caulfield12 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Mendick looks really locked in. Who'd a thought that he, Leury and Adam Engel would be leading an offense, let alone at the big league level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 1 minute ago, SouthWallace said: Mendick lays off the junk and gets a pitch in the zone. It’s not rocket science If you've seen plesacs overlay, without seeing the spin it might as well be impossible to figure out if he's throwing a fastball or curve which is why you saw a swing like mazara in the dirt.

The remarkable thing is that they're still managing to at least tread water with sub - .100 with RISP. Imagine if they get hot again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why the slider is so tough. It was the 93 mph fastball he was late on to start that AB that doomed him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the release point is the exact same, and you can't pick up the spin, that curveball was a fastball to him. That's the only way I can explain it. Usually arm angle or speed or etc is slightly different. Plesac has mastered the deception. Ill try and find the image.

caulfield12 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Luplow's something like 0/20, Taylor a defense-first catcher and DeShields. Battle of the pitchers so far today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Rob posted one today actually haha, sweet. those balls are traveling on the exact same plane from the exact same release point. If your brain identified fastball that's how you swing at a ball that bounces 3 feet in front of the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
