Here we go again… He’s thrown 24 sinkers out of 100 pitches. 41 sliders and 22 curves. So over 60% of his pitches today are “breaking balls”. Therefore, that would make him “reliant on breaking balls”.
I don’t know I’m kinda like **** it with Lance at this point. Every appearance is a gift and they can’t afford to baby him with the other young guys in the bullpen also carrying risk. If he gets hurt again, he gets hurt again. Dudes gettin paid either way.
Thank you for acknowledging the difference. He's thrown a handfull of 4-seamers too. Maybe even mixed in a changeup? eta also, in my defense, you did say "entirely living on breaking balls"....so I'm sorry for misinterpreting that and breaking your balls about it
That’s as good an AB as you can possibly expect a 22 year old that’s played 5 games above single a going into the year to have. Too bad right at them.
I don’t just mean that- I also mean game strategy. He was giving up lots of loud contact hang one more and the game gets out of hand.
