Nice hit by Rios. Better do a hit-and-run to avoid the DP.

Another ball that was killed, this time by Rios.

Wind has nothing to do with how the balls are flying so far. They are just ropes, and that is including the Sox in the first.

 

It's blowing out 15 mph to right. Beckham's double died, and barely hit the wall even though he cranked it.

with our luck we'd probably line out and get doubled off.

Rios running there.

Hittable in terms of location? Or lack of movement? Speed?

 

91-92 mph fastballs with no movement down the plate

Rios gets them that time.

Ha, the definition of BP. Hes usually around 94-96, right? Maybe he just needs a little more time to get back into pitching. I don't know. But there's no way hes gonna do well with that kind of fastball.

Just pathetic fundamentals there. Teahen had zero chance to pull that ball to the right side.

And of course Westbrook stays away from him, and Teahen hits it in front of Rios.

He hasn't been in the 95-96 mph range for a while.

He was 88-90 his last outing FWIW.

Not even close actually.

We continue to get set up by pitchers day in, day out.

Rios still at second...

And officially stranded.

runner at 2nd with no outs, and we can't advance him any bases.

Man on 2nd, no outs = no runs.

Not even close actually.

Obviously a little exaggeration, but for a guy like Peavy, that would be how he throws BP.

And then Pierre with a prevent swing on the first pitch. Westbrook has NOTHING on his pitches, and we still can't f***ing score. Nice DH we have today, isn't it? It's not good when Peavy has more power than Pierre does.

This offense is horrible i just wonder how long this will last for

37 pitches through 3 for Westbrook. What's the least number of pitches throw in two consecutive CGs? I wonder if this is even a recorded stat somewhere.

What changes can even be made? More Omar Vizquel? KW and Ozzie need to live and die by their acquisitions over the last 2 years. If those guys flop, then they need to be gone as well.

It is probably pretty low. IIRC pitch counts have risen in modern times by a decent amount.

I agree I dont know what they were smoking when they decide to go with Kotsay at DH in the number 5 hole game after game
