Velasquez is a spare part with loot enough ABs to compile a decent spray chart and they play him to pull like he is Reggie Jackson. That was a DP ball if he was blamed at DP depth.
This was not the day to take out Houck after 58 pitches. You never know what you are going to get from the pen these day. In a 7 inning game, the manager has the luxury of shortening his pen to 2 innings maybe even 1.
2 guys off the wrist. Hate to see that. Lopez was not intending to do it and helped Kie to get up. Not sure if I have seen that before. Still should Sale drill an Oriole?
i remember going to an afternoon game at Fenway. It was either 2017or 2018 and his second pitch of the game was 100. He was hitting 100 pretty regularly that game. I remember it because it surprised me that he started off like that with his second pitch. I remember texting my son about it while I was at the game.
