May 6 Tigers (Turnbull) @ Red Sox (Eovaldi)

[moonslav59]

We need a win to turn the tide.

 

Nate the stopper is the man on the mound.

[mvp 78]

Too risky to watch the Sox on MLB.TV today since I have meetings from 1 - 4 and have to share my screen.

Apologies to Van Morrison.

Red Sox offense

275/326/490, 127 wRC+, Empty

248/328/384, 99 wRC+, Men On

240/318/390, 95 wRC+, Scoring Position

 

Last three weeks 228/310/351, 82 wRC+, with runners in scoring position. Absolute slog trying to get a big hit.

[TylerD]

Win. That’s all I got. Score 6 runs and hope for solid pitching.

If you lived in New England, nobody would mind

[TylerD]

I’m working from home today so I can watch the game. Last day working at home. Back in the office full time next week

Good to see Dugie back in there. Day game after a night game, so Plawecki behind the dish makes sense

I just want to see Dalbec get it going he may never and maybe we were fooled last year, but would love to see it.

[moonslav59]

Me, too.

 

Even if he ends up being sent down to work things out, I think he'll get another chance or two, later.

 

He may end up never working out, or he becomes a platoon player, but to me, he still has a lot of promise.

Agreed.

[moonslav59]

Yipee

 

Kike!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Thank goodness these guys don't play hockey. No way to keep Cordero out of the line-up.

[TylerD]

On the board early !!

[moonslav59]

How about a big crooked number?

[moonslav59]

Thank goodness these guys don't play hockey. No way to keep Cordero out of the line-up.

 

Another example of needing another everyday player on the bench and not 14 pitchers.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Not only is Cordero back in the line-up, he'll be batting lead-off.

[TylerD]

98. Wow. Smokin today!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

As a defensive RF, Renfroe hasn't done anything worth criticizing.

[moonslav59]

He's surprised me, there.

 

Also, he has not played LF, where I figured he'd platoon with Cordero.

[Thunder]

What happened to Kike

[TylerD]

Franchy with a double!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Holy blind squirrels. Maybe this guy needs to bat lead-off?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

What happened to Kike

 

Tight hamstring. Can't help but wonder if these type of injuries are caused by too much time in the weight room? Before there were weight rooms in baseball, there were never these amounts of muscle and tendon injuries.

In olden times guys probably just 'played through' those kinds of injuries a lot more too.

[moonslav59]

Check the replay to see if his eyes were open!

[TylerD]

Lol!

 

Well 2-1

[TylerD]

Devers. Make it 3-1!!
