ALDS Game 1 Pre-Game Thoughts I was looking up Drew Rasmussen's pitch mixes to lefties. His first time facing the lineup, he hides the changeup and throws a lot of four-seam fastballs. And the first pitch to lefties, in those first at-bats… sixty-three percent of the time it's been a four-seam fastball. You may see some Yankees hunt first-pitch fastball the first time through. If I'm Austin Wells, I'm sitting changeup, first pitch of my first at-bat. Wells is a fastball hitter, and Rasmussen likes to use the bottom of the order to get the changeup going before he introduces it to the big guys the second time through. If that changeup isn't leaned on the first time, he might use the Wells AB to tune it up. I think I'd say, "Wellsy, maybe sit first-pitch changeup. After that, lock in and battle, but if you want to sell out, maybe sell out first-pitch changeup, first AB.” A weird thought I had.. Lombard is the only righty in the lineup. He doesn't have anyone to pick the brain of and talk to about how Rasmuson is pitching to righties. Pitchers pitch to lefties and righties very differently. All the lefties have so much shared knowledge of "he did this to me, and then he used this, and then he did that." Lombard, the lone righty, he's got no one to gossip with. I see him fighting off an inside sinker or two-strike cutter, swinging a bunt to third, and it gets thrown away. He gets to second, maybe third, on the overthrow. Rasmussen likes to use the cutter in on lefties the first time through. Tough on Ben Rice, but I see Jazz and Trent as two guys who swing quick and tight and can get a hold of that pitch. Trent doesn't start running down flyballs until he sees the ball and calculates the route. He pauses and waits. Does the white roof make that ‘tracking’ period last longer?
