8/12 Game Thread Sox@ Detroit finale noon start


Recommended Posts

Jimenez.  KNOW THE SITUATION AND WHAT YOUR OBJECTIVE IS UP THERE.   GEEZ.

Professional RBI at-bat there by Abreu, sensed the positioning of the infielders and knew he just needed to get it down on the right side of the infield.

Instinctual.

EE just missed that one, that was a hanger.

Encarnacion's closing in on going into one his patented 7-10 day tears where he puts up 3-5 homers and bunches of RBI's.

Fly the Parrot!    Free the Parrot?    Does his real parrot need to be socially-distanced and not allowed in dugout?

Cease, you need to locate that fastball a little bit better....big league hitters can handle that pitch, especially if they're looking for it.  Even 9th place hitters.

 

Smart baserunning by Castro moving into second.   Paying attention.

Sad to see Cabrera looking like this.  Kind of like King Felix.   Along with Pujols, one of the two best hitters of his generation in the years after Ramirez/Ortiz dominated the AL.   Harrelson just loved to talk about him as a hitter, and his approach to the game on that side of things.

Just doesn't have the drive/power with his lower body anymore.

So far, it has been a good thing that McCann waas behind the plate.  He moves his feet so much better, and his blocking technique is very good back there.  Grandal isn't half as good at it.  And with how often Cease has been in the dirt today, we are probably talking about at least 1 WP/PB in the first few innings.

Nice patience from McCann.   We have a lot more discipline out of that position than the Narvaez hacking years, although Omar was actually one of Hahn's Top 5 finds arguably.

 

That would have been out or off the wall in quite a few MLB stadiums in CF.   Robert's not that far off anymore.

Can't give Charlie Blackmon credit for a .400 season if he doesn't even play in 81 games.

Wat? Narvaez had a 12% walk rate ???
