Sane logic that burned us in game 2. Asshole. I think the truly amazing thing about this is the implication he is making is you can NOT take someone like Leurys bat out of the lineup ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sane logic that burned us in game 2. Asshole. Hernandez has a .660 OPS vs righties this year. This is including when he was "good" with Cleveland. He doesn't hit righties. It actually makes sense to play him vs lefties, not righties. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EloyJenkins Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 TLR is who we thought he was. The guy that is going to block the Sox from winning anything meaningful. AJ Hinch is laughing his ass off this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 I don't get leaving Goodwin off the roster if this is what we were worried about. He can hit righties better than these two. If we're not concerned about defense in RF, should be him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Not overly optimistic, but this could be our last game (and the last one that I'm guaranteed won't be during work). Lets get weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iWiN4PreP Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Haven't really posted in a number of months as i've moved back to Florida, got new job(s) and I am eagerly anticipating my first child, but wanted to chime in that I still haven't lost hope. We get the two here and then maybe the ball bounces our way for Game 5. We can take the Red Sox or Rays if we can get past the Astros! While I've hated a TON of moves (kimbrel trade, cesar trade, TLR signing, Keuchel signing), I've had a ton of fun following the team this year again. I hope tonights not the last, but if it is, cheers to them and all the fellow soxtalkers. OK have a good game thread. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then why didn’t they get a RF at the deadline. If they were serious about trying to win a World Series, then Garcia or Goodwin as options, to go along with Engel, is freaking embarrassing. If they thought they might eventually put Vaughn out there, then why not acquire a DH like Soler or Schwarber.

But yeah, tying up all your trade assets in a very volatile reliever even by relief pitcher standards maybe was pretty dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah - nevermind… I’m promoting blame culture and misspelling names. Your logic doesn’t appeal to me any longer. /green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
