6/21-Redd Soxx vs. Gray

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

I was listening to MLB Radio the other day and they were talking about Keekay. The gist was that, in batting practice, he sprays the ball all over the field ... but when he comes to the plate in the game, it's as though he forgets all that and overswings.
One of the analysts, not sure who but a former player, said that Keekay's great run at the end of 2021 might have gotten in his head and he thinks he can be that player all the time.
Not that I buy that necessarily, but something's going on

The radio guys were talking about his batting practice sessions similarly one game. But their theory was that he’s a lot more free to focus on hitting when he’s playing the outfield, because he’s a lot more relaxed and comfortable out there.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Ten percent of the board doesn't think Chaim Bloom will be, either.

Don't go to the main board ... 'tis a silly place

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Anyone have a link for pre-2021 hit charts?

Baseball Savant has them.

Either way it's mental, which is 80% of half the game

I heard that he cut his pizza into 6 pieces because he wasn’t hungry enough to eat 8

 

[Bergs]

Tristan needs to fuck one up right here.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

It's amazing how all the good feeling of a decent win streak fades after one game of moronic baseball. Beneath the string of Ws, they appear to be the same dumbass team.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

These are the kind of games we just can’t futz away if we want to contend for a wild card.

We futzed away the Colorado series in the most infuriating fashion imaginable. I barely survived that shitshow.

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Wheels

 

[The Filthy One]

Stolen standing up. Don’t see that everyday.

 

[PrometheusWakefield]

Take third too

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Tristan needs to fuck one up right here.

Done!

 

[Sam Ray Not]

Are we sure David Hamilton isn’t Ja Morant with a new hairdo?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Ok

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Stolen standing up. Don’t see that everyday.

And never on off-days.

 

[SoxJox]

Duran's velocity is sick.8

 

[Bergs]

Tristan needs to fuck one up right here.

Attababy.

 

[The Filthy One]

CASAS! RISP baby!

 

[derekson]

LET'S GO

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Well, that's fucking sweet

 

[Sprowl]

Casas goes oppo, to good effect.

 

[ngruz25]

This team has some very interesting pieces. Defense is still an issue, but if Casas starts hitting...

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

Beautiful swing by casas

 

[SoxJox]

To no avail. Casas comes through.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Baseball Savant has them.

Thanks, I don't detect anything of note in the older charts.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

This just in, Casas is good

 

[Harry Hooper]

Beautiful swing by casas

he can make a lot of money with that swing.

 

[Bergs]

Nice play by Correa.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Casas should be on 3rd, it was unoccupied

 

[bosockboy]

He’s got around an 850 OPS since May 1. He’s been hitting actually.

 

[nvalvo]

We were really trying to lose this game, but somehow might not.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

God, arroyo not only carries a grand piano, he stops along the way to play the fucker

 

[Ed Hillel]

Hit pretty well, too bad

 

[Bergs]

Casas should be on 3rd, it was unoccupied

Asking a lot to diagnose that in real time, and no guarantee Correa wouldn't have run him down.

I blame the second base coach

 

[Bergs]

I blame the second base coach

Why, was it Bloom?

 

[bosockboy]

With a bullpen game tomorrow, be good to get this one.

 

[SoxJox]

I marvel at today's batters ability to react to that velocity. At 104 they have about .4 seconds to observe, orient, and act (a variation of the military OODA loop). And the act itself is relatively time consuming.

I honestly can't wrap my brain around how anyone can hit a baseball thrown by modern pitchers.

 

[MannyRam]

Martin is straight dealing right now

 

[bosockboy]

Saw this and had to share. Not everyday you get a sighting of Bobby Grich and Doug DeCinces.

Freddie gets a point for being able to tuck in his shirt

 

[CarolinaBeerGuy]

Come on, blue

 

[Doc Zero]

Bill Burr is so fucking annoying, Jesus.

 

[Bergs]

Freddie was an absolute beast on a HoF track. I'm glad he's doing well, but I wish he had stayed healthy and done so at Fenway.

 

[Sprowl]

Martin is well worth his contract.

 

[greek_gawd_of_walks]

That inning from Martin is in the running for most dominant of the season imo

 

[E5 Yaz]

Martin is well worth his contract.

And what he'll fetch at the deadline

 

[Bergs]

Bill Burr is so fucking annoying, Jesus.

Not in the wife-killing demo, I take it?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Come on Blue
