Capn12 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Well, team definitely not going to break the 'score in 1 inning' mantra that seems to be dominant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, this is crazy talk. Eloy was one of the better hits in baseball 2nd half last year. He’s in a funk, but DFA is so far from the equation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone remembers the last two years but he was also out of the 2020 playoff series for some baserunning injury I believe. Eloy is becoming extremely overrated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's gotta stay healthy and drive the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Sweeper doesn't let you see the dot on the ball like a slider and runs on more of a horizontal plane (2 pm to 8 pm rather than 130 to 730)... harder to pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomtom Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Oakland and KC are the only two teams in the AL with a worse record than the Sox, but I guarantee you both of those teams will win their season series with the Sox. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
