Cade Povich 2024

[Frobby]

I didn’t think Povich was too awful last night, facing a nearly all right-handed lineup in the Fenway bandbox.   Obviously the back to back homers were on bad pitches, and really, the whole 3rd inning was kind of rough.  But Povich bounced back nicely from that inning and did a nice job in the 4th and 5th until Hyde pulled him after a two-out walk in the 5th.   I’d call this one to grow on.

I agree. Thought he looked pretty solid and pitch efficient aside from the 3rd.

Overall, I’ve been happy with Cade’s growth this year. He’s tremendously cut down on walks, and they’re still working on mixing pitches and working on individual pitches as well. I do agree that the pitches hit for dingers were poor pitch choices and execution, but otherwise…he kept them in it. Bullpen imploded, of course. And the offense stunk.

Amazing how we have lowered our standards, 4 runs in 4.2, 5 hits, 2 walks, 2HRs is not "too awful"
