pitch selection for Cease all season has been bad.  Not one fastball in that at bat.

Batters not chasing.  Taking apart fastballs and sliders.   106 EV. 

 

Another baseball killed by Paredes. 

game is over btw

the whole lineup minus probably Benintendi is gonna be trying to crush every pitch the rest of the game and TB will be all over that s%*#, expect another 12+ K game for the Sox

Cease getting hammered. Every out was crushed that inning

What happened to the occasional 98 mph fastball?

I'm not impressed with the Alex Mackay strike zone.

If he doesn't trust his fastball to get outs...there's trouble here Sheree. 

Throwing leather all over the field on hard hit balls this inning and still barely in the game at this point.

He looks terrible against LHP.  

I don't know how you assess terrible in that particular AB. He's been riding the pine maybe getting drilled on taking more pitches. That particular AB wasn't a good AB to start taking pitches and the one he took for a looking K was 98 on the edge. Still probably not a great idea to put him in against a tough lefty like McClanahan.

s%*# do it now. 

Maybe just play defensive half innings to speed up game? 

Cease ERA creeping up towards 4. Keeping his OF's busy. Nice catches by Colas and Robert.

I’ve seen just about every at bat he’s had against them and he’s totally overmatched

Easy outs

Lol even the Technical Director can't stand to be around this team anymore

After nine starts last year, Cease had barely averaged 5 innings a start and had a 4.24 ERA

He's not exactly killing righties either. Lots of soft contact. He's just been so swing happy and like all MLB swing happy players it's not helping him at all.

Still time to score some runs (Rays).

Hitting is also contagious. Everyone around you sucks, team sucks, harder for you to be good

April Scoreboard Watching:

• (9-14) Detroit 3 vs, Baltimore 0 (Top 5)
• Minnesota 1 vs. (6-19) Kansas City 0 (Bottom 2)
• (9-14) Washington 1 @ New York Mets 1 (Top 4)
• Los Angeles Angels 8 over (5-21) Oakland 7

 

Burger bomb

you don't see many free swinging GOOD players anymore in the MLB.  TA is the exception, seems like it's being exploited more the last two years than I've ever seen

all of our "core"  hitters are high OSwing% guys, all of them 

It's no homerun chain...but Ok.  Whatever works.
