Tnetennba Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 Delmonico in RF. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butter Parque Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) I have to believe this is the first lineup against RHP. I don't hate Delmonico against RHP, along with Engel against LHP. We haven't seen Delmonico against RHP much lately. I'm resigned to the idea that Madrigal is not going to start with the big club.

That's how I'm interpreting it too. Interested to see how Delmonico handles RF. The lineup could use a LH bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EloyJenkins Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) I can live with this lineup. I am still wondering why Eloy is batting 6th. By midseason I really hope Eloy moves up and Abreu moves down. Robert will have a ton of RBI opportunities with EE, Grandal and Jimenez in front of him. Also, imagine having a lineup this deep that the ROY is batting 7th. Edited July 22, 2020 by EloyJenkins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abreu has earned it but if Eloy mashes even he will understand a move down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofaRoache Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Also, for those who haven't been paying attention, our World Series odds have skyrocketed in the last few weeks. We are typically between 20-1 to 25-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keuchel and Cease both look great and the bullpen seems to be in solid order. If Rodon and Lopez are above average, they have to get a wildcard spot at least.

Might not even miss Kopech if Cease and Lopez both are better than last year and if one of them is significantly better. Then there are wild cards coming off injury like Rodon, Lambert and Dunning. If the Sox end up jettisoning Herrera and Fulmer before the season starts or slightly after if they are ineffective and replace them with guys like Lambert, Dunning, Heuer. Would be a lot youth in the pen but it's decent depth in my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of right now: Bovada: 20-1 Bet Rivers: 24-1 (was 23-1 yesterday and 25-1 before we did dirty things to the Cubs) Bet Rivers also has their physical sportsbook open. Might be a fun spot to watch the game Friday and a little safer than a bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a zero tool player. If he wasn't left handed I'm not sure he'd even be on a 40 man. His defense is shockingly bad for a guy with his profile at the plate.
