I’m about to start my franchise using your slider set.
I played a great game last night in exhibition as the Braves vs the Phillies.
Strider vs Suarez
went down 2-6 early giving up homeruns to Schwarber and Harper. Came back and made it 5-6 after two bloop singles and then a homer from Acuna. Strider and Suarez both pitched 6 innings. I got to the Phillies pen and ended up winning 10-6.
2 walks and a hit batter for each team. 16 hits for the Braves, 14 hits for the Phillies. My only concern is as that I struck out 9 while only striking out twice at the plate. I will admit to being aggressive early in counts and hitting several weak grounders though. Turning off some of the visual aids may help with that. Either way, the game was a blast and I was into it way more than I get when I use classic pitching and directional hitting.

Glad you are enjoying the sliders

I like as clean a screen as possible and try to minimize or disable everything besides the score bug

Game #65 of Season - Boston Red Sox (40-24) @ New York Yankees (36-25)
Pitching Matchup – Walker Buehler (4-4, 3.43 ERA) vs Marcus Stroman (6-3, 2.51 ERA)
The Red Sox opened the scoring in the top of the 2^nd when Wilyer Abreu hit a rocket 108 mph off the bat that traveled 405 feet into the second deck in RF for a solo HR giving Boston a 1-0 lead. David Hamilton made it 2-0 in the top of the 3^rd when he turned on a fastball from Marcus Stroman and crushed a solo HR into the second deck in RF traveling 432 feet. Walker Buehler was cruising on the mound for Boston until things fell apart with 2 outs in the bottom of the 5^th when he gave up back to back to back HR to Ben Rice, Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger and we would go to the 6^th inning with the Yankees leading 4-2. Judge added a RBI single in the bottom of the 7^th to make it a 5-2 game while DJ LeMahieu added a RBI single in the bottom of the 8th and the Yankees would take a 6-2 lead into the 9^th inning.

Game #66 of Season - Boston Red Sox (40-25) @ New York Yankees (37-25)
Pitching Matchup – Garrett Crochet (7-2, 3.04 ERA) vs Carlos Rodon (7-2, 2.91 ERA)

The Red Sox took a 2-0 lead on a pair of RBI doubles by Romy Gonzalez in the top of the 1^st & 3^rd innings. Garret Crochet was dominating on the mound for Boston as he had allowed just 1 hit in the bottom of the 1st by Aaron Judge and was though 6 innings while recording 11 Ks and we would head to the 7^th inning with the Red Sox leading 2-0. Romy Gonzalez was 3 for 3 when he came up with two men on and 2 outs in the top of the 7^th against Mark Leiter and dropped a soft liner into RF for a RBI single making it 3-0. Crochet struck out Austin Wells looking for his 12^th K to end the 7^th and send the game to the 8^th with Boston leading 3-0. The Red Sox went down quietly in the top of the 8^th while DJ LeMahieu singled for the Yankees first hit since the 1^st inning before Crochet struck out Jason Dominguez and Paul Goldschmidt to record his 13^th & 14^th Ks ending the bottom of the 8^th to send the game to the 9^th inning with the Red Sox leading 3-0. Romy Gonzalez added another RBI single in the top of the 9^th for his 5^th hit and 4^th RBI of the ball game making it 4-0. Crochet was at 101 pitches and returned to the mound to start the bottom of the 9^th but will be on a short leash with Aroldis Chapman and Jordan Hicks warmed up and ready if the Yankees should get a baserunner. Cody Bellinger poked a ground ball through the left side for a lead off single and that would be all for Crochet as Alex Cora called for hard throwing Jordan Hicks to face Aaron Judge. Hicks tried to blow a 100 mph fastball past Judge with 2 strikes but he didn’t elevate the pitch enough and Judge drove it the opposite way for a 2-run HR over the wall in right-center to cut the deficit in half at 4-2 with nobody out. Red Sox pitching coach Andrew Bailey paid a visit to the mound as Hicks looks to reset and get an out or two before Chapman can enter the ball game. Giancarlo Stanton singled to CF but Hicks would retire Volpe for a huge 1st out of the inning and Alex Cora would bring on Aroldis Chapman to try and record the final 2 outs. Chapman has been the best closer in baseball this season as he is 21 of 22 in save opportunities with a 0.77 ERA and enters a tough spot with the tying run at the plate for New York. Chapman would get Volpe to bounce to Story at SS for a double play ball but it was hit just slow enough to allow Volpe to beat out the throw to first base and keep the game alive with the Yankees now down to their final out. Austin Wells stepped to the plate with DJ LeMahieu on deck and Volpe would advance to second base on a pitch in the dirt. Chapman got ahead with a series fastballs before striking him out on a slider to end the game and give the Red Sox a 4-2 victory setting up a rubber match tomorrow night in the series finale

