imo you gotta sit on his breaking balls and fight off the FB, that's the only chance you have imo

then you're just a guess hitter

far better to sit on the fb and adjust

doing the opposite is impossible

this guy is going to have 300 Ks some season and maybe win a Cy Young

you can't give him an early lead

This feels like a loss.

His curve doesnt really seem that hittable either.

I’d imagine this is Newcomb last batter

Burke gave up 3 hrs last game in a couple of innings. He's not a panacea.

Why is Newcomb still in? Give Burke a clean inning.

Would love a good ol Sammy HBP here.

But not on a Williams fast ball

Sox were roughly 50 pct as a team challenging calls when hitting. Sam was around 44 pct

Predetermined Will said it was to face Adell second time

My guess is just to face Ramirez. Burke comes in after regardless my guess

Sam is a hot head. Sometimes thats a good thing. It also means he does stupid s%*# like that and also throw elbows for no reason.

I only remember him blowing challenges on calls that aren't all that close.

I think it was more so that he doesnt have any power from the right side since he returned from the hamate.

Venable need a a 20-man bullpen.

Cmon Sean. ..shutem down!

Hate using Burke here, but here we are.

Falling behind hitters

Darling asserting Murakami should have had that grounder in the first past Meidroth was dumb too
