Heads22 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I've watched very little baseball the last four days, but I saw we went 3-1. I assume nothing else of consequence has happened, just that we've played good baseball and I plan to look no further into it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the plan A for DH, which I think many here told you all offseason was a colossal mistake. And well... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Sheets and Zavala are pretty much known quantities at this point, though not incapable of a surprising moment or two.

Zavala has been pretty darn good in a sss - he deserves props - but have to imagine regression is coming very soon. Rees is a fine glove first backup catcher that can’t hit a lick, which is about what he all thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seby played plenty last year and outside of his 3 homer game he pretty much sucks ass. McGuire had plenty of time in the Jays org to get a good read on him before coming over. Cueto at his age was really the only unknown quantity coming onto the Sox scene. Painting them as pleasant surprise additions seems pretty silly to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the plan A for DH, which I think many here told you all offseason was a colossal mistake. And well... Expand I said as long as Sheets, Vaughn, Eloy, and Engel were on the team they had to play somewhere (that being RF, LF, and DH/1st base...all of these observations were made in the conversations concerning whether money is spent on RF or 2nd base. I felt the available money should be at 2nd base. Nothing has changed my mind. Sheets has actually been better in RF than I thought. Vaughn was quite adequate in RF as well before being curtailed. Plan A for DH was all of the above plus Eloy. My wording of "addition" was meant in the context of being recently recalled but I agree he and Zavala don't qualify as new guys.

There was just a Tornado Warning in McHenry county. If they start this game they're wasting a Kopech start. Based on what I saw on the radar they have about an hour and a half window.

iWiN4PreP Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Yeah weather seems baad but not im not a radar dude so idk honestly, i root for this team to lose and lose bad right now.
