chw42 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) I really liked what Hernandez did in his debut. Got a hit that resulted in a 2 run inning and laid down an incredibly well placed and smart bunt (I don't like bunts, mind you) in the 8th to get 2 runners into scoring position when we really needed one more run.

I don’t get it. But so does Moncada *look*. One of life’s mysteries. I will say that as long as he shows smart speed on the basepaths and good small ball game, that is another team need on top of raw hitting and fielding. Going forward the Sox need a speed injection. That’s why I am hopeful on Cespedes because where else it can come from other than Robert I do not know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked what I saw with the bat...especially that he knows how to bunt. He didn't have many chances to show off defensively other than he covered 1st base nicely on that Cleveland bunt. Want to see him turn the DP and cover some grounders before I can say I like him. Overall I thought he looked very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boopa1219 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I like the Hernandez addition but he shouldn't be batting second at all. He should bat 7th, 8th or 9th. Especially when Grandal and Robert are healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I like Moncada batting second, he should bat there everyday when he's in the lineup and one the day's he not in the lineup, Vaughn should be hitting there. When everyone is healthy I hope the lineup looks like this...

Until you get back the rest of the starters, guys are going to be playing outside of the slots they really should be in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's very true but I'd still rather seeing Herhandez hitting 5th or 6th in our injury riddled lineup than bat second, especially when Moncada and Vaughn are there.

I don't like bunts either as sacrifices, but it looked like he was trying to bunt for a hit there, so I think it was a smart play. Sacrifice was worst case scenario in that situation (hit was the best case) and like you mentioned it is already the 8th inning and getting 2 guys in scoring position it is worth the out sacrifice in my book. Sacrificing in the 2nd inning or when you have 4-5 hard hit balls in a row is NOT the right situation to bunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
