chitownsportsfan Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 lol, Jason doesn't even realize 2nd or 3rd doesn't matter. Is it too much to ask in his 3rd year to know that run doesn't matter? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of agree with that. If you look at a guy like Pete Alonso, he got big, did all these commercials and somewhat sucked in 2020, but came in this season extremely focused, turned down some offers, and is looking a bit better. I listen to that podcast too and I think the point was completely absurd. Of course people can disagree, but having interests outside of baseball is healthy and normal. Giolito is arguably the best player on this team and clearly there's more to his life than just baseball. It'd be one thing if Moncada wasn't in great physical, but he is, and we saw how quickly he transitioned to a new position and excelled there immediately. Come on. The guy was practically dying on the field during games last season and still put up 1.6 WAR in 53 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandal is who he is. .240, .360 Moncada does make me a tad nervous (one good year) Grandal hitting .240 would be a massive improvement. .215 now in a sox uniform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Eloy comes back and assuming Yermin is still hitting decent and deserves at bats, I'm sorry to say this but Eloy is back in LF in this scenario.

Bob Sacamano Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 The good news is, besides the Dodgers and Red Sox, the rest of the league all seem within a couple games of each other. Just stay around .500 until the bats are able to find some consistency and the weather warms up. They will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Vaughn looking better at the field than at the plate. I think he will be fine eventually but I am ok with sending him down when minors start. I am not sure he is quite ready for Major League pitching yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
