They seem to be on some of these pitches...minus Ellsbury

I know the SABR meme is that hot streaks don't exist, but Ortiz looks absolutely locked in right now (and I hate that phrase). He's fouling off the high fastballs that he used to swing through pretty often and laying off the tough breaking stuff.

Would have been a good inning for pitch count if Ellsbury weren't so pathetic up there right now.
That was one of the worst ABs I've seen all year.

Wacha seems to telegraph his change up just a little. At least it seemed that way to me.

So, uh, Lackey isn't exactly looking great.

That missed HR is all on Pedroia. He didn't wave it fair hard enough.

Squaring up Lackey pretty good early

He's gotten to two strikes on all these guys, but they're squaring it up pretty hard. Would like to see more offspeed.

Lackey looks like crap right now

Fortunately, that's their last good hitter.

Lot of hard hit balls this inning.

Lackey may need to do what he did in Detroit and work off his breaking ball

He's left a lot of balls up (both fastballs and curves). Needs to hit his spots at the knees.

Post by soxfan06 on Oct 30, 2013 19:35:33 GMT -5
His location is way off.

ok...something lazy at least
Edit-Thats two WP/PB in three innings from the Lackey/Ross combo, anything to that?

Lackey got out of that one, but Farrell needs to get a reliever up the next time a baserunner reaches second base. Lackey's been hit hard early, and he's been missing up in the strike zone a lot.

Ross looks very uncomfortable with Lackey. Second pitch in the dirt that is 99% of the time stopped by him that has gotten by him this series