* The Red Sox defeat the Yankees 4-2 to even the series at one game apiece and snap the Yankees 6 game winning streak extend their lead in the AL East Standings back to 2.5 games over the 2^nd place Yankees

* Romy Gonzalez had a huge night at the plate for Boston providing all the offense as he went 5 for 5 with 3 singles, 2 doubles & 4 RBI in the ball game

* Garrett Crochet delivered his best start in a Red Sox uniform in the biggest game of his short Red Sox tenure as the Yankees could have pulled within 0.5 games of the Red Sox for 1^st place in the AL East and Crochet pitched 8.0 innings allowing 1 run on 3 hits while striking out 14 and walking 1 to earn the win and improve to 8-2 with a 2.89 ERA on the season

* The Red Sox and Yankees with play a rubber match tomorrow with Richard Fitts set to take the mound for Boston while Max Fried gets the start for New York.

NEXT SERIES - The Red Sox will return home to Fenway Park for another AL East battle as the Red Sox begin a 3 game series with the Tampa Bay Rays who are currently 35-30 5.0 games back of the Red Sox in the AL East Standings

TRANSACTIONS
* The Red Sox will activate OF/1B Masataka Yoshida from the injured list andYoshida will make his season debut tomorrow after missing the first 67 games of the season following off-season shoulder surgery.

* The Red Sox have sent rookie second baseman Kristian Campbell down to AAA Worcester to make room on the roster for Yoshida and to allow Campbell to get playing time at first base without the pressure of learning the position at the major league level. The Red Sox are hoping that Campbell finds his swing while in Worcester and the expectation is that Campbell will be back with the MLB ball club sooner rather than later with the ability to play first base

Game #68 of Season
Pitching Matchup – Shane Baz (4-4, 4.26 ERA) vs Brayan Bello (5-0, 1.72 ERA)
The game was scoreless after 2 innings as Brayan Bello and Shane Baz were both sharp early. Bello Got himself into trouble in the top of the 3^rd inning when he hit Chandler Simpson with a pitch to start the inning and would walk Junior Caminero to load the bases for Jonathan Aranda with 1 out. Bello would fall behind in the count before throwing a changeup that stayed over the plate and Aranda launched a 422 foot bomb over the Red Sox bullpen in right-center for a grand slam giving Tampa Bay a 4-0 lead. Josh Lowe added a solo HR making it a 5-0 lead for the Rays after 3 innings while Brandon Lowe belted a 2-run HR to RF in the top of the 4^th making it 7-0. Josh Lowe smacked a 2-run HR off Brennan Bernardino in the top of the 5^th and Marcelo Mayer responded with a 2-run HR in the bottom of the 5^th to get the Red Sox on the board making it a 9-2 game. The score remained 9-2 into the bottom of the 7^th where Mayer picked up his 3^rd RBI of the night with a RBI single and Jarren Duran added a RBI single cutting the deficit to 9-4. Any hope of a Red Sox comeback was ended when Chandler Simpson took Greg Weissert deep for a 2-run HR with 2 outs in the top of the 8^th making it 11-4. The Red Sox went down quietly in the bottom of the 8^th and 9^th innings and the Rays win the opener of this 3 game series 11-4

