Convenient. There goes Taylor.

102mph pulled in the air and that's the AB we want to talk about no power

He has 4 homers in 240 at bats. His bat path isn’t good at all.

Meh if the Sox don't win it in 9, ain't winning in extra innings

Taylor is burned now, and nothing is trending the right way for this one at all.

They have 6 outs to get a run. We have 3 . Not great odds for a win tonight. I'm heading out for a while. Good luck.

Seriously. It’s 1.5 innings. Play on and delay it when the rain arrives.

well Taylor won't be coming back. We are fucked, we have no pitching

Maybe it’s a good thing long term

I don't think I've ever seen a fucking rain delay where there isn't even any rain.

206 ABs. You’re counting walks.

He'll be available tomorrow at least.

Interesting thing to me is he's been a lot less productive from the right side but some of the underlying metrics would make you think he'd be better from that side. Swings harder, has better bat angle at point of attack. He claims he feels better/more natural from that side but I think he's easier to pitch to as a righty

Thanks to that idiot Brazoban fro walking the tying run. This game could've been called with the Sox on top

They aren't calling the game in thay scenario. This is purely to get Taylor out.

Has a pro hitting coach told me they don’t like how he sets up. Too much movement prior to point of contact. You could really see it his first two at bats.

If Brazoban had done his job, Taylor would still be waiting in the bullpen 🤬

He doesn't have 240 ABs (maybe you're looking at PAs?) , and Vargas had a very similar 5 HR in 206 ABs 2 years ago. No idea what the rush is to write Braden off a couple months in.

He seems to be streaky but it doesn’t last long in either direction. Seems like he gets hot for a few then cold for a few then hot for a few.

I'm assuming we come back out with Richards.

Cubs pulling this BS to get Taylor out. They could get through this half inning.

Yup, rain still hasn't started.

I feel like he likes to let the ball get really deep too. With that and his flat bat path like you mentioned, seems like most of his balls in play are low liners because of it.
