Condor13 Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 I know not many people like starting a gameday thread when Shields pitches so I'll do it. Shields vs Shoemaker Hopefully Shields keeps improving as he has pitched well above average in his last few starts. The offense was s*** again last night but should rebound nicely with a new look to the batting order bc Justin Morneau will be starting at DH. IMO Morneau should bat behind Frazier, but since RV is calling the shots I could see him batting behind Lawrie. I'm really excited for this game and too see how the offense looks with Morneau in it. Player of the game: Frazier (I feel a 2 run HR will happen) Prediction: Sox win 6-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Avi has two homers off Shoemaker. Lawrie is 6-15 against him. 7-3 Angels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 With Morneau now, I wonder if they'll push Anderson down to 9, and go Melky at 2? Eaton, Cabrera, Abreu, Morneau, Frazier, Lawrie, Garcia/Shuck, Catcher, Anderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Fireworks Man Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Abreu should be batting fifth or sixth until he starts hitting like a three or four again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No power at all, is my guess. Anderson has probably been close to if not better than Abreu in the power numbers since he was called up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 16, 2016 -> 05:12 PM) Still no Saladino. You'll see him even less now with Morneau on the team. If he couldn't get AB's with Avi as the primary DH he won't be getting any more now. I do think it's a good idea to get him in at 3rd base to DH Abreu against lefties with Frazier moving to 1st. Also to rest Lawrie and Anderson once a week. 2-3 times a week in the lineup would be good use of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eaton, Cabrera, Abreu, Morneau, Frazier, Lawrie, Garcia/Shuck, Catcher, Anderson No way I'd bat him last since he's probably one of our best hitters already. The speed at the bottom of the lineup does nothing for me since the Sox are a poor offensive team. Get the best hitters the most AB's and the worst hitters the least. Our catchers should be hitting 9th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) Anderson has absolutely no clue what is/isn't a strike. Hope he makes some adjustments in the 2nd half as the league will adjust to him. Edited July 17, 2016 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
