The "zagging" on Crochet's fastball vs. the orioles is funny, very funny to see the more "fog of war" aspects of actually playing baseball show up in the data
Yeah haha I tend to try and not overreact most of the time, try to set some minimum standard of usage tweak for it to be notable
But with this Crochet one, I was convinced he was going to be off the 4S this year (Red Sox 4S usage is low, he wasn't throwing it much at all in spring, Opening day start backed it up, etc)
I think I'll still be right long term here, but there's value from an advance scouting perspective for BOS to not stick to their guns for 30 starts. Doing it versus the team that mashes 4S is funny though!
I read this every morning.
Appreciate you!
