  1. Sale showed velocity today. He still didn't show vintage consistent 97 mph gas, but he averaged in the 94-95 range tonight. The problem was, it was a meatball every time or he missed high. Makes me wonder if he is overthrowing to get the velocity yet loses his command
  2. One thing to see is whether Betts did something to that wrist. I know he threw and hit afterwards, but he didn't look right.
  3. Ball game. Good to see Paxton regain his form
  4. Paxton dominated with a fastball and cutter. He hit his corners and was incredible by raising and lowering the eye level. His stuff was awesome. Sale showed improved stuff and a knockout breaking ball, but his fastball location was not good and a 94-95 over the heart of the plate is a homerball these days. Sale at 97-98 might have gotten a bit more run.
  5. Paxton is showing what he’s capable of. He definitely was tipping pitches
  6. That’s not on Leon. Judge stole that on Sale and Nunez alligator armed the catch
  7. Not sure why Sale is even considering fastballs here. Torres isn’t tracking the slider
  8. Sale has shown his stuff again, but his location is awful. I’m wondering if he needs to overthrow to get his prior velocity and now cannot pinpoint it.
  9. Andujar got hurt on the basepaths
  10. We’d have Andujar on the IL and no Lemahieu, who is outplaying Machado right now
  11. This one might help us. Ford is killing it
  12. You’re not playing a contender today or tomorrow. You’re playing Aaron Judge featuring the Railriders
  13. It’s supposed to rain through 4pm and it’s currently biblical outside. The Sox can cancel the game before start time and my guess is they do so.
  14. I don’t think the decisions made on the rotation front are the crux of our issue right now. Our best pitcher thus far has been German and he wasn’t slated to start 2019 in the majors, so there’s that. Tanaka has been good. Paxton was tipping his pitches, and his career path shows more a lack of durability over a lack of performance. Happ was solid last year and a two year deal isn’t a bad thing for a veteran. And CC was lights out in his debut. Severino finished top 10 in the CY the last two seasons. You don’t replace that
  15. Also, we usually crush Rodon. We usually torch lefties. But losing Stanton, Sanchez, Andujar, Tulo and even Didi (who hits lefties well), has left us with Judge, Voit and nobody
  16. I’m not sure anyone can replace Sevy. Also, Tanaka has thrown 2 great starts and one stinker. When Tanaka leaves the ball up, he gets hurt. I knew it would be tough once he started pitching slowly. When he’s rolling, he gets the ball and goes. When he’s struggling, he takes forever.
  17. Big start from CC there. We needed that. He is gonna frustrate the heck out of these young, aggressive teams with his combo of soft, softer and softest. We need others to follow suit
  18. His acquisition was made rather than getting Machado
  19. And if we went that route, we wouldn’t have Lemahieu, who is leading the league in hitting. Our offense is cobbled together with glue and duct tape, yet we keep scoring. Our pitching has been bad and there’s not much excuse for it
  20. We are screwed, especially since a title is bestowed on May 1
  21. Green needs to go down and work on his mechanics. 2019 is turning into a lost year
  22. I legitimately hate our manager
  23. This is the tantalizing part of ERod. His stuff, when he’s on, is awesome. The problem is, he is too inconsistent and nibbles too much. When you’re pumping 95 and throwing a wipeout slider, don’t nibble
  24. I knew ERod would be good when I saw him locating the inner half to righties with 93-95 heat.
