Blue Jays Face Road Woes in Blowout Loss to Red Sox
Toronto Blue Jays struggle on the road against the Boston Red Sox, leading to a 15-1 defeat. The team introduces an iPitch machine to help hitters prepare for different pitching styles. Despite recent offensive success, pitcher Chris Bassitt struggles with inconsistent performance away from home.
Recently, Toronto Blue Jays hitting coach David Popkins suggested traveling with an iPitch machine to help hitters prepare for different pitchers. The iPitch can simulate various pitches, unlike the Trajekt, which is more realistic but heavier. The Blue Jays made room on their charter to bring the iPitch on their road trip due to their significant offensive home/road split this season. Despite some success on the trip, they suffered a 15-1 loss to the Red Sox on Saturday, with Chris Bassitt struggling on the mound. Bassitt faced command issues and a strong Red Sox offense, resulting in his shortest start in a long time. The Red Sox's approach and Bassitt's performance raised questions about his effectiveness on the road.
