I have this fear our eyes are less tolerant than the organization's. Some of those guys will be back in AAA only to haunt us again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats Jose. You have helped make the price of admission worth it in this awful season. ANOTHER DINGER FOR JOSE! Nice blast, baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see him play every day the next 3 weeks Especially defensively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moan4Yoan Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) Why wasn’t Mendick up much sooner? Ridiculous considering how bad Yolmer was. Hopefully, Mendick tears it up the rest of the way and allows us to save $6 million by not bringing back Gatorade man.

Yolmer is by far the best 2B in baseball with the glove. I did not know this. It makes more sense now. He's blowing away the rest of the 2B in metrics. He's basically Jason Heyward but at 2B.

That’s just fine and dandy but Heyward’s bat has actually improved this year. Steve Stone must be fine with a .644 OPS at 2B. I’m not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t it make more sense for Madrigal to bat leadoff with Robert batting second? Someone on base for Robert to drive in via the long ball? I’m assuming when the Sox have these two guys in the lineup that they won’t be doing stupid things like bunting and playing for one run.

Either you are kidding or you don't think there should be fun in baseball. Yolmer is who he is. One of the worst players on one of the 10 worst teams in the league. He's OK. And I like the Gatorade dumping on himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert = Soriano Let Madrigal bat 2nd with the opportunity to work his magic- hit the ball the opposite way to move Robert from 2nd to 3rd. Never strikes out. That's the way I imagine it, although I understand your line of thinking in terms of having someone on for Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our lineup will be so good, that they’ll be batting 8th and 9th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendick can replace him for a very low cost and I’m sure he can dump a jug of Gatorade on his head just as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert has the ability to be a plus defender in CF. Soriano was awful defensively everywhere he played.
