This is exactly the type of weather it always was whenever I went to game with my wife when we were first dating...why the hell would she marry someone who would take her to a game where the best option was hot chocolate?!...I am a lucky man
Boy, a raking Moncada really makes the rebuild look much more promising. I always thought he was an exciting player to watch but man has he started strong...he is becoming a don't miss an at bat hittler and I love to watch him run.
You make a good point. Thanks for correcting me. I guess I am just annoyed at the stupid way they pursued Machado. Alonso works well on our roster...I just don't think they truly pursued him because he is a good fit for the Sox. But if it works out great. I have been very pleasantly surprised with his play so far.
Today's Sox Math Question:
Take the Number of regular season games the Sox have played this year.
Multiply that by the number of games Soxtalk thinks they have played this year.
Then add the number of balls Palka has misplayed and subtract how many days Jay has been on the IL.
The first correct answer gets the whole damn prize shelf and lunch with Chuck Garfien.
I am not crazy about the pick up just because it helped Cleveland clear some payroll that they did not want to pay and he was part of just a stupid ploy by Hahn but I agree he has looked good so far. He is definitely a professional hitter up there and his defense has been good when at 1B.
For fucks sake...give Rondon a start at 2B. But nope gotta run Yolmer out there every day...maybe he will come up again in the 9th inning and provide another craptacular at bat just like the first 2 games of the series.
Would the offense be better with a DH platoon of Davidson and Palka...maybe but then you've got 2 guys taking up that spot who are lousy defensively. Alonso should put up decent power numbers even though the reason they traded for him is a joke (no matter how much Hahn denies the reason why)
