Noooooo! Don’t do it!

And there we go, Cease's Era is close to mediocre now.

He's powerful but I don't trust him and his straight fastball when it matters. Kopech is filthier - so is Gio as far as pitch movement and speed differential.

Same for Lynn.

Wait, the radio guys accurately stated the devastation between his fastball and change up.

I was holding out too much judgment on cease until he played a better lineup. He tends to get knocked around by better teams. On a side note, this is a great game.

This is a great team and it was one outing.

It was the manager’s fault on Monday for Kelly pitching the 7th inning and not being in the 9th inning.

It was the Managers fault for Kelly giving up 5 runs tonight in the 8th inning.

Always

Don’t feel like I jumped to any conclusion. Still have high hopes for Cease.

The straight fastball is my biggest concern with Hendricks. When he is able to get his slider over, the batter can’t sit on his fastball. But, when he is having trouble commanding his slider and the hitter can sit on his fastball, the good ones will catch up to 98. When it’s straight, it is very hitable.

I’d love to see Katz work with Hendricks the create some movement on his fastball. Even if it costs a mph or 2.

I seem to remember that he had a couple of guys struck out on on pitches that were called balls, including on one of Stanton's home runs. I think that the home plate umpire had a bad game yesterday and couldn't follow the movement of Cease's breaking pitches. With that Yankee batting order, you have to get the pitches that are on the corner or you are going to get hurt.

I consider myself pretty much a baseball purist most of the time, but right now, I am becoming in favor of an automated strike zone. Screw this.

Going to be a long weekend I think ...

Kelly wasn't the problem. The umpire had a lot to do with that inning.

If I'm reading you right....Kelly was signed to pitch "6th and 7th"...What's he doing pitching the 8th??

[Muttman73]

Odds that the Sox get swept by the Yankees at home this weekend? I'd say - good odds.

Who had the over that it would take til 12:50 PM for the attack by Bainsy on the use of Kelly?

[Muttman73]

Giolito to covid list, ugh ...

[blams]

New wave is pretty rough. Wife and I were on the brink of a hospital visit last week. Hopefully he's through this quick!


-ill be happy with a split. Doesn't seem likely
