Quin Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 1 hour ago, BamaDoc said: Many of our young players have grown with this staff. These coaches get at least next year to see where it goes. Barring a terrible year, likely more years. At that point, re Menechino, I want to see our young guys mature in regards to a two strike approach. I realize Robert is aggressive but the other game he saw four total pitches in four at bats. Overall, I am thrilled with this year. We are basically arriving a year early and reinforcements are still coming/arriving. For what it's worth, Menechino was his hitting coach at AAA last year.

Padres took the lead after their game* You have identified the precise problem. I’m increasingly worried the Sox could win the World Series, providing the perfect cover for the org to avoid making my favored personnel moves. Wouldn’t that be just our luck? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one of the best teams in baseball, and instead of enjoying it,you are worried about an internal conspiracy to make the team worse.

If hitting coaches are going to get blamed and ridiculed when an offense sucks, then they surely should get credit for when the offense is awesome. Whatever Menechino is doing is working, even if that means backing off when things are clicking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raBBit Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I can't say its definitively Menechino's influence but the Sox have had a new trend that I love. They seem to have a concerted effort to call time and step out on the pitcher to throw him out of his rhythm. I forgot which game it was but half the hitters did it the first time through. Just love the fighting and clawing for every edge compared to the trash we saw the first few weeks of the season and the last few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Luis Robert has been in a small slump. It was actually good to see him get a walk in a key at-bat. Can't wait until he starts crushing it again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcq Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 If the Sox want to go balls out they might as well bring Nick D back and Mazara can take a Flyer at Schaumburg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they wanted to go nutty they'd put Vaughn in RF and call up Mercedez or Collins so both real catchers can play. Recalling Nicky Delmonico isn't exact balls out ??.
