to relieve the pressure from the balloon.

I'm watching the game. Giolito has not gone low and outside much at all. The Indians while haven't scored have had guys on base and threatened. The Sox hitters are swinging at low and out of the zone and striking out with few hits.

Yeah, and its a 2 month season.

The hitting is as bad as the starting pitching right now.  They have 2 walks in this series through 25 innings. 

Let's not forget the Indians built up some payroll flexibility this year dumping the Kluber contract...that's going to come in handy for a small market team with an unfavorable local broadcasting rights deal.

Giolito lives up in the zone so him not going down isn't shocking; his changeup has caught a couple strikes at the extended bottom. He has gotten the same inside part of the plate expansion consistently for the most part.

Yep. Protect the arm. He's gone about as far as he should for this point of the season.

Are you trying to make me feel worse?  Cause it is working

Sure. But the ump calling that low and outside strike that the Sox hitters can't hit, Indians hitters wouldn't be able to hit it either. However, more so the last couple of pitchers for the Sox haven't been as effective as Giolito and they didn't try it either.

That's what expanded rosters are for

Nice job Marshall.  Can we get him some runs please?

Holy shit, what a pitch from Marshall.

 

That inning was really nice.

He Gone!  Well done!

Pitching is stellar tonight. That Grandal guy sure seems like he knows what he's doing...

Nick M now electing to play.....this team needs a Kopech miracle.

Lol...nothing worse than someone who refuses to admit they were wrong and rather pick apart the wording of someone else’s sentence.  Plesac went 7 innings with 10 Ks, 0, BBs, & 3 Hs and you tried to blame it on “bad luck & sequencing” because of two hard hit balls that were turned into outs.  But by all means, keep focusing on the “career high” element of my statement as you clearly won’t admit you were wrong about this.

How many fucking pop outs tonight??  Goddamn. 

First pitch hunting 

Last 4 guys saw 9 total pitches.  Team has a ways to go. 

Did Benettii just say, “throws from anal high” ???

this is gonna come down to an engel dong, isn't it

Lol