* The Rays defeat the Red Sox in the opener of the series by a score of 11-4. The Rays improve to 36-30 and pull within 4 games of the 1^st place Red Sox who have lost 3 of their last 4 games and fall to 41-27 and their lead over the 2^nd place Yankees (36-28) is now down to 1.0 games

* The Rays slugged 5 HR in the ball game with Josh Lowe 2 (4), Brandon Lowe (14), Jonathan Aranda (5) and Chandler Simpson (1) all going deep for Tampa Bay

* Marcelo Mayer had a big night for Boston going 3 for 4 with a HR & 3 RBI and Mayer is now hitting .250 with 4 HR & 14 RBI in 17 games since making his major league debut with the Red Sox after being promoted from AAA Worcester

INJURY UPDATE
The Red Sox lineup will get a big boost tomorrow when Alex Bregman returns to the lineup after missing 20 games with an injured quad. Bregman was off to an excellent start in his first season with the Red Sox after signing with Boston in free agency. Bregman was hitting .291 with 12 HR & 37 RBI and the Red Sox really need his bat in the lineup after the recent trade of Rafael Devers. Bregman will return to his regular position at third base while Marcelo Mayer will take over duties as the everyday second baseman

TRANSACTIONS
The Red Sox will send 2B/SS David Hamilton down to AAA Worcester to make room for the return of Bregman on the active roster. Hamilton could be a trade candidate as the injury to Bregman opened the door for one of the top prospects in baseball as Marcelo Mayer made his MLB debut and been productive at the plate with the ability to give the Red Sox an impact bat to go along with quality defensive play at 3B, SS and 2B

Boston continued to swing the bats and add to their lead as the score was 18-5 after 7 innings. The Sox added 2 more runs in the bottom of the 8^th and would go on to win 20-6

* The Red Sox offense explodes for 20 runs on 25 hits as every hitter in the Red Sox lineup had at least 2 hits in the ball game as the Red Sox beat the Rays 20-6 to even the series at one game each and setting up a rubber match tomorrow night in the series finale.

Game #70 of Season
Pitching Matchup – Zack Littell (2-3, 2.54 ERA) vs Walker Buehler (4-5, 3.66 ERA)
The Rays opened the scoring in the top of the 2^nd on a solo HR by Josh Lowe gave Tampa Bay a 1-0 lead. Walker Buehler settled in and had not allowed a hit since the Lowe HR retiring 13 of the next 14 batters allowing just a walk to Ha-Seong Kim and the score remained 1-0 as Zack Littell was pitching well for the Rays until Boston tied the game in the bottom of the 6^th on a RBI sac fly by Wilyer Abreu and we would head to the 7^th inning tied 1-1. The Red Sox went to work after Littell recorded two quick outs to begin the bottom of the 7^th before Romy Gonzalez doubled off the green monster and Jarren Duran followed with a liner up the middle for a RBI single giving Boston a 2-1 lead. Garrett Whitlock had 2 strikes on Brandon Lowe with 2 outs in the top of the 8^th when he tried to put him away but hung a back door slider and Lowe absolutely crushed it launching a 459 foot 2-run HR giving the Rays a 3-2 lead and stunning the Fenway Park crowd. Garrett Cleavinger pitched a scoreless bottom of the 8^th and we would go to the 9^th inning with Tampa Bay leading 3-2. The Rays added some insurance in the top of the 9^th as they loaded the bases against Whitlock and Chandler Simpson would make it 4-2 with a RBI single. The Red Sox came up to bat against Pete Fairbanks in the bottom of the 9^th trailing 4-2 and Yoshida led off with a single bringing the tying run to the plate for Boston with nobody out. Marcelo Mayer lined a rocket the opposite way but Josh Lowe would make a nice running catch to take away a base hit for the 1^st out. Abraam Toro was up next and hit the ball hard on the ground but it was right at Brandon Lowe at second base who flipped to Kim at SS to start a game ending 4-6-3 double play and the Rays hold on to win 4-2 with Fairbanks recording his 24^th save of the season

