To me it looks like he's protecting his shoulder. Really low release point from the OF.

Always looks kind of like he's shotputting it. Sometimes I'm surprised by the easy velocity he gets but you never seen him give himself a running start and blow it out. Not that big of a deal given how great he's been at actually catching the ball which is the far more valuable part of his D that was really undersold by the scouting reports.

Yea, time to burn one and play some vidya. we'll do it again tmr.

Offense needs to get their s%*# together.

This whole disappearing act every other game is getting really old.

Even in the games where they score a lot, seems like a huge chunk of the scoring comes from a single inning or 2.

Also, good lord Schultz, figure it out...

He’s just a strange athlete to me. Sometimes his swing looks like baseball wasn’t his primary sport growing up.

Part of the deal with yesterday's game is the Sox didn't really hit that well. Just had everything go right and lucked out by bunching their hits together. Of their 10-run games, of which there have been several, it was probably their worst one

I see what you mean although Tristan Peters really takes that prize for me as far as unnatural-looking movements go.

I was watching autistically on youtube the other day, a lot of elite throws from the OF and every single guy, whether that's 5-9 ichiro or 6-3 Vlad Guerrero is getting full extension horizontally, often leaning their center of gravity backwards before launching. Vlad and Bo would do it so well. You can't uncork a super long one without that.

Yea, and on the other hands Robert was the smoothest looking 2 WAR player of all time. It's a skill based sport largely, which we all tend to forget scouts and gms and fans alike.

Mune is heating up.

For swings specifically, have to give an honorable mention to Randal Grichuk

Wonder how many parks that is gone in.

Mune missed that one by just a little bit.

I'm sorry but I dont see the elite stuff that Schultz was advertized with.

I would package him in a deal for a good controllable starter.

I would too but who is it you package him with? Your not getting any kind of quality starter for Shultz and some no name.

I’d like to see the team put together another little run 6-7 game winning streak to put a couple game lead in place the rest the way against the Guardians but that’s not happening with the ups and downs we currently going through

If they can get a quality #3 starter for Schultz straight up or packaged with a no name I would do it tonight.

I know the game is out of hand but please stop talking about golf!

Does he think he’s facing Biden?

BMont should just hit lefty full time and figure out how to hit LHP.

Feels like both his and Hagen Smith's "stuff" have regressed.
