Expand I get that Moncada isn't great against lefties but hit him higher to give him a chance to improve. Against the lefty, I'd probably go with Cordell in LF and give Eloy a partial day off as the DH. Anything to get Alonso out. Edit: Yolmer is also solid against lefties so even him at 2B and Rondon at 1B (Abreu DH) or DH would be fine too. Literally anything is better.

TomPickle Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I echo the sentiments of @Chicago White Sox in that I don't want Jay and Alonso on the team together. HOWEVER, I think it might be even more petty to let them play one game together and then DFA Alonso. WHY IS YOUR DH HITTING 8TH? I'd say this is Mark Kotsay territory, but that would be giving Alonso too much credit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yeah if you're going to have a poor hitter in the lineup, you might as well at least improve your defense by having a guy like Eloy DH a game.

SoxAce Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Collins is going to have to hit lefties eventually. This is why it was baffling to me Ricky sits him yesterday if you knew you were going to sit him today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Giolito might need to throw a shutout with that bottom of the order today. I understand the hate for Alonso and Jay but don't forget Rondon, he has been awful this year as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiddleCoastBias Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I'll be in attendance tonight and for the Wednesday day game. I feel blessed to witness Jay's first game as a Sox - history in the making, boys! ? Hopefully Giolito is on his game tonight and keeps the Boston bats quiet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
