Now it's just a matter of pitch counts for both guys.

 

Frazier down to .217. Ouch. Still productive, at least. More than we can say for Avi, who's joining Dayan Viciedo in the "tease" category.

Yea that .988 OPS with runners in scoring position which is best on the Sox btw is terrible.Least of the Sox problems.

DJ: "I think Avi is an outstanding baseball player."

 

With the line of thinking he's put all those career numbers up so far at a young/er age, whereas Coats is just debuting at age 26.

 

"He's really a super athlete. He's only 24." Never heard that before about a Sox player.

 

Farmer wants to play him in CF, lol...leaving Eaton in RF, where he's more comfortable.

I wonder where Verlander would be right now had he not injured his core muscle(s?) a few years ago. It very obviously changed things, it still is a mystery exactly what happened but I bet calisthenics with Kate was the cause.

 

With the sheer amount of wear and tear on his body since 2006, it's remarkable both Verlander and Felix Hernandez are still as effective as they are at this point.

 

The same thing is happening with James Shields. When you throw over 200 innings (unless you're Mark Buehrle) for 9 consecutive seasons, it's going to keep eroding your stuff. It was inevitable physically, except almost no pitcher can make adjustments in their mid to late 30's and emulate Bartolo Colon in reinventing themselves, especially not keeping themselves in tip top physical condition.

Didn't say he was a problem...just that numbers with RISP tend to normalize over time.

 

Looking at the entire active roster, I'm least worried/concerned about Frazier and Eaton, and maybe Robertson.

A gradual decline, sure, but that core muscle injury was a workout injury. That isn't something you can count on as inevitable

Bunting with 2 outs lmao swing the f***ing bat

 

 

It wasn't the worst play in the world. McCann just made a great play.

 

That said, you'd like to see one of your best hitters have the confidence he can swing the bat and get a key base hit there.

 

 

Should be 4-1 now. Q deserves better than this from his teammates. It's almost becoming uncanny. Just his recording those 5 early victories was seemingly the anomaly, as he keeps ending up with 9 wins every year SOMEHOW. It's like the Giants and their even year thing.
