I'd never throw Jose anything other than junk away.

 

It seems like he will never be able to lay off those pitches consistently

I like all these weak ground balls Latos is inducing. Keep it up.

87 MPH fastball.

Abreu has that 6-3 swing going

3 up 3 down by Latos

Garcia with the spin move...whatever that was

Latos is pitching well.

7 in a row put down by Latos. Now comes the fun as he tries to make it through the line up a second time.

Interesting route there Avi.

 

Seems like if Latos is going to be successful he has to change speeds a lot, working so far

I would like runs.

87 MPH fastball.

If this was 15 years ago and the pitch speed wasn't on the screen, all anyone would be concerned with is the actual results.

He's getting his curve over and keeping the ball down.

Should have traded for Jay Bruce. 2 homers today. Hitting .500 on the season. On pace for one of the greatest seasons of all time.

You are the kind of fan who always thinks it's early in the season, IMO. Then eventually season is ova. Why do you care so much that some of us are negative? This team has sucked for several years now. Some of us are more impatient. Who cares ultimately?

I'm not really concerned with the speeds as long as it is working for him. Just posting so people know where his velocity is at. It has been has high as 91 in the first and 85 in the 3rd. If he can change his speed that much he can be successful

Their hitting seems very similar to last year so far.

 

What I'm really confused about is what Abreu is trying to do. He's swinging at some bad balls & making some un-needed out in scoring situations...

This kid looks like classic Garland, throwing bowling balls up there.

Sox are stuck in a ground ball rut.

Garcia somehow got that through

Valencia boots the ball.

That was an error

At least Avi is hitting the ball hard.

Because if you are negative now with the team 2-1 playing decently, what could actually make you happy during the season? First nitpick over who they keep as the 25th guy, and then when they do use the bench, complain they are using the bench. Every little thing. Why can't you just enjoy the game? It always comes back to but. The Sox won but, he's hitting well and looks like he's improved but, he is pitching well but, to each his own but to me that's kind of miserable.

He hit it just hard enough to make it slightly difficult. It's one of his ground ball specials though.

I don't think his arm strength is top notch right now, but I do think he really was a 90-92 guy his last couple of successful seasons.

All of Dick's contrarian posts, but really he is just concerned about our happiness.
