15 hours ago15 hr Favorite misconception is that the elevated breaking pitches don't move. Usually, they do. Statcast shows that home run ball moved exactly the average amount for Fedde's sweepers. Problem was throwing it right down the middle.

15 hours ago15 hr I'm not upset with Fedde still being out there given that he was doing fine and the pen isn't exactly deep

15 hours ago15 hr If one of Mune, Colson or Vargas hit a HR the rest of this game Sox win 🍀Beni put it up in the wind. Didnt quite carry it out. Edited 14 hours ago14 hr by CaliSoxFanViaSWside
15 hours ago15 hr Just now, fathom said:You’re also going to be able to drive higher pitches better when you don’t have to go down and get themOne interesting thing is breaking pitches at the very top of the zone tend to perform pretty well, much like other pitches on the various edges of the zone. They're aided partly by looking like they will miss high. I think we will see some more pitchers trying to grab strikes with the higher-than-high curveball in particular. But middle of the zone is pretty much always bad no matter what you're throwing. And yeah part of the point of same-handed breaking pitches is that it ends up in a place that you can't possibly reach so it doesn't really matter whether the batter sees it "correctly" since they can't possible make contact without throwing the bat.

15 hours ago15 hr Just awful at bats with RISP. I can’t wait until all these slap hitters are gone. Out with Quero, Meidroth, Ant and Acuna. Welcome the likes of Teel, BMont, Bonemer and Roch.
15 hours ago15 hr Hard for me to complain too much about Chase's overall level of production at the plate but he definitely looks caught in-between. I think he's got a small dose of what's afflicting Quero which is that the Sox have encouraged him to make some tweaks to find some more power but he's not seeing any benefit from it...while getting some of the downside in the form of added whiff and less bat control.
