This guy has no breaking pitches.

 

They don't seem to have much pitching of any kind. No wonder the place is so quiet. Imagine 140 or so more games as a Twins fan watching these guys? Brutal.

Hardly anything on either side - pitching or hitting - in the higher minors. Sano and Rosario are probably a long way off. Bill Smith was brutal as a GM.

Geez Clay why don't ya' just place it on the guys bat?

 

Beckett is the only guy on this team with a really good cutter so I don't know why the rest of them are so darned cutter happy.

Lester got the best cutter, then he start to throw too many and lost control of his other pitches.

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good... that last half inning for Buch was one of those times. Hopefully he gets his s*** together going forward cause his luck is going to run out quick if he doesn't

Lester's may be better than Beckett's but Beckett uses his way better than anybody else on the staff and it is probably close to Lester's. So close it might be debatable whether Lester's is that much better.

 

The cutter is a very difficult pitch to hit if you have the right complimentary pitches and you know how to use it. I think Beckett is more successful using his cutter than any of the other Sox starters.
