5/17: where's the offense? Red Sox rubber game

For those about to rock, we salute you Grant Holmes. May the power of your Mullet sustain you and keep you at the throats of these hackers.

Agreed. Get him through 4-5, and let Diddier finish ‘em off.
That’ll solve everything - that and about 8 runs from our offense - and without the Kim black hole…it looks reasonable to me. Ozzie scorched some balls last night - expecting him to right the ship today.
 
The issue is the entire team has stopped taking walks, and the BABIP luck has reversed. The guys who chase all the time aren’t getting lucky right now when the other teams throw them strikes.

The terrible approaches from guys like Albies and Harris really hurt when the luck isn’t lucking.
 
Albies takes 3-0 right down the middle, then pulls a ball 3” outside for a soft liner single. Thats a terrible approach, but when the hits fall people are tricked into thinking it’s well done….as if he’s somehow “back” into the groove or something.

When it's Ozzie we're talking about, getting to 3-0 is a win in itself
 
If I were pitching to harris, I'd never throw anything but dirt balls. He will walk 1/10 times, k half, and weak grounder the other 4
 
Then Harris makes an out on pitches out of the zone. He should have walked. Having Albies and Harris in the 2 and 4 slots is a killer when they aren’t taking advance of hittable pitches. Their horrible approaches can’t lead to consistent base runners.
