caulfield12 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Winnin’ Ugly? Six blown saves for Barnes. Back to back games does him in. Now the big question is whether Colome can pull himself together mentally now that the heart of the lineup has already hit against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if Rondon throws to first.a run scores and they get an out. Devers hit a tapper back to Colome for what would have been the third out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough so that the Sox can move him at the TDL. He has to show some semblance of plate discipline for that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Just now, Balta1701 said: And his argument for that was that he was 16 for 16 on saves and only Colome and Hand were perfect on saves this year. Even if the rest of his argument is correct that he is a better bullpen piece than we're likely to find elsewhere, that part of the logic was terrible and that's not the only time we've heard it over the last month. And to illustrate how bad of a point it is - it fell apart today without it being his fault at all. Give me a fucking break Balta, this is petty as hell and you know it he isn't perfect now everyone! You see! He isn't perfect just like I told you all he wasn't! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is always lauded for his on field acumen and high baseball IQ. McCann is also in that group. Well...that's all the high baseball IQ players I can think of on the WS. McCann, Yolmer... there's a couple of guys on the team who are very smart baseball players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's selling out for power. Classic aging slugger profile. That's like a 110 wRC+ and a 1 WAR DH/1B. Sorry Jose, gotta move on in 2020 bud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it may be time to move on. 1 year deal, lower AAV deal at most. And to DH and not hit 3rd. Edited June 26, 2019 by soxfan2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a few more walks from Jose but as a classic low average high slugging corner guy. He was a bit before my time as well I think I only know him through RBI baseball.
