Dominikk85 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 (edited) The veteran "star" players moncada, eloy, abreu and grandal simply need to hit better. Tim, robert and vaughn have been quite good but the bottom of the lineup is quite bad and 3 guys hitting well is not enough. I think they can turn it around though. Moncada and eloy have been injured and should get better and abreu usually only picks it up in June or so. Age is a slight concern with abreu and grandal but I think they will be fine even if they are maybe slightly worse than the last years. Grandal and abreu actually have been quite unlucky by statcast xWOBA (albeit you have to consider that the dead ball might make xWOBA slightly more unreliable this year). Abreu 286 wOBA, 368 xwoba Grandal 251 woba, 321 xwoba Edited May 20, 2022 by Dominikk85 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralChamps21 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Sox are currently: 28th in OBP, 24th in SLG, 30th in BB%, 25th in ISO, 24th in WRC+ But hey, 3rd lowest K%. If we change the rules to make strikeouts worth 2 outs instead of 1, Menechino is a genius and the best hitting coach in MLB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I thought Jerry Goldsmith's Soundtrack from Hoosier was the best compliment to the movie, really helped bring one back to the 1950s, and was the best complimentary piece. That said, the best scene / song pairing was Elias' death in Platoon, as backed by Adagio For Strings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
