Wish they made up for it in OBP. At least one of them shouldn't be hitting in front of the power guys. TA could be a nice 9 slot hitter, like another leadoff man when the lineup rolls over. Maybe at his next stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TA and Benintendi are in the top five of MLB players with more at bats without a homer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this is a matter of debate, but Luis Robert is to me the obvious #2 hitter. I don't know why every team doesn't put their best hitter there and Robert has speed in addition to power. Perfect #2 hitter. Like, how many wasted at bats are there now over the course of the season with black holes Anderson and Benintendi taking those extra at bats? Unfortunately there's no one to lead off. Nobody gets on base on this team or walks. Sadly Benintendi is the best for the spot, I'd say Vaughn but at least he can ostensibly drive in runs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vote4Pedro Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) Never thought I’d see the day where not 1 but 2 Sox players with more plate appearances without a Hr than Nick Madrigal.. Edited June 17, 2023 by Vote4Pedro 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he only plays with a platoon advantage. 0 for 5 in five at bats vs. relievers. They have to pull him either for a LHP or for defense after 2-3 at bats. Not worth a roster spot when you have a four man position player bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not asking them to be replaced, as we dont have anybody better, Just asking to be more selective. They are swinging at many balls out of the zone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Let's face it. Sorry to be a broken record but Sox can't hit on the road. Did Andrus take responsibility for last night's gaffe or did nobody address it publicly. p.s. if ballgames were five innings Sox might win it all though. Sox have gotten good pitching thru 95 pitches or so lately. We gonna win tonight? I have no feel cept the bats appear dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the prediction in the previous post about Tanner Banks coming in after Kopech I'll say it sounds like another loss. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
