Has Molina lost fastball velocity or something? He was supposed to be a 92-95 guy with movement

 

89-91, I believe

Probably see Castro and Hernandez before Molina.

Flowers takes so many strikes, only to swing at balls. No way can I see the Sox giving him the starting nod next year.

Just like Lilli needs starts against lefties.

With the mood the way it is, 92 becomes 89. If we start going good and everyone's happy 92 becomes 95. It's the way of the internet.

Of course, as I'm sure you've seen me rant about.

sorry man, i didn't realize part of sox fandom was being a homer who supports every move the sox make. my bad

At least Axelrod can occasionally miss a bat.

I like how Axlerod changes speeds. Pitches like a veteran. Keep's them off balance. In out up down change speeds.

Axelrod taking care of business with the bottom of the order, but Flowers f***s him over

It's my one beef about Ventura.

Wow that's pretty sad. Seemed that KW was near certain he was going to be on the big league squad this year.

I don't see a reason to rush Molina up, though as always we have to concede that we aren't scouts and we aren't keeping tabs on him like the front office is

As long as he has movement, that's fine

Two biggest positives so far have been giving hitters the 3-0 green light and doing a great job stressing holding runners.

Two biggest negatives so far is handling of closer position and his use of Lillibridge/Flowers.

 

He'll improve on those negatives as he gets experience.

Axelrod did a really good job of hitting his spots that inning.

Maybe this is the start of an extended run for Lilli at 3rd though I doubt it.

That inning was a nice recovery by Axelrod. When can locate and change speeds working around that plate he can be very effective. He doesn't have the great fastball but they claim speed isn't everything.

Axelrod has had multiple chances to crumble like you'd expect from a young guy, but he's kept pitching well each time

Too bad Eric Chavez is hurt, I know Kenny is still trying to get him :lolhitting

Don't swing at inside sinkers, people doing that is the only reason I had a baseball career
