fathom Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 There was one player that looked confident at the plate tonight and had a plan. He only batted once in the 9th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, so if you make the assumption that Yermin has filled in nicely for Eloy at DH so far, then it's possible they'd be bad regardless of Eloy's injury.

I, like you still have hope for Moncada/Robert. But that hope is diminishing by the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBooneLoganEra Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 5 minutes ago, fathom said: It’s not like Robert has proven he’s a good enough hitter to bat 2nd. The offense is dead right now so put them in positions they prefer. If Yoan has protection from Abreu and starts to come around then Luis will come around with ample protection and it impacts the rest of the lineup. I'll settle for anything right now that gets Moncada out of the 4 hole. He is not a cleanup hitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Hated the hire since day one. I would have been fine just keeping Ricky or *gulp* giving Ozzie another shot. I would have preferred either of these alternatives to Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted yes, Tony didn't hurt Eloy or TA, he did not make the defense fuck up for a week or make the bullpen struggle early. I just haven't been impressed with really any of his decisions so far.

There’s plenty of blame to go around so far but when your team is struggling it’s a huge freakin problem when the manager isn’t putting them in the best position to succeed. A lot of things need to change and Tony is high on that list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFanForever Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Tony's managing reminds me of the late stage Ted Thompson GMing for the Packers. Lots of head scratchers with no real explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) A lot of Sox at bats are so boring. I still say the loss of Timmy and Eloy is huge. Lineup will improve a lot when Tim gets back. Can't wait for some of the other guys to get hot, which they will. Not so sure I like Robert's swinging at everything early in the count and my guy, Abreu's slow start, but hey, Sox still are going to be very good this year. .... I'm not a big fan of Lamb, though I was a fan of Dennis Lamp back in the day. Edited April 14, 2021 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be real, nobody in this lineup is an MLB caliber hitter right now except Eaton. The entire lineup outside of Eaton belongs in Charlotte. Mercedes ?
