CentralChamps21 Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 OK, maybe you want McGuire to catch Lambert and Jose gets a "1/2 day off" at DH, but then why Sheets over Yaz at 1B? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Interested to see whether the wind will blow in or out today. Either way I think we see two Burger home runs, one hitting the Piping Plover in RF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full day off for Harrison (back issues) ,1/2 day off Abreu. Our depth is better than last year. Our backup catcher is much better defensively. Sheets we get from the start of the year. Our backup OF ,Engel, is healthier atm. Burger, at this time last year, wasn't even on peoples minds to play in MLB. This is how you manage when there are injuries.

I wailed and gnashed my teeth all off-season about getting a #2 catcher to little avail until we got McGuire (that's his name right?) If he can he a batter, he looks like the real deal.

Tony Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 My meatball take for the day is if these guys keep winning, I don't mind TLR mixing things up and keeping guys fresh. As others have already mentioned, from an offensive side, this team is in fact pretty deep and they should take advantage of that by keeping guys active and in the lineup, which should help in the dog days of August. Vaughn being a platoon player is dumb as hell but I think he's going to hit well enough that TLR will be forced to make him an everyday guy...but other than that, I don't mind the different lineups every day...to a point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s in the lineup against a righty today in the 5 hole. I think it’s less he’s a platoon bat and more, Tony’s trying to get everyone in the lineup early on which he’s always done.

Jack Parkman Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Another game for Rake Burger. Even though I really like him, there really isn't a spot on the Sox for him other than as a bench player and I hope he raises his trade value enough that the Sox can use him as a centerpiece for a pitcher.
