Not sure the scouting report on Sheets defense, but even though Jose has gotten better he still isn't great over there. Think it'll be a wash. Hopefully....

Lefties are better at holding runners so we have that.  

I really thought Cesar would be there as a left handed bat.  I like the defense.

He just looked shaky over there when I saw him, but I've been wrong before.  Do love the lineup.

Sheets has pretty poor defensive marks. Jose is somehow more spry.

Playoff baseball. Pitching, defense, play for a run at a time. Make McCullers throw strikes, hit his mistakes. Hopefully the young guys are ready for the moment. Remember last years playoffs there were no fans. This place is going to be nuts today. 

They have a poor record against  McCullers.

Eye test when Sheets had played 1B is…….not good. Jose a MUCH better option. Is what it is tho. Let’s get it!

I remember the time Hawk was talking about a teammate he had in Tacoma...."I'll tell you what Wimpy, I've never seen anyone more spry.  Then one day Ted Williams told me it's all due to daily calisthenics."

Yes he has owned them twice this year. So hopefully they take a different approach to hitting him today. 

At the very least they've got to find a way to make him work. Both games this year he threw 94 pitches, one of them he lasted 6, one of them he lasted 7.

that's the best lineup we can throw out and you have Cesar for a pinch hit if you need him to try and run into one late.

Cesar, Vaughn, Billy, and Mendick on the bench makes me very happy.

Let's do this.

I agree. I hope the Sox game plan today is to really work the count. Lay off his best pitches and hit his mistakes. Every base runner is at a premium in these playoff games. A walk is as good as a hit is never more true than in these games.

The improvements are big. Let's get this guy.

Sadly Cease had a great game vs houston on 7/16 before tiring out and a bullpen collapse. But yeah we didn't do much after starting game with a double and single.
