He said he's going to make a concerted effort in hitting the other way this season.
Casas 13% career oppo
Papi 17% career oppo
AGon 17% oppo in 2011
I think Casas can boost that number a little and be effective.
He doesn't need to be a lockdown 8th inning guy to be valuable. Having decent relievers for the 6th inning is better than what we've thrown out there the past few seasons.
TOR only k'd 3 times against Morton last time out. Morton didn't have 9 k's in a game at all in 2024. The last time he had 9 k's was 9/11/23.
This offense...
Houck is at 76 pitches through 4 innings. The top of the order is up to start the 5th and some really good LHB. It could be a tough inning for him. I don't see him getting through 6 today.
