Hitters are teeing off on price's Fastball as it lacks any movement and weak location. So he has started throwing some sort of cutter which he had success with early but now teams are laying off and forcing him back to the fastball,
Having a guy like Bradley in center field, gives our pitchers the confidence to make pitches they normally would not because they know Bradley will run down mistakes.
The thing I like b st about beeks is it looks like he is throwing four pitches for strikes, when he is locating well, he had tremendous success. But because his stuff is not electric, he has to walk a tight rope in order to succeed!
I watched him pitch the other night and he is not ready. Shotty control and no movement
on any pitches.
In the pros, he would get lit up worse than price, if that is possible!
Maybe it is because he missed so much spring training, but Kimbrel’s fastball is flat and grabs a lot of plate. Hopefully he gets sharper because I am sick of losing games because of him.
Ps: Scott is looking good at Pawtucket. Time to swap him and Johnson.
That is true, teams go through rough patches.
But our pitchers are not executing their pitches like they were earlier in the year.
This needs to change if we are going win games. We can not out hit the opposition every game.