* The Red Sox lose the series finale to the Rays 4-2 and the Rays take 2 out of 3 from the Red Sox at Fenway Park as Tampa Bay improves to 37-31 while the Red Sox fall to 42-28 and see their lead in the AL East cut down to 1.5 games over the 2^nd place Yankees while the Rays are now just 4.0 games back and tied with the Orioles for 3rd place in a tight AL East Stan

---- Jarren Duran went 2 for 4 with a double & 1 RBI
---- Masataka Yoshida went 2 for 4 with a single & double

Game #71 of Season
Pitching Matchup – Clarke Schmidt (6-3, 4.46 ERA) vs Garrett Crochet (8-2, 2.89 ERA)
The Yankees got out to a quick start against Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet as Cody Bellinger led off the ball game with a single and Anthony Volpe followed with a fly ball that carried over the green monster for a HR giving New York a 2-0 lead. The Yankees added another run in the top of the 2^nd on a RBI single by Paul Goldschmidt to take a 3-0 lead. Crochet settled in after a bit of a rocky start while Clarke Schmidt was pitching well for New York as he had all of his pitches working and had yet to allow a baserunner through 5 innings and we would go to the 6^th inning with the Yankees leading 3-0. Schmidt retired the side in the bottom of the 6^th and was perfect through 6 innings as we move to the 7^th inning with the Yankees up 3-0. Crochet finished off his outing with a 1-2-3 top of the 7^th and Jarren would break up the perfect game and no-hitter with a liner into CF leading off the bottom of the 7^th. Duran stole second base to put a man in scoring position with 1 out. Schmidt got Roman Anthony to fly out but Carlos Narvaez would come through with 2 outs as he drove a ball high off the green monster just missing a HR by an inch or two cutting the deficit to 3-1 with a RBI double. Yoshida flew out to end the inning sending the game to the 8^th inning with New York leading 3-1. Jorge Alcala replaced Crochet and pitched a 1-2-3 top of the 8^th while Luke Weaver took over for Schmidt and retired the Sox in order in the bottom half to send us to the 9^th inning with the Yankees up 3-1. Alcala recorded 2 quick outs to begin the top of the 9^th before Jorbit Vivas hit a high fly ball that carried into the monster seats for a huge 2-run HR pushing the lead to 5-1. Weaver retired Toto, Duran and Bregman in order in the bottom of the 9^th to finish off a 5-1 win for New York

* The Yankees take the opener of this 3 game series at Fenway Park as they beat the Red Sox 5-1 and are now just 0.5 back of the 1^st place Red Sox. The Red Sox have now lost 4 of their last 5 games and are 3-6 over their last 9

* Clarke Schmidt was outstanding for New York as he held the Red Sox to just 2 hits over 7 innings to earn the win to improve to 7-3 on the season despite being matched up against Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet who pitched 7 inning allowing 3 runs as Crochet falls to 8-3 with the loss in the opener

* The Yankees will have a chance to take over 1^st place in the AL East tomorrow night when they send Carlos Rodon to the mound while Richard Fitts gets the start for the Red Sox

Chapman retired Soler on a ground out to Bregman for the 1^st out before O’Hoppe singled to LF to bring the tying run to the plate for the Angels with 1 out. Ward dropped a bloop single into shallow LF and suddenly the Angels had two men on with Zach Neto coming to the plate. Neto made it 3 straight hits for the Angels with a liner into RF for a RBI single making it a one run game at 4-3. Jo Adell was up next and hit a deep drive to CF almost hitting a game winning HR but Jarren Duran made an outstanding catch crashing into the wall and the tying run would score on the sac fly as Chapman blows just his 2^nd save of the season and we were all tied up 4-4. Chapman would get the final out and we were headed to extra innings with the score tied 4-4. Boston reclaimed the lead in the top of the 10^th when Trevor Story launched a 2-run blast down the LF line putting the Red Sox up 6-4. Jordan Hicks came on to pitch the bottom of the 10^th for Boston looking to close it out and he would retire Newman and Schanuel for 2 outs bringing Lamont Wade to the plate with Luis Rengifo at third base as the extra innings runner with the Angels down to their final out.

