Farrell being Farrell.

I am very happy about Porcello's outing yesterday, because he did enough to win. As I posted before the game, he could give up a couple of long balls and we would still have a chance to win, and that is what he did. If I am the GM, I would nevertheless be concerned that I have a pitcher who is a sinkerball pitcher who hasn't been able to pitch down in the zone since we got him. It doesn't bode well for him.

i'll take a win anyway we can get it, and i fully expected him to give up a couple of long balls. It is just surprising to me that since we got him, his sinker has been a real stinker. The guy used to live low in the zone when he was a Tiger. He hasn't done that with the Sox, not even in the second half of the season last year.

I am not playing the "what if" game. Some people here thought that he only made a few mistakes that hurt him. I was just making the point that he left a lot of his pitches up in the zone. His pitches were up throughout the game.
-
Porcello's line was better than his pitching. He left a lot of pitches up. He only got hurt by Bautista and Donaldson. He got away with a lot of other pitches that were up.
-
A win... a series win... some exciting baseball. I like it.
-
I guess that Kimbrel will be warming behind Ross. How many runners will Farrell allow Ross in the 9th?
-
The guy is burying himself.
-
Shaw is flashing good leather at 1B too.
-
Pablo is a disgrace. But I am enjoying this team. It is showing that it has tenacity. Hopefully, Pussillo can keep the ball in the park.
-
Porcello leave way too many pitches up in the zone. He can't succeed up there.
-
Castillo is making a case for himself.
-
But his potential...
-
And there is 2. I win the bet. We can still win this game if Pussillo can stop giving up long balls. He is a bad sinkerball pitcher -- too many Home Run balls.
-
Shaw is making it such that Panda can just sit on the bench and eat.
-
But the length of the contracts is very reasonable.
-
Give him a chance to regress to the mean.
-
He was just happy that he could get back to his feet.
-
And there is 1. A Sinker ball pitcher that gives up Home Runs is bad news.
-
Under/Over for Home Runs against Porcello today is 1.5. I am going with the Over. We can win if he limits them to 2 long balls.
-
Shaw batting clean up. Interesting.
-
The offense and the bullpen have been great tonight. Kimbrel is simply overpowering. Great win!
-
Where was that 3rd pitch to Tulo? That was strike three.
-
Each of the games so far have been fun and exciting to watch. This team has a lot of fight and the ability to climb back from big deficits. That is much different than last season.
-
Holt is doing it all tonight!
