I believe it's at the point where opposing teams realize before the game that they better score more than 6 runs if they want any chance of beating the SOX.
Masa is a pure contact hitter. He rarely over swings, makes pitchers pay for mistakes and has good recognition of the strike zone. IOW, he's a professional batsman.
Let me get this straight. You agreed with Cora for pulling Pivetta with 2 outs in the 5th and no one on and tonight you agreed with Cora for leaving Bello in with 2 outs in the 5th and no one on.
That makes perfect sense.
It's all about command. He throws strikes, but has no command of his pitches consistently. His W/L record is more representative of the SOX offense, than his pitching talent.
