Still think ff is underrated by defensive metrics. Really good around the bag.

Love how Anderson throws all of his stuff in any count and is mostly in the zone. He may give up some hrs without much lateral movement and up in the zone. Hopefully they will be solo shots.

In the playoffs a line up may hit him hard, but it would tough to do worst than folty last start

Yeah, that FA is going to induce a lot of flyballs, and some will fly over the fence. The CH is good enough to mitigate that hopefully.

Ender looks like a guy who never started working out after his injury healed. It’s really odd how impotent he looks.

It’s strange. He used to be a fireplug and now he acts like he could care less. We know he’s way better than this, but dang...at some point this is just what he is now.
 
A lot of things for Anderson to work on. That changeup at 88-89 needs to be at 85-86 or it will get pounded.

Ideally I’d like more velocity separation. That said it’s better that he tunnels it and doesn’t tip it. He can’t slow the arm down. He could change the grip but he might lose all command.

I think he’s just got to locate more and develop that slider.


SOX SUCK but they have some talented hitters. So far his mistakes are singles. You take that every time. This is not a shut down, tor guy. Not sure what the velocities are but even that double didn’t seem to be smoked. Just solid contact.

Problem with the game is bad luck Riley didn’t get a two run dong and we have let the scrub go 4 innings.
 
Based on the swings he gets on the CH when it's down, I suspect there's some good deception between it and the FA.

As long as the CU is his 3rd most used pitch he can definitely stick in the rotation provided his command holds serve.

He really only lost it in the 3rd... it has been pretty solid the rest of the time.

He was off a bit but it was a series of singles none of which were exactly crushed. A little luck and he could have gotten through it unscathed. He looks pretty solid to me. Not great, but better than anyone we have right now not named Max Fried.
