Friend of Nordhagen Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Timmy and Eloy never adjusted in their at-bats -- completely susceptible to sliders away because they're flying open. Tim should know better, as he's ALWAYS been a better hitter when he goes to right-center. Eloy's locked in when he's driving the ball between the alleys, too. Robert is the only one of the 3 who saw what was happening and shortened up, despite pulling the ball most of the year. He went to right on the slider. He has really grown this year.

brijames1957 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Going to be very important how TLR manages this last two and a half weeks of the season in as far as who sits and who plays. Remember the Sox don't start the playoffs until 4 days after the season ends. If you sit guys the last few regular season games thats a lot of days off.

Would have never guessed Robert would look to have a better hit tool than Eloy. He’s really impressive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zisk Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 The team looks disinterested to me. Maybe they'll flip a switch and turn it on soon. Then again, maybe not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One guy has had as much playoff success as anyone and one had zero. They may wimper out of he playoffs in three but I wouldn't think it is because the manager is unaware of how to prepare for the playoffs. It is maddening that two LHH were on the bench today who should have been given last evening off seeing as how Cobb seemed to struggle v LHH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GradMc Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) Feel sorry for Lopez. He found his niche in the bullpen and TLR showing once again he can"t leave well enough alone, puts him back into a position of historical failure. Looks like CWS is going to try to backing into the post-season. Others have tried that with some devastating consequences. If CWS does make it to the post season they will be excused early because ownership / management couldn't or wouldn't fortify this team with vetted difference makers. The time was now. They failed miserably. Edited September 16, 2021 by GradMc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They failed miserably. In case you missed it, we had 3 starting pitchers out at once. We still have one starting pitcher out. SOMEONE has to start these games. Kopech, Crochet, and Stiever aren't options. So who are you advocating for as the 5th starter right now? Jimmy Lambert? Then again, this is the guy that wagged his finger at us to tell us that Cleveland was going to pass the Sox in September, so I guess I shouldn't be suprised by this content. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
