Honestly, I like Grandal batting in front of Jose. I think Yasmani taking all those pitches (currently 4th in the AL in pitches per PA) is really helping.

I don’t think the batting order means much, but I’d probably set it up this way: Anderson Moncada Abreu Eloy Grandal Robert EE Mazara Madrigal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YourWhatHurts Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 The Tigers offense blows. Lets see if Reynaldo can get anything over the plate today or if he's at like 60 pitches with 2 out in the 2nd. This should really be make or break for him now. A bad start here and he's a clear-cut RP the rest of the year and there's a high likelihood that today is his last start in a Sox uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tray Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) Against Giolito, the Tigers seemingly had a a game plan to take a lot of pitches rather than being aggressive at the plate. Giolito was lucky to have lasted as long as he did since he did not have his usual control. Today, it will be interesting to see the Tigers strategy and how ReyLo/Grandal try to counter it. If they decide to be patient at the plate and ReytLo can't throw strikes, that will obviously be problematic. On the other hand if ReyLo/Grandal try too hard to throw strikes early in the count, the Tigers may go to wailing on ReyLo's fast ball. In any case, ReyLo needs some calls on the corners . especially on his high fastball. If ReytLo doesn't get high strikes called, he could start bringing it down where it could be zoned in on and blasted.

South Side Hit Men Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Hoping for a Sox win, but continued Parrot suckage, so that it is clear to everyone on the planet including Rick Hahn that he shall not return, either at $12M or a lesser amount. Also holding out hope for a possibility of a phantom IL stint and Vaughn call-up. Also agree today was the best day for a Robert day off, let Engel get a start already. Engel should be starting more in RF as well.

He could've gotten back on track vs either of the 2 crappy Pirates pitchers too, and he didn't. He just looks a tad off. Having a day off and a day off where you can watch the game with players and coaches are not the same. He looks lost at the plate right now.
