When a team plays Houston, there's no waiting for a bad starter to beat. Houston doesn't have a bad starter.

That probably is the game there. Xander look bad.

Bogey is a .275-.280 hitter. When the season's over, that's where he'll be.

Sale seems afraid to throw strikes

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I believe that the best hitter on the team s/b batting 3rd. On the SOX that would either be Betts or JD. I doubt Cora will move Betts to the 3rd spot, so JD s/b batting 3rd in every game he plays. C'mon, Cora, it's not rocket science.

Why do you think that? More specific, why should the best batter bat third?

Well this game is not out of reach. It will be interesting to see if the Astros throw down on us again tonight. They have a one run lead. Will they try to make it two and then simply determine that we just can't catch them with the innings that remain?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Does anyone here know if Nunez was ever struck in the face by a pitched ball while in the major league? I ask that because I've never seen a player more afraid of a baseball than Nunez.

The main reason is he'll get more at bats during the season than batting 4th, and he'll still have opportunities for RBI.

I am of the belief now that if you want to win, your best hitters should hit the most times. I would line them up 1-9 in order of how good they are

It's not how many times, it's how many times they can change the game. Betts hit 3 solo bombs in a game and it only tie the game up on his 3rd homer.

Not sure if you are joking........ but I'm almost leaning this way.

Leaning that I'm joking or leaning that JD s/b batting 3rd?

Replying to JM saying to bat the best players in order. I just think it's an interesting study. Not sure exactly what I think exactly.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice play by Holt.

[d-money]

Can this tie the damn game? This is a winnable game.
