All right, here’s where I’m at.
The Dodgers and Nationals are both on my short card. I’m definitely not chasing, but if we hit the White Sox, I may jump back in.
Those are the only two teams left on my short card.
First things first, though. We need the White Sox like fucking oxygen…
One time
BIEBER SUCKS!
first 5 chisox can hit and your full game Toronto can hit!
Early, wish list
Martin pounding the zone and getting through the first inning around 15 pitches or fewer.
Bieber struggling to locate, falling behind hitters and needing 18 to 22 pitches in the first inning.
Chicago making him work, laying off the slider out of the zone and producing hard contact, even if they do not score immediately.
The ideal start is Martin with a clean first and Chicago putting traffic on Bieber right away. A 1-0 lead would be great, but even 0-0 is fine if Bieber already looks uncomfortable and his pitch count is climbing.
Over their last 20 games against right-handed pitching:
.279 AVG
131 wRC+
.339 wOBA
82nd percentile in Contact%
92nd percentile in Chase%
8.9% walk rate
They are making consistent contact, controlling the strike zone and forcing pitchers to earn every out. That is a very encouraging profile heading into today’s matchup with Shane Bieber.
I mean, I’m still working on the game I don’t know what’s gonna happen. All I know is I did the work.
