Pivetta’s Return to (Poor) Form

[RedOctober3829]

Duran can’t turn around a major league fastball it seems.

 

[E5 Yaz]

WHAT A GREAT JUMP BY JUDGE TO GET TO THAT SINKING LINER!!!!

 

[strek1]

Finally a good AB. Duran made an out but the approach was good.

 

[patinorange]

Duran can’t turn around a major league fastball it seems.

Why would we think he could?

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Duran not looking like a major league player is a depressing development

Duran not looking like a major league player is a depressing development

Is it really surprising though? I'm probably too much of a prospect humper, and I've never believed he was going to amount to much

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Seems like a common theme among Sox minor leaguers.

 

[catsooey]

Feel free to talk about it in the MLB forum, but baseless speculation here adds nothing.

Understood - but just to be clear - all of that is from espn.com, except for wondering about what happened. No more testing.

I have always thought he was on the team to play Dave Roberts in the post-season. Unfortunately, Hernandez went down and wasn't "himself" this season anyway, and Duran has had to try to be more.

Maybe not surprising, but it means the Sox need 2/3 of an OF for next year. And a SS or 2B….1B….C…DH….etc etc

 

[InsideTheParker]

He is giving Pivetta NOTHING, even when the pitchframe shows it touching.

 

[Back Bay]

try throwing fastball inside Nick.

 

[scottyno]

Pivetta has no clue where his curve is going, missing by like 2 feet every time

Take heart, I’m sure Bloom will resign JBJ

 

[twibnotes]

The Carpenter phenomenon is no more ridiculous than life itself, and barely more ridiculous than the Refsnyder experience.
Still annoying though

not really bc of the homers

No major leaguer looks like one during a slump.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

No major leaguer looks like one during a slump.

219 career PA’s with 30% K’s and a 243/283/379 line isn’t super encouraging

 

[nolasoxfan]

Somebody please tell Carpenter that mustache is ridiculous.

One has a 155 ops+ the other has a 275 and that's before he hit another homer today.

Prorate Carpenter over a full year and he's having the best hitting season of all time. And he was done as a decent major league player 3 years ago.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Not sure you can look ridiculous while rocking a 1370 ops

 

[Rovin Romine]

I'm hoping that the Fox crew isn't all about the Yankee ball washing like ESPN was.

And how's that been going so far? (Just got home.)

 

[Back Bay]

makes the beard policy more laughable than ever.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Xander is in lazy swing mode.

 

[nolasoxfan]

Carpenter sure is giving it a go.

 

[aksoxfan]

Not in love with Bogeys one handed swing.

 

[nolasoxfan]

You could eat off them.

JBJ had a 25 game hitting streak. (Until that dip shit John Farrell ruined it) it’s a strange game.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Apparently they don't have a chance against Tallon. 11 straight retired, really?

 

[patinorange]

11 straight. So predictable

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

That’s a brutal inning by the heart of the order.

 

[LesterFan]

Too many free outs in the lineup and the good hitters aren't doing anything. Big yikes.

Thanks So ‘barely’ wasn’t Le Mot Juste?

 

[InsideTheParker]

Who are the guys in the booth? I can barely hear them, b/c I have the sound down so low owing to the echo chamber in Yankee Stadium.

 

[Van Everyman]

JBJ had a 25 game hitting streak. (Until that dip shit John Farrell ruined it) it’s a strange game.

How did he ruin it? Also, I think it was 27 or 28 games because I distinctly remember my 9 year old daughter waking up every morning and asking me first thing while she was still in bed.

 

[YTF]

Yep

 

[InsideTheParker]

JBJ, ladies and germs!

I think it was 29, X had a 22 game streak at the same time

 

[E5 Yaz]

That's a run-scoring double (at least) if Duran is in center

He made him the lead off hitter instead of his usual spot in the line up. Streak over.

 

[nazz45]

Cordero now 14 for his last 18. Impressive.

And to think he cleared waivers. So fortunate they retained him. Where would they be without his expected batting average.

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Two check swing strikeouts. Good road trip, Franchy.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Cordero K rate up to 31%.

 

[patinorange]

Cordero K rate up to 31%.

Seems higher.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Pivetta was NOT getting that strike call Taillon just got. Am I the only one who is seeing this?
