2 hours ago2 hr I get that Schultz is young, etc...but damn if he has shown ZERO command and pitch versatility so far in the bigs.
2 hours ago2 hr 2 minutes ago, Jake said:Both of those sweepers were well located and had the usual, very big break that his sweeper gets (as measured by Statcast). It's either predictable in the count or he's tipping it.Those weren’t well located at all

2 hours ago2 hr Going to have to make a trade...even if it's just a 4/5 veteran on an exploring contract.

2 hours ago2 hr 3 minutes ago, fathom said:Those weren’t well located at allPretty close to textbook. Other one was on the lowest edge of the zone but a couple inches more towards the middle. In practice you're rarely going to do better than that in the zone. Real question is why are the hitters so ready for it? Probably not worth it for him to keep using it against righties right now since they're having such bad swings on his fastball/cutter/changeup.
2 hours ago2 hr I figured Boston would be tough this series as they’re playing their best ball this year.
2 hours ago2 hr 3 minutes ago, fathom said:Need to completely reshape his breaking ball.Just doesn't have the crispness/snap on his pitches...or the dramatic speed differentials from fb to curve and back like Taylor gets.Not hiding the ball well either with that delivery.

Either backdoor or back foot.
