Erick Fedde

MSS.

Eric Fedde.

Eric Fedde.

Man, Eric Fedde is kind of like that...

He's like the hot chick, good-looking girl right at the bar.

She ain't top tier, right? She'd been around a lot, but she's still got her fastball.

Who gives a fuck? Like, you ain't got nothing better to do anyway.

So that's, that's exactly what it's...

That is the end of the day for Hudson.

Fedde comes in.

Perez's cade.

And this is actually probably a bigger moment than we realized in the moment, but, uh, Massey with a grounder to shortstop.

So it might on the score sheet look like Colson's 12th error, but that's more of a Munetaka Murakami error for me.

And later in the game, I think he did the same thing where he missed a ball that luckily hit the umpire and stayed right there and the runner didn't go anywhere.

Yes, and in the bottom of the second, this stands out because, uh, Jenson hits one off of Fedde.

He can't field it.

Yeah.

You had Fedde pitching.

Yeah.

Good reunion.

Now, again, the key stat is no runs, but just understand what we're talking about here.

Eric Fedde is a 4A ball player.

He is.

I know that that's something we don't say anymore.

Lord is unlikely to enter the rotation next year, but if they fully stretch him out, his sinker with a bonkers 21 inches of arm side run should induce plenty of ground balls.

Next, we have Eric Fedde in Kansas City.

Two and two-thirds sh- scoreless innings with four hits, two walks, and two strikeouts.

And Fedde followed Bryan Hudson, and did his usual dancing with the disco on his sweeper to moderate effect.

A scoreless outing is cool, but he didn't give us anything else to be happy about.

He pitched in 33 games this year, Fedde did, averaging 73 pitches per start, and just once did he induce double-digit whiffs when he had 10 whiffs on June 19th.

That should really tell you all you need to know about Fedde's 2027 outlook.

Don't trust the Feds.

Hopefully, the Cubbies can clinch tonight, and the Sox can take their second straight from the Royals.

Pitching match up of Fedde and Lugo.

Let's go.

Fedde's been throwing the heck out of the ball.

Sound like a dish.

Fedde and Lugo?

Mm.

So, it's a great restaurant right down here.

We're gonna talk about the offense 'cause that's the story, but I guess the, the- if we're looking at the Sox through the lens of the playoffs, Anthony Kay's not a bad place to start here either because you just, it's g- it's going to- the way that Will Venable has handled the pitching staff all season is the way that they're gonna handle it in the postseason, as in the way they're handling it tonight.

Brian Hudson, it was announced, will be the opener tonight against the Royals, and then it'll be Erick Fedde time.

It's maximum effort when it comes to pitching.

Good luck to Will Venable.
