I understand getting Hamilton one of the three games in the series in CF, but Leury is better vs LHP than RHP, so he should have been starting one of the other two games and not this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In keeping with his doppelganger Cano he's contractually obligated to be the super athletic guy that is moving like he did a hard leg day and then pulled his back shooting hoops.

South Side Hit Men Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) Having caught up on watching the condensed games, didn't realize Benintendi misplayed Vaughn's catchable ball which would have ended the top half of Saturday's first inning at 3-0. Also, the Tim Anderson swing at the Minor non pitch on Sunday was hilarious. Edited May 12, 2021 by South Side Hit Men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoedairy Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Morosi just mentioned Winker as a possible outfield add for the Sox. That would be.. awesome. Although he ended the segment talkin about Peralta which is less intriguing 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cincinnati could very well still be a contender by the trade deadline as well. The Sox will get 2 guys back after the trade deadline, we need help offensively right now.

iWiN4PreP Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 1) Can we keep this win streak going against a LHP??? This seems like an awesome match up for us to dominate. I'll be kind of disappointed if we lose this one! 2) Jesse Winker as a trade candidate? Hell yeah. But I highly doubt that.

Reds won't sell too early Sox are #1 in the league in wRC+ against LHP and it's really not all that close. Happ looks like he should be in for some regression (his xERA is 4.3 and his Baseball Savant page has a lot of blue). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 So many people are upset about TLR not playing to Leury's "strengths" vs LHP. Come on, guys. It's only been 33 games! It's not reasonable at all to expect a HOF manager to understand that a 9 year veteran on his own team has massive career platoon splits. How many managers in baseball are aware of that type of thing? Probably zero. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can play both CF & RF and actually has reverse splits and is stronger against RHP. And I can’t imagine the cost would be overly crazy if the Marlins decide to throw in the towel at some point.

They also have Corey Dickerson who would help vs RHP and provide some depth at RF/DH. I think those 2 guys are two of the most logical trade targets for the Sox. Good call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