* Garrett Crochet was coming off a 15 K performance in his last outing at Seattle and had recorded 37 Ks in 22 innings pitched over his last 3 starts coming into tonights game and Crochet would pitch well throwing 7 strong innings allowing 2 runs on 5 hits with 7 Ks & 1 walk as he was in line for the win before Chapman blew the save in the 9th

* Aroldis Chapman blew the save for just the 2^nd time this season for Boston as he has been the best closer in baseball through the first half of the season. The Angels would score 2 runs in the 9^th off Chapman to tie the game and force extra innings and Chapman rises to 1.24 on the season

dataurl656598.jpg dataurl656599.png dataurl656600.jpg

The Red Sox jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the 1^st inning when Alex Bregman launched his 17^th HR over the green monster in LF off Shane Bieber who came to Toronto in a trade with Cleveland last week. The score remained 2-0 until the top of the 3^rd when Nathan Lukes crushed a 441 foot solo HR to CF cutting the Sox lead to 2-1 and Alejandro Kirk would hit a 422 foot solo HR to CF in the top of the 4^th tying the game 2-2. The Red Sox reclaimed the lead in the bottom of the 5^th when Bieber left a slider over the plate to Alex Bregman who hit a rocket into the green monster seats for his 2^nd HR of the night and 18^th of the season giving Boston a 3-2 lead. The Red Sox extended their lead in the bottom of the 6^th when Masataka Yoshida lined a ball in the gap for a RBI double scoring a pair to make it 5-2. Roman Anthony, Jarren Duran and Trevor Story would each add a RBI as Boston sent 9 men to the plate in the inning and blew the game open as we head to the 7^th inning with the Red Sox now leading 8-2. Brayan Bello was pitching well but got into trouble in the top of the 7^th when Toronto loaded the bases with 1 out. Alex Cora stuck with Bello to face Joey Loperfido after a mound visit by pitching coach Andrew Bailey as Bello was only at 82 pitches and the Blue Jays had Vladimir Guerrero lurking in the on-deck circle. Bello would need just one pitch to get out of the jam as he ran a slider in on Loperfido who hit a ground ball to Bregman at third base to start a huge inning ending 5-4-3 double play keeping it a 8-2 game. Yoshida wrapped a ball around the Pesky pole in RF for a solo HR in the bottom of the 7^th making it 9-2. Isaiah Campbell came on to pitch and recorded two quick outs to begin the top of the 8^th before Addison Barger walker and Kirk singled to put two men on for Ty France who crushed a 3-run HR down the LF line cutting the deficit to 9-5. Daulton Varsho followed with a solo HR to CF as France and Varsho go back to back and suddenly it was a 9-6 ball game and Campbell was exiting as Justin Wilson came on looking to get the final out of the frame. Ernie Clement welcomed Wilson with a single and Lukes hammered a ball off the green monster for a RBI double making it 9-7 and Toronto was bringing the tying run to the plate. Wilson would bounce back with a huge K as Loperfido chased a 97 mph fastball up to end the top of the 8^th with the Blue Jays cutting the Red Sox lead to 9-7. Louie Varland pitched a scoreless bottom of the 8th for Toronto and the Blue Jays were coming up to bat in top t the 9^th trailing 9-7 with Aroldis Chapman making his way in to try and close it out for Boston with Vladimir Guerrero, Bo Bichette and Addison Barger due up for Toronto. Chapman retired Guerrero on a ground out to Bregman and Bichette on a fly ball to Abreu in RF and the Jays were quickly down to their final out. Barger stepped to the plate and battled to a full count before Chapman struck him out on an elevated fastball and the Red Sox take the opener of this 3 game series 9-7
