9/15 - 9/17 @ Miami

[mvp 78]

2 mins agoBoston Red Sox outfielder Yairo Munoz left Thursday’s game versus Miami early due to lower back spasms. Prior to his departure, Munoz went 0-for-2 at the dish, ceding way in left field to Tzu-Wei Lin. Having seen consistent playing time since making his season debut on Sept. 1, Munoz has compiled a .333 average through his first 12 games. Despite not having drawn a walk this year, Munoz has flashed potential with six extra-base hits and two stolen bases.

How are the Marlins a playoff team?

[mvp 78]

Johan Quezada must be the Marlins version of Robinson Leyer.

How are the Marlins a playoff team?

 

Because 16 teams.

Devers' Aug. 29 slash line: .220/.264/.398, a .662 OPS and four homers.

 

Today: .293/.345/.550, an .894 OPS and a team-leading 11 homers.

 

Special hitter.

[mvp 78]

Verdugo is the best 2020 Red Sox.

 

@PeteAbe

Alex Verdugo now .328/.383/.514 and +7 DRS (6th among all OFs).

 

Was Mookie for Verdugo straight up a good deal?

[mvp 78]

This bullpen ROCKS!

[mvp 78]

The 2020 Sox are the strike out/throw out of MLB.

[TylerD]

We’re winning again. Not used to this.

[Bellhorn04]

Another potato for Brasier.

[Larry Cook]

Nice win today. Eovaldi looked good.

 

Verdugo, devers and bogey are keepers!

 

Dalbec and Martinez looked weak.

[Thunder]

Woo-WOO! Who has two thumbs and gets to make 3 more games worth of GTs? THIS GUY

He is certainly a source of vindication for Bloom.

[Thunder]

We haven't lost a series since the 5 gamer vs Toronto on Labor Day weekend

@redsoxstats

Remy says the Sox should shut down Eovaldi after today now that he's proven he's back healthy.

 

I don't get this sentiment.

[Kimmi]

Just in case you didn't realize there's a game on right now.

 

Some of us were in Zoom classes.

Woot!

 

I'm glad you like making game threads. LOL

[Bellhorn04]

I get it. We were talking about this earlier. On the one hand it would be nice to protect him from getting hurt in meaningless games. On the other, if teams start shutting guys down for that reason, it creates some possible issues for the integrity of the sport.

[Spudboy]

JD's decline from last year to this year is one of the worst one year drop offs that I've seen. His current fWAR is -.8. This is similar to what Pablo did when he joined the Sox.

 

The thing is that JD is here for one thing. To hit, and hit it hard. He can't run and he is a defensive liability.

 

At least Pablow could field his position, albeit generating seismic readings at the Weston Observatory. And he could run faster than JD.

 

Plus Pablow had comedic value.

[Thunder]

Woot!

 

I'm glad you like making game threads. LOL

 

Well, the more I make, the more it means we're winning!

[d-money]

Can we play spoilers against the Yankees? At least show up to this series and ruin it for them from winning the division.

If he were not 100% healthy, then shutting him down makes sense. But he worked his way back to health and pitched well. It's only 1 or 2 more starts anyway.

 

When he was working his way back, I initially posted that the Sox should just shut him down. I've changed my mind. The games might be meaningless to the Sox, but many of them are not meaningless to other teams.

Pablo definitely had comedic value to most of you guys.

It is time for the Red Sox to stop being the Yankees' punching bag.

Why do you think I have multiple screens?

On the other hand, JD had 2 great seasons and 1 great postseason for us.

 

Pablo had zero.

Had?

 

Who stopped?

[Spudboy]

Yes he did. It could be argued he was the best power bat in baseball those two years. For that he has some of my respect.

 

Now he just sucks. And sucks hard.

 

Trade him to some team that thinks they can fix him. Sox need pitching.
