Ok Mize must have been off a bit mechanically....fastball is back. 

Robert needs a day off

No. He's not.  Yes.

He's been at 95 or 96...so it's pretty clear he's throwing two different fastballs.   So then it simply comes down to spin rate, location and short vs. long arm action/perception of how fast the ball is getting in on the hitter.

Still can't get any consistency with that slider...just doesn't throw it enough for it to be more than an average or slightly below average pitch.  It's the curve that really should be his 3rd weapon.

 

CLE at MIN delayed.  Can't do anything but help the White Sox, no matter what happens.   Would prefer to see the Twins lose, though.

how did robert get such a great read on that, my goodness, that was not an easy one to take a step in right away.  he's a natural in CF.

Very quick inning!

I’m literally addicted to his defense.  

that was exactly the inning he needed, nice!

Quick 123 3rd for Gio.

The crazy thing is that he was regularly playing LF for the Cuban team when they really started honing in on him...would like to know the name of the CFer the Cuban manager had chosen over him, but it was undoubtedly an "established veteran" type.

Would love an 150 minute 2-1 White Sox winner tonight. Looks like everyone wants to play a quick one tonight.

I'd take that.

mazara hits a crazy amount of weak ass foul balls.

Mazara fouls off another first pitch fastball to left.  It’s amazing how often he does this.

 

not even close on 90 top of the zone.

See the video in the post above^

That's the argument? That video? Dude, Santana had 3 straight years where his WHIP was under 1 and his WAR was above 7. Think about that. Giolito is really good, but Santana's changeup was absolutely incredible.

With a lineup like this we need Madrigal hitting in the 2 hole and Eloy further down in the lineup.

it's an automatic out playing Sanchez.

Yolmer??

Never thought that I’d say that I miss Luery Garcia. That selfish head 1st slide really hurt us, I think the failed Mazara experiment would be over by now if Luery didn’t get hurt. How bad can Vaughn be in RF? We have multiple very good late game defensive replacements as well 

oof.  you miss good pitches to hit mize will find the zone, at least tonight.
