chw42 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I was following the Giants game for fantasy baseball and noticed Joc Pederson has gained even more weight than when I saw him play against the Sox earlier in the year. He's still hitting, but his OF defense is all kinds of awful. Simply put, I don't think Joc Pederson is an option to fill RF this off-season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 This is easily Martin's best start of the season. He's throwing up to 98 MPH and has shown a really effective slider and change up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can throw 97-98 as a starter, he can probably reach 100 as a reliever. With his secondary stuff, that should play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I respect the hell out of Andrus' approach at the plate. He has basically no raw power, but he's still going up there looking to do damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Why is it when the Sox are up 2 this late in the game I feel like they are losing. We survived Joe Kelly so far.

Just a pitiful job this year. Absolutely insane Hahn kept claiming and retaining just awful relievers on the 40 man and never brought in SP.
