This nerd in the booth is killing me. Enough with him.

Tu Wei is only a one Wei player.

Big Al "Spy" Speier making it all clear to us unwashed

You don't like Stat Masterson?

[Thunder]

Damn what a wild game so far

[jung]

hit the bag. i have my headphones on and you can hear it hit the bag with the microphone in it.

 

I've got the sound off...just watching the video.

Since Tzu goes up and down so often from Pawsox to Boston, I think his father is the famous musician , Yo Yo Ma

Select one of the following:

A. ____ Pedroia

B._____ Holt

C._____ Nunez

D. ____ Lin

E._____ None of the Above

F. _____ Write In Choice

 

If the SOX acquire a 2nd baseman, where do you play Chavis?

Funny you mentioned that. I just told Slash I had muted the audio....i can't take it either.

[vegasbob]

For the moment, I think Chavis is the write-in choice. Not expecting an acquisition until maybe late July if nothing clicks with the existing guys

[vegasbob]

Hate to say it but I believe the back problems with JDM have cost him maybe 10% power which was evident the last two games.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Was the LF wall moved farther back during the off season? The SOX batters make it seem so.

[jung]

For the moment, I think Chavis is the write-in choice. Not expecting an acquisition until maybe late July if nothing clicks with the existing guys

 

I am now as worried about Holt as anybody else. Shoulder Impingement is fairly nebulous. But anything shoulder for a ballplayer is not encouraging news.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Considering everything, the SOX have been fortunate for what they've gotten from Chavis so far.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

BTW, the importance of Nunez on the SOX is magnified by the amount of concern for his absence.

I was being sarcastic if anyone didn't know that.

He has been a positive catalyst with a power bat and aggressive basserunning, which can work both ways. Maybe the bigger message is if you old fart World Champions don't want to exert yourselves, there's some guys looking for your jobs. Then the 2018 vets look at Chavis and say, " Now that you are out of the MiLB system, who else have you got, lol"

Who ? Or is he on first ?

[vegasbob]

I was being sarcastic if anyone didn't know that.

 

The fact you had to clarify it for some ( most not on this thread today) says it all.

[mvp 78]

Rico makes the call and is right again. Lin is no answer as a regular, except maybe for Pawsox

 

Lin isn't playing 2b today?

[DontCallMeUncleRico]

1B is not a problem for the Red Sox right now. lol.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Moving Moreland further down in the line-up was a good idea. Less pressure than batting 3rd.

[Slasher9]

Mitchie go BOOM

Sad that I know who you are talking about without having the game on. Not sure why NESN keeps putting him on. There must be someone better able to explain advanced stats to the audience.

[mvp 78]

I think it's management telling him that they want to see the Chavis thing through.

[vegasbob]

Lin isn't playing 2b today?

 

Lin is at SS today , but he is a small part of how to handle 2B, if Pedey, Holt, Nunez can't play well enough to continue. Chavis at 2B has not hurt the team and in fact may have brought some energy and positive results.

[mvp 78]

Mitchie go BOOM

 

On pace for 45 HR's.

 

WE MUST NOT RE-SIGN HIM THO BECAUSE WE NEED SAVINGS ON THE LUXURY TAX AND HIS SALARY IS TOO BURDENSOME.

NESN should give MOON a call.

I think Chavis is the answer at 2b for now. Not sure why Rico was questioning it.

I agree 200%.
