6/19 Games

Don't know if it's the ball or the stadium but the cheap homers are crazy in AAA. That ball by Leon was a no doubt homer but it's an xBA of .076 in MLB.

Charlotte is an absolute joke of a stadium.

So far it seems like Schultz has two strong pitches but once batters get to see it a couple times they don't have as much trouble handling them. The other offerings are rare and not really catching hitters off guard even when they are used rarely. I know they took the cutter away for now but that seems like the kind of pitch that would solve problems for him.

I don’t get it at all

FWIW, I think Schultz looked better than the box score will look. I didn't expect him to run a nearly 40% whiff rate across his arsenal, especially the sinker. Didn't get hit hard very often, homer was a cheapie, threw strikes. He got a couple big whiffs with his four seamer towards the end of his outing so I hope he can find a way to keep using that pitch effectively. He didn't get much out of his changeup but he really could have benefited from another pitch whether it was the changeup, a cutter, or something else.

He’s going to have to develop a change up or cutter (preferably both)

Sox now only 6 games ahead of the Rockies, yikes 

I don’t see where the wins are the next four series. Under 50 wins seems possible again. Wrong thread, but still.

He's already 21 yrs old.  Do yo think he'll have enough time to do that?

Probably yes.  Still, do you think he is overrated?

He’s just bad

I can't find splits since he went down for a reset or since he came back from getting hit, but I thought he's been better lately overall. I've been seeing rumblings that the Sox are going to call him up, too.

.235/.327/.471/.797 since the recall

Not great, but certainly better than where he was. I doubt he's called up this year unless he catches fire.

He's also had to stop playing for multiple days twice because of a HBP. Hard to find a groove.
