Pitching it away is not the fix. He needs to elevate his fastball. He's not doing that.
-
His arm slot is all horsefeathered up. He's coming in too shallow. So he's leaving things lower than he did last year. Last year that pitch probably gets upper-90 and it's a swing and a miss. But this year he's just dropping his arm too much and he's getting more of the middle of the zone. For a ride-heavy fastball, you can't leave it lower. It rides into the barrel.
-
I gave Vaughn credit for getting one off the plate. That one is far more on Shota. That's middle third.
-
Yeesh.
-
Statcast did. But that's because Statcast doesn't show a graphic that is height adjusted per each hitter. So it's not an issue with statcast, it's just how they display the graphic. The zone doesn't change laterally. The plate is unchanging. Thus, the pitch to Happ, which was an issue left and right, not up and down, is 100% accurate regardless of who's hitting.

Priester has big issues against LHH right now and Jose Quintana gets rocked against RHH even worse than Priester. My guess is they want to try to mitigate them in Milwaukee, hope to get both of those guys to Chicago with the wind and hope they keep the ball in the park Especially with an off day today and no offdays between the next two.
-
What issues has Statcast had?
-
Yeah, that was hard to watch. Kid you got a ground out with 2 outs, one on, in the third inning.
-
Statcast had it as a strike, to be fair.
-
100%. This kid is going to walk the world if they let him right now. Let him.
-
Here comes the struggle. Miz will do this if you let him.
-
Big inning to shut them down 1-2-3. Halt the momentum.

Find a post where I was talking about wanting extra rest of Shota Imanaga. I'll wait. You're just projecting at this point because you got caught out. Instead of doing this, just say "you know what, I was wrong". You're wrong. Shota has been working on normal or extra rest for a bit. He's not even pitched as many innings as he did last year...he was hurt.
-
I wrote up all this data on Quinn Priester, I diagnosed his cutter issue and they don't even bother to use him today? Why does Pat Murphy hate me?
-
Justin Turner reads your posts.
-
He literally just pitched on extra rest. He gave up a towering bomb to Machado and 3 runs in less than 5 innings. The extra rest isn't the thing. His last start was on the 25th of September and he got blasted. The Cubs clinched the playoffs on the 17th. What are you talking about?
-
He's really making his money on four home runs against LHP. I don't think that's likely to continue. We can go back to his time in Triple-A and the MiLB and his data has always been "the slugging disappears against LHP". I think that's a fluke.
-
Priester is up in the pen.
-
Justin Turner remains in the baseball game.
-
Shota threw last week on 6 days rest and is throwing today on normal rest.
-
I mean, credit to Vaughn. Shota didn't want it there, but that pitch is inside and off the plate. That's not where you'd typically see a home run hit from.
-
God. horsefeathers. Damnit. I hate this horsefeathers Brewers team.
-
Justin Turner has a 124 wRC+ against LHP since June 1st Michael Busch has a 99 wRC+ against LHP since June 1st Justin Turner has a 137 wRC+ against LHP since July 1st Michael Busch has a 143 wRC+ against LHP since July 1st

I'd make a geometry joke but I failed that class.
