Modern baseball fans. A guy is off to a great start, and most of the discussion revolves around his contract situation and whether he should be traded at the deadline.
Crazy game. We go into the Mets park and beat DeGrom 1-0. Back in Fenway our pitchers get treated like Charlie Brown by the lowly Tigers for 3 straight games.
Chaim may have gone one step too far with the revamping and rebuilding when he unloaded Beni. We didn't really shed much payroll in the deal. We did get back prospects.
But right now it's a move that left us with a very shaggy outfield.
Duran is 0 for 7 in the first 2 Worcester games.
Just to add one more detail, it was scored a wild pitch. It was a wicked breaking ball that hit the ground before reaching the catcher. Very tough play, probably the correct call rather than a passed ball.
Because exit velocity combined with launch angle, on average, results in more hits than exit velocity without launch angle. Presumably the latter includes a lot of ground ball outs.
