Lets be fair to Boston a minute here, Gausman has truly sucked with his fastball velo and location, his slider location and his changeup location. He;s not pitching well at all .
I dont understand how they can be dead perfect with their swing decisions. Gausman isnt having a good day with his location admitedly but they just seem to know exactly what's coming every time
I was listening to the Sox radio broadcast yesterday, they went over the numbers on this exact thing. Basically the Sox are less than 20% chase rate against the jays pitching in the series, the average chase rate for other teams facing Jays pitching is upwards of 35%.
"Tiedemann exits start early with apparent arm injury...."
"Tiedemann, 20, threw his 60th pitch of the outing in the fourth inning and immediately pointed to his arm and was removed."
Boston's guy is a pretty easy guy to figure out. Fastball, slider, change.
fastballs to RHB he favours the sinker. about 50/50 sinker/4seam to lefties
slider he throws to RHB at about a 2to 1 rate, changeups he throws to lefties at about 2 to 1
All of his pitches are actually overperforming.... except the slider which is getting destroyed. Still about the same overall whiff rate with it as last season though.
