Look at Ray Ray Run Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Gotta earn at bats by going 8-8 Vaughn, obviously. No one has earned at bats more than Nick Williams. Not for this team! Not with what he's been through and done for this organization. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how you can earn at bats when you aren't consistently given them. It is tough for any player to go out there once or twice every 4 or 5 days and hit well. But Tony even said Vaughn was having better AB's just a few days ago and he is still sitting. But some how Williams and Lamb have earned AB's 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirmin' for Yermin Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Yeah, tough to earn a spot when you're being handled this way. 3 at bats every 3 days? No one will succeed like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 (edited) Twins, Royals White Sox and division-leading Indians all separated by 1/2 game. Even the Tigers are only 1 1/2 back. Otoh, we could be tied for last after tonight, or alone in first with Twins completing DH against the suddenly resurgent Red Sox.

True sorry mainly meant pay much more than you'd expect Canha to get (given pending FA status) so that we can pry him away earlier in season and due to our desperation. I like Canha too, but spending capital to plug a single-year hole sucks. But he's good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing your fifth LF isn't going over so well. Nick is basically DeWayne Wise on a bad day. Not enough bullets or bows in your quiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan49 Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 How has Vaughn NOT earned it? He's clearly one of the better eyes on the team. He's seeing the most pitches per AB. He hit a ball hard on Sunday. Why fuck around with Nick Williams when Vaughn is getting close? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
