    Yes, it is.

    If a hitter gets destroyed on a 2 strike pitch on the outside of the plate, if he makes contact at all, he is more likely to not be able to pull the ball.
  3. a700hitter
    i realize that, but I still think that it could make the pitcher pitch to the inner half of the plate to avoid that mistake hit going the other way.

    I caught once or twice in practice. It was hot with all that equipment and after the first foul tip hit me, I flinched on almost every swing. That doesn’t change the fact that Butler is not a major league caliber catcher. I had always assumed that his bat held him back, but it looks pretty clear that defensively he is also substandard.

    Will the weather be a problem for today’s game?

    Kimbrel had better break out of this Home Run streak that he has been on.
  7. a700hitter
    People are always laughing at you.
  8. a700hitter
    Butler needs a basket back there.

    Tying HR to a banjo hitter.
  10. a700hitter
    It is the basis of his workout routine.
  11. a700hitter
    Hembree is not missing many bats lately.
  12. a700hitter
    JD is pretty good.
  13. a700hitter
    It is becoming obvious why Butler is not a major league catcher.

    I am talking about an inadvertent ball hit the other way where a good pitcher just destroys the batter on a 2 strike pitch but the batter is good enough to just get some wood on it. I am not talking about consciously going the other way. I am referring to those situations where a hitter is beat on a pitch.

    If good pitcher like Sale gets 2 strikes on a hitter, I would adjust the shift to protect against it.
  16. a700hitter
    i just think that it takes away from the pitcher the outside pitch to a certain extent, especially when he has 2 strikes on the hitter. If you beat the guy and execute that pitch, you can get screwed. Even batters who refuse to go the other way can get beat and miss hit the ball the other way.
  17. a700hitter
    If the spray charts showed every ball pulled by a hitter, I would agree about the 'dead pull' hitter stuff, but there are usually some balls going to the other side of the field -- probably when a pitcher bet him on the outside of the plate with a good pitch.
  18. a700hitter
    Betances balked home the tying run in the 7th inning against the Rangers.
  19. a700hitter
    I am seeing blue skies in Baltimore in NESN as of now. Let’s play 2.
  20. a700hitter
    The shift does force the pitcher to pitch to the shift. IMO, it takes away the outside part of the plate at times. I can't see pitchers liking that.
  21. a700hitter
    BJ has a good curve ball.
  22. a700hitter
    OB recently busted Eck's chops about the replay rule. Eck doesn't like the replays to see if a guy comes off the base on a slide when he beat the tag. I thought OB cross examined him too much. Eck has a short attention span and he was getting a little defensive. It wasn't good broadcasting, and the game was being ignored.

    Aaron Judge was originally projected for a three-week absence after suffering a chip fracture in his wrist on July 26, though Yankees manager Aaron Boonetold MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch and other media that Judge is going to need more time. Judge hasn’t yet begun swinging a bat, and an examination on Thursday revealed that the fracture still hasn’t fully healed. Once the pain subsides, Judge and the team are planning on a fairly quick return to the lineup, as Judge has been otherwise able to stay in game shape and train with the game while on the DL. Judge told Hoch and others today that he doesn’t anticipate being out of action for much longer.
  24. a700hitter
    i agree, but is this game bullpen-proof yet?
  25. a700hitter
    Who are we going to use out of the pen over the last 3 innings?
