You were right about Richards, who looked much better this inning. I am not seeing much movement in Ray's fastball, but am in Richards. His breaks down and to the left (to the right as the batter looks at it).
-
Richards is throwing his fastball as hard or harder than Ray, but the Jays love it.
-
Lazy fly to CF with the bases loaded. Sox blew a huge, huge opportunity. 6th, 7th, and 8th batters all get on base, 9th K's, and the top of the order rolls over and plays dead. And Ray is throwing like 75% fastballs and 25% sliders and not much else.
-
Now he's killing Devers with nothing but fastballs.
-
Good pitching by Ray, but also a terrible at bat by Kike. He had at least 4 fastballs near the center of the zone.
-
Fastballs all hittable, but all barely fouled off.
-
Ray's going high fastball for the K. Right! But too high.
-
Yes, Chavis K's on fastballs, so no surprise. But Ray hit some corners.
-
Excellent at bat by Dalbec. Bases loaded.
-
You could be right, and I sure hope you are.
-
OK, ladies and gents, never ever question a lineup by Alex Cora. He DH's with the backup up catcher (and brought up a 3d catcher), and Plawecki gets hard hit double of a good lefty.
-
OK. Clearly, Verdugo is back. Duran is faster, but Verdugo looks twice as good in CF. And he hit that grounder hard even if it turns out to be an error--against a good lefty starter.
-
Two innings, and once thru the Jays order while relying heavily on fastballs and sliders and so-so command (56% strikes). Scary.
-
That 4 seamer definitely has a little break in it.
-
Richards and Vazquez are fixated on fastballs, fastballs, and the occasional slider. Either one or none curveballs and one changeup so far. Based on that last pitch, a curveball, it looks as though he can't command anything all that well today.
-
Richards did that to himself. He's got, what, 9 years of MLB experience?
-
Ump took a pretty good strike away from Richards.
-
Stole that base off Richards.
-
mlb.com superimposes that Richards threw two 98 mph fastballs in the 1st, the fastest he's throw all year. What's left out is that the Jays hit both of them.
-
Make that 5 straight fastballs. Richards and Vazquez both to blame.
-
This is just horsehockey. Four straight fastballs, all well above the zone, to start of the 2d.
-
First inning: no K's by either team, a leadoff double by the Jays but no run, and 2 leadoff singles by the Sox and 1 run. Kike's going to 3b on that single was a big play.
-
Ray heavy on the fastballs plus some sliders. Haven't seen a changeup. Excellent catch by Gurriel up against the wall.
-
OK. An out, but an rbi. Way, way better than a K or popup.
-
Yes, that was really smart baserunning and shows a downside to those big shifts.
