Expand If the Sox win a series against the Rays while down Eloy, Robert, Kopech, Moncada, Madrigal, Fry, Hamilton, a hobbled Eaton, Grandal's average still sub-.200 (even if he's the god of walks), the bullpen still figuring itself out, Vaughn and Mercedes hitting the rookie wall, and Abreu in a slump ... I'd say we're in a pretty good spot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abreu is papa pito I expect him to start hitting soon and Vaughn has so much talent I have no worries about him and the rookie wall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greydawgfan1 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 (edited) Grandal at dh. this is a perfect lineup only changes should. be moncada when he’s healthy and Engel when he’s facing an ideal pitcher. Dh should be Vaughn, grandal, abreu, lamb until eloy comes back. other dudes can have at bats when we are desperate Edited June 16, 2021 by Greydawgfan1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Well, they may be easing Adam in with more off days than usual. Hoping they will also play him vs. LHPs, or at minimum bring him into the game after the starter is pulled. Thought Lamb may have played yesterday vs. today. @SoxFanForever , Lucas career splits show he is much better in day games than night games. This year’s stats are skewed by the Fenway early morning massacre. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.fcgi?id=giolilu01&year=Career&t=p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
