Literally everything about that pitch was hanging.  It literally ended up thigh high right down the middle.

Hanging curves typically don't break.  It was right down the middle, but it broke to that location.  Chourio must've been looking fastball and was fooled

Now, I've not seen many games this week to see how he looks...

Watching games won't help you with that since he has spent the week on the freaking bench...

RHYS!

[trwi7]

Hoskins' batting average isn't high enough imo.

Hanging isn't really about location. That was a back door slider that just leaked over the plate.

Hoskins is worth the big salary

This is exactly why he was signed

Both things can be true.  He was fooled by a hanging slider.

You simply don't know what hanging means in terms of pitching vernacular. He was fooled by a slider. End of story. Romero did anything but hang it.

People were saying the ABs up to the last 4 games that he looked good.  

[yourout]

Chourio looks like he is choking the life from the bat.

Tense and jumping out at everything.

[Nola Beery]

Yay!!  Home run!!!
But was the pitch hanging?!??! (Don't actually answer please.)

Adames swings at neck high pitch after a walk. I demand accountability. 

You need your eyes checked that wasn’t anywhere close to being neck high unless Adames was only about four feet tall.

Looked good compared to what, his previous 4 games?

He was struggling, no doubt about it, but we have o either crap or get off the pot with him.  He needs regular at bats either with the Brewers, or down in Nashville.

Benching him for 4 games straight, then tossing him in the fire with bases loaded was a very questionable call imo.

Hoskins last 3 years

2021: .247 AVG, .334 OBP, .864 OPS

2022: .246 AVG, .332 OBP .794 OPS

2024: .230 AVG, .333 OBP, .794 OPS

 

He’s also coming off an ACL tear and hasn’t played in a year

Was it a strike? Nope. Did the guy in front of him walk? Yep. Case closed. Bad ab. Watch the game.

Perkins may have caught that Hoskins HR
