Jake Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I know the Sox stink etc etc, but Buehler pitched masterfully after the two walks. Didn't give Sox anything to hit with the possible exception of the pitch Sosa made the out on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole "patient at the first half of the at bat and then swinging wildly at a ball for strike 3" isn't a great strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Cannon sucking is a real blow to their ability to get through games all week. They have a bunch of starters who go 5 innings every time out, then Cannon gives you 3-4. No one has that many long relievers. I predict Tyler Gilbert gonna have to wear it today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Don't want LouBob swinging at 4, but he had nothing to work with beforehand and pairing the slider and sweeper like that probably explains the chase. Buehler does a great job of pinning LouBob's back against the wall and attacking his weakness. That pitch has gotten him a 40% whiff rate this season for what I suspect is a good reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I was a Cannon fan but have been feeling more and more bearish. Hope he can sharpen up. He'll be given a long leash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

46DidIt Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Why in the world would you have the infield drawn in, in double play situation with one out?? That should've been a tailor made DP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His control is just all over the place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Steve mis-diagnosed the third strike to Vargas. Vargas was looking 4-seam, "correctly" saw the ball was headed above the zone as you'd expect in that count, except it was a high sinker instead and dropped right into the top of the zone. Clever move by Buehler, although high risk if you think the batter was going to be willing to chase since he would likely run right into the sinker.
