My gosh, what a nice career. Sox blew it with him and obviously that guy on the Padres. Avi had years left, too. Avi was underrated. Even Avi would have looked mighty good at RF for the Sox now.

fathom Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Sox are back to having too many positions not providing power. The infield besides Abreu, LF and RF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maloney.adam Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) Anderson, Grandal and Hendricks are the leaders on the team. However, I don’t know if Anderson and Grandal are talking to the team enough in the dugout. I think they are more leaders on the field and trying to carry this team with their play. Anderson is distracted this year with his off the field issue so he’s not focused. Hendricks on the other hand seems like the type to talk both on the field and also in the dugout. We should sit him in the dugout more and see if that will light a fire under this team. Edited September 21, 2021 by maloney.adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) When we inevitably clinch some time later this week, this team will literally have nothing to play for for the next 1.5 weeks. Houston is probably gonna be 4-5 games up on us soon. If you guys thought the play has been sloppy recently, wait until there's literally nothing to play for mathematically. I think I might just take a nice vacation from the team until October 7th. Edited September 21, 2021 by chw42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put Eloy at DH every game and don’t let the core guys run hard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are still a contingent of posters here who thinks he is terrible! A lot of people also think Madrigal wasn't good. It doesn't make them right. production is production.

The inability of the offense to put consistently good at bats/games together are the main issue. 3 hits Saturday and 5 tonight. This will be why they go home quickly as it was last year. They cannot hit any bullpen. We need to play more small ball, putting the ball in play, putting runners in motion/avoiding DPs, moving the runners over, going the other way, cut down on 2 strike swings, not swinging for the fences on every pitch, working counts,taking walks. The way we are playing now unless we are hitting homers, it is hard to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he did an interview on the MLBNetwork and mentioned this. I think he’s talking to the guys but for some reason they don’t have him sitting in the dugout more which is where I think he needs to be right now.

It will never make sense to me how the Sox didn't end up with him. Maybe the Sox didn’t want to deal with Boras? Bryant was ideal complement , good power, fly ball hitter with upper cut swing. Can play several positions including RF. And we needed him. We didn’t need Kimbrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
