Bad Hombre Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Archer scratched. Josh Winder starting instead. Wonder if that’s due to the sketchy forecast tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having Anderson on base gets you a run quicker than Abreu trying to drive Vaughn in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brijames1957 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 This team is bad in far too many area's to have any real shot at making the playoffs. They lead the AL in errors per game. They are second to last in walks per game and second to last in opponents walks per game. They are 3rd from last in extra base hit % They are third from last in At Bats Per HR So they can't field, they don't draw walks but give up a ton. They don't hit for power. This team was so poorly constructed. You have three guys who are 1B/DH playing the OF. The team is full of slow, unathletic types. Then on top of that guys you expected to produce like Grandal, Moncada, Jimenez and Pollock are giving you nothing. We will see how they respond tonight in what is a very big game for a lot of reasons. Lose tonight and I expect the Twins will sweep and the Sox will be in real danger of being out of the race by the break. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never liked the, "this is a must win" thing unless it's the end of the year or post season, but in this case i agree . we are on the edge of the precipice and leaning . everything that you said is very depressing, but, "You have three guys who are 1B/DH playing the OF" made me laugh out loud for some reason . this season is tearing at my sanity.

Definitely looks like anything goes tonight- postponed, rain shortened, suspended. Or they get lucky and dodge it. Just win. Today or tomorrow. Get a W.

35thstreetswarm Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Trying to make myself forget the embarrassment of the 7th inning and remember that we had a very impressive sweep in SF, followed by a game that really should have been their fourth win in a row. Hopefully we look back in two days saying “well, two out of three and we really should’ve swept them.” Start fresh tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't played long enough with the guys to form a bond and unity. That takes 500 PA's at the minimum. He also isn't allowed to run more than one base at a time or tag up.

pcq Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Engel Grandal and Moncada are broken down players. Robert is a baseball dunce. Eloy is damaged goods. These are the guys they will contend with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
