Vulture Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 TLR seems to put Eaton second in the order whenever facing a top shelf starter, as if he’s going to suck less against them for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like injury luck is starting to hurt them as well. The loss of Plesac really only leaves them with 2 reliable starters now in Bieber and Civale. Sox play 4 in Cleveland next week. Wow that completely fucks them. As bad as the OF injuries have been for the Sox knock on wood the pitching has been pretty healthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked at Gio’s 7.00 era in the first inning and thought it was a good bet. He’s not fooling me! yeah this is kinda accurate but there were no prop bets that really aligned to betting against early sox offense that well.

If you really want to hedge it, TA is usually between +400 to +600 on a to hit a homer bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughn seems to have some troubles laying off high fastballs from RHP. Next step for him will be laying off those and getting in better counts. Seems like against RHP he's usually 1-2.

Capn12 Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Blake Rutherford must be looking at our RFer's stats, and thinking "Yeah, I could produce that little, and have way more upside." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he tho? He's little more than a C+ prospect, if that, at this point. Can he play CF?

My friend was there and said he'd never seen so much drunken nonsense and belligerent fans at a baseball game before. Not a good look hope they tighten it up I'll be going tomorrow.

Micker’s got five home runs in 58 at bats. Let’s just get these guys up if we’re going to have .600 ops and lackluster defense all around anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox could certainly be doing worse. Careful what you wish for. The Sox have had plenty of types like Rutherford come up and completely bomb, worse than replacement.

I think you've captured the problem, next step is to let him work it out, not while being on the active roster and hitting 2nd. He is struggling mightily in the last month (.177/.288/.292) and deserves a shot to actually get back to 100%. While he is gone, there are guys at least ready to prove they belong, or to bomb, but we'll never know, the way it is going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
