maxjusttyped Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I would guess Stone doesn't agree with Moncada having been the Sox best offensive player this season. Hearing he and Benetti have a conversation about that could have been enlightening. But alas. That already happened to some extent on Sunday over RBI's.

Not every team can be the Yankees, Astros, or Dodgers. No shit. We should be so fortunate. When it comes to the Sox “sustained success”, let’s start with back-to-back playoff appearances for the first time in team history (yes, I know about 1994). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully no more long balls. I was expecting Giolito to give up at least 3 runs tonight. Facing the same team in back to back starts is hard, especially one with as good of an offense as the Twins.

Yeah he has a lot of holes right now. I will be honest, I was expecting him to look a lot better at the plate. His hit tool has been really bad, and just being someone that hits homers and nothing else isn’t very valuable. He went from someone who I thought would be the key player in the rebuild to being clearly behind Moncada and Robert. I still love him though, as the Cubs homer was the highlight of the season.

He had a 13% K rate in 228 AAA PA's last season. There was every reason to expect him to come in and be a higher average, elite power, low strikeout guy from the beginning. What we've season this season is that he's a hacker who struggles to elevate the ball on anything middle or below. I'm hopeful the second part can be addressed with a swing change/alteration which is sorely needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
