Why the heck are Grandal, Yoan and Harrison hitting ahead of Sheets who has been hot lately? Sheets hitting 8 th is another inexplicable TLR lineup decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you aren't an Engel guy, but he'd be more valuable playing in the OF than Sheets. Even against righties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have 2 really good, young, starting pitchers. They have a 1B in Vaughn. Everyone else is expendable. They need to rebuild again but only with a completely new management team, both on and off the field. Sox pitching has been good but we need to score more runs.

Heads22 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 i'd be curious what the record is for the first game in a series for every team in baseball, and how our 2-30 record in those game stacks up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible defensive all around and offensively on the road he sucks too. But citing WAR when he's at home isn't great. However I'd be the 1st one to send him down if you bring up Colas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kills him because he’s late on fastballs and is horrible at picking up spin. It'd be so nice to have bat speed metrics publicly available. I agree his bat looks much slower than it used to be, but it would be nice to know for certain. I've read about hitters (Nolan Arenando and Lars Nootbaar) going to driveline to increase bat speed and they've gotten great results from it. I'd love to see Yoan do something like that over the winter because there's no way the Sox have the coaches to help him with that in the org.

This team has shown it what it is; anyone watching or hoping at this point is doing just that - hoping; hoping they get on a random winning streak. Because nothing about this team has shown they can sustain winning baseball. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with playing him at 1B or DH. But he gives back all of the value you get from his bat by playing him in the outfield. Same with Vaughn.
