flavum Posted July 16, 2023 Author Share Posted July 16, 2023 Good game. Did some right things, and the Braves certainly did some bad things the Sox took advantage. TA- 7/16/22-7/15/23 85 games played. .229 hitter, 0 homers, 16 rbis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Great ending. Team played well. Graveman is not a closer, but we have known that. Nice change from last night. Braves are tough, but we knew that, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benintendi gets grief around here but it's not his fault he signed the biggest palehose contract. After that bum Pollock last year, I appreciate Benintendi, especially since they moved him to leadoff...I would like his defense to be better though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is just finding his groove. News flash Pedro just discovered that his Baseball For Dummies manual has a chapter two. Things are looking up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 9th was very Colome like....not this year's version but the one that constantly walked the tightrope but got the saves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many gopher balls to the team with the most homers in MLB this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone has a miscue every now and then, even the exceptional first basemen. He hustles. He also hits into some bad luck, getting robbed more often than anyone else. That'll even out. When he hits, he hits the ball hard. Still learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beni will be better once his wrist is 100%, we’ll see some homers from him too, not a slew but around 15 a year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AV looked bad last night with no plate discipline at all, I can’t believe he went after a pitch that was just about over head high, no one can hit a pitch that high. Grifol talked about the team needing to be more focused, AV didn’t get the memo last night. I like AV and I hope he eventually figures things out, if there’s a retool he should be part of the core.
