So there is a good example of why they are throwing more Curves and less Sliders. The Curve breaks bigger and if you leave it in the middle of the plate there might just be enough break on it for the hitter to miss it. Sogard did not miss that one but at least there is a chance. Leave a rolling Slider in the middle of the plate and there is not enough break on it and way more chance that the hitter is not going to miss and it is in a terrible location to boot....crushville especially with this MLB baseball.

Sliders.....if I were anywhere involved in MLB or any level of professional baseball unless my pitchers had Sale like sliders I would demand they forget how to throw it and come up with something else. Its day has come and gone. Could come back again just as the Curve has come back again. But it is a terrible pitch for this version of MLB.

He’s been the Red Sox best reliever. The problem is? They all suck

 

Yes they do.. and I’m tired of it. It’s not going to be fixed this year so.. if you score seven, you are supposed to win the game. With THIS pitching staff?? It’s just flat out embarrassing. The offense is being wasted.. it’s bro glossed away this year which is a shame.

Too many nights in a row for Giles. Really sort of a shame for him and that was yet another dink shot by a hitter. What a joke of a HR. Hardly got any of that and knocked it out of the park.

They will get an opportunity to blow 2 saves in the same game!

 

I think Hembree will have his first chance to close this season. Crossing fingers.

Betts hit 104MPH, 102, 102 tonight without anything to show for it.

 

I bet his BABIP is way down average.

What? It wasn’t like he hit a bloop. It was opposite field ball that was hit really hard

Can't really blame Montoya either. If I were him would I have come with Giles three nights in a row....Damned right I would.

 

Giles probably can't wait to get outta' Toronto before his arm falls off.

No it wasn't. Did you see what part of the bat he hit it with? Did you hear it? Did you see where it landed? No rocket ship...no HR.
