GB himself said on the broadcast that he was more of a football than a baseball guy. His family were mostly footballers. Maybe he got hit on the head one too many times playing football in high school.
Our defense has been bad as well. Balls hit tonight over Leury and Vaughn’s heads tonight should have been caught. Our catchers cannot throw anybody out.
The Astros are what the Sox would have been with Eloy and Robert. Offensive juggernaut and good pitching. Better team than the current Sox offensively and defensively. We hold better with pitching however.
Collins was over matched today and so was Mendick. I would have liked Leury in this game. He has been one of our better hitters lately. I would have left Heuer pitch the 9th. He was looking good with few pitches in the 8 th.
