caulfield12 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Old friend Reese McGuire starting at catcher for the Red Sox. Seems more like he belongs in the AL East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valdez when is a GB machine. I would expect a HR more from Romy than I would from Colas against him. Hit HR's win games. If Romy goes 0-4 with 3 K's and an error I reserve the right to retract everything I said. How dare you look at this objectively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Probably won't face another lefty for a week+. Colas going to be in there a ton. Let's see if Romy can stay hot. I dig it for tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 It's criminal that Romy Gonzalez is the starting RF on Opening Day for a team trying to "contend" and it's not due to any type of injury. I understand why Colas isn't in the lineup, but the lack of depth in the franchise is insane. 2 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has something like 6 HR in his last 10 games. Hitting is extremely mental, and when you’re swinging a good stick, you want to keep it going. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone always says the depth is terrible but how would you know if young guys never get the opportunity for extended playing time. Also, there's always this sense that every other major league team has 1-9 above average starters and their back ups are replacement level which just isn't the case at all. Romy may very well fall flat and be awful but I'd rather see it happen then just assume it's going to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romy may very well fall flat and be awful but I'd rather see it happen then just assume it's going to. Romy had a AAA slash line of .198/.282/.339 in 135 PA's in 2022. His numbers were slightly better at the ML level in a similar number of PA's. "Opportunity" and Romy being the best option to start in RF on Opening Day are two very different things. Oh, and this will be the 4th time Romy Gonzalez is playing RF since he was in college as a 21 year old. Shame on Sox fans expecting a slightly better option for a premiere hitting position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
