What is Saturday. Welcome to the Plus Pitch Podcast. You're more impinging podcast from Pitcherlist.com. My name is Nick Pollack. And yes, today is April 24th. And we are going to talk about baseball. Oh, yes, we are. Ben Lively, 6.1 innings, one and run. 5. It's zero walks in. 7Ks. My gosh, is this hit? Well, no. He gets Atlanta next. And this was against a depleted Red Sox offense. No Devers,

no Casas. He's not that great. Like, he had 10 of his 11 whiffs on heaters, and I have to at least

give him credit. He was throwing these heaters upstairs effectively. He does get seven feet of extension.

It's not that 7.5 of, Ober or maybe Bailey falter the Bailey's but

I should just call him be a bail a lot lively Ben blithe. Okay, I'm done. Sorry

It's a decently flat four seams like a one two now like a one five

These things help it actually do well at the top of the zone,

and those four seamers did a great job getting spotted up there, and that's really the reason

why this worked out. That's cool. He gets Atlanta next. So Ben Lively, not someone I'm picking up now.

Someone at least the monitor that if he is sticking around inside this rotation for the Guardians,

then maybe there is some way that he can continue

to perform at this level against bad opponents.

If he keeps those four seamers upstairs, hopefully he gets the old slider that he used to have,

the sweeper was fine in his own, but not like amazing or anything.

Okay.

Max Fried, complete game shutout.

It was the Marlins.

Fine, but come on. Complete game shutout. Not everyone has a complete game shutout. It was the Marlins. Fine. But come on. Complete game shutout. Not everyone has a complete game shutout against the Marlins. Great. Logan Webb, eight innings complete game shutout. No, not complete game. But just shut out. Okay. It's great. That's awesome. It's so funny how it's just the same thing every time of the changes being amazing. The sweepers not being good enough to get more than four strikeouts.

Total for Webb.

But whatever.

The change-up is just so stupid, good, and consistently down and just out of the zone.

It's amazing.
