Your Sox weren’t fooled by Ohtani. Is he on the shortest of short leashes? Only 2 innings? He was poised to get lit the f—k up.
I stayed up for the first few innings, he looked bad. That said I buy the blister excuse, the velocity was down but more importantly his control was awful, he bounced a couple of fastballs in front of the plate and looked down at his hand afterward.
Kind of a shame, I wanted to see how he really looked but oh well, I'm just as happy the Sox shelled him :). Just hoping he can still bat on Thursday.
Short leash was he was over 60 pitches and not able to throw all his pitches.
Lots of velocity. Not sure if the blister was the cause, but not much movement on the fastball. I'm assuming the blister was the reason be couldn't throw a breaking pitch no matter what.
I hope he has the best of health. If he is going to flame out I'd much rather it be because of lack of talent. I hate to see young players fight injuries. And blisters are just stupid, they can linger and be a bitch.
I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.
