11 hours ago11 hr Unless they have figured out that literally all of our pitchers are tipping pitches, I've never seen so many pitches sat on correctly in my life. Every pitcher, seemingly every pitch. Breaking ball low, sit on 100 mph fastball the next pitch. The tying hit in the 9th was particularly egregious. I thought I was going crazy but there is a lot of commentary online about it at least, including from our own James Fox

11 hours ago11 hr My friend has been accusing the Brewers of this since last year (basically what Jimmy said). Common denominator: Caleb Durbin?

11 hours ago11 hr They're on a 31-5 stretch after looking like guaranteed sellers, literally a historic run.

4 hours ago4 hr 7 hours ago, WhiteSox2023 said:No, the White Sox are just Meadiocre.To me, it's more that the Sox pitching isn't great and it's gotten smacked around by good offensive teams. Sox also have a stark home vs road split, and they're offense is 10 wRC+ points better at home than on the road. We wouldn't call them cheaters though, but teams who cheat tend to do so in their own ballpark.The Red Sox have the opposite split, they've been a much better offense on the road than at home. I'm skeptical that some team has an elaborate road cheating scheme.
3 hours ago3 hr Listening to the game testerday DJ was shocked how every Red Sox batter was able to foul off every high fastball, no matter how much velocity it had on it.
2 hours ago2 hr If they are able to keep up this level of play til the end of the season, I might start becoming more suspicious. These guys are literally unbeatable and yes, they do bat as if they know what is coming. And their pitching has been really good.

1 hour ago1 hr This is an incredible thread.Sox get swept, so the other team must be cheating. Brazoban throws his sinker low in the zone because that's where sinkers go, guy goes down and gets it... cheating. I'm having a hard time understanding the logic here. Struggling to understand how it's cheating to be looking for a low sinker from a sinker baller who throws 51% sinkers and hitting it.
1 hour ago1 hr The Red Sox are rocking a BABIP over .500 on this heater. Nobody can be that lucky, not even if you're cheating. Their luck will start to average out.
1 hour ago1 hr In 2002 Oakland went 10-17 in May, 21-7 in June, 24-4 in August. They had a 20-game winning streak and also a 16-1 streak.Oakland lost in the ALDS best of 5 to the Twins 3 games to 2.

Something stinks here.The below is a heat map of where Brazoban has thrown his sinker in 2026. The bottom image is the pitch in question that was hit. You'll notice it's almost like the Red Sox just have a.... scouting report!
