Hamilton continues to hit the ball hard. Keep him in the line-up. Why not?

HRs by Devers in 2024

 

1 put the Sox ahead 2-0 (man on) v SEA in 6-4 win on opening day. Useless? No.

 

2 Sox ahead 1-0, he hit a solo homer in a 12-2 win v LAA. Useless? It did not seem so, at teh time.

 

3 Sox up 2-0 v CLE, he hits a solo HR in 8-0 win. Useless? Maybe? Probably?

 

4 Up 7-2 v, MIN Devers hits a nrea meaningless HR. Sox win 9-2.

 

4 in last 4 games...

 

5 Down 4-2 v TBR, he jacks a solo blast in the 6th to make it down 4-3, we lost. To me, not useless.

 

6 Down 1-0 to TBR, his solo homer tied it 1-1. We lost 7-5. Not really a useless homer, despite losing by 2.

 

7 Down 3-2, his solo homer tied it. We ended up losing 10-6.

 

8 Today's homer tied it.

 

Sure, we wish he homered more often with men on base, but most of his homers were not useless or meaningless, when hit.

I'm all for riding the hot hands, in times like these.

 

He's got speed, too.

 

His D is worse than Rafaela and Romy at SS, though.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Good plays by both Wong and Devers.

Put him at 2nd. He seems more capable there.

Toronto refusing to give up their hold on last place.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Some teams used to fine pitchers for giving up 0-2 base hits.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Another fine start by a SOX pitcher that won't be rewarded with a win. In fact, depending how this inning goes, Crawford may end up with a loss. Truly pathetic.

Bernie throws the worst pitch of the game, his first, and shuts down the Cardinals on a trick play, Wong to Devers

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Wong scores on the rebound.

[mvp 78]

This offense stinks.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

SOX also projecting to break the MLB record for team strike outs. Solo HR's and strike outs. There's a last place combo.

Maybe now that Moon has shown that the vast majority of Raffy Devers HR's were significant when hit, it may be time to lighten up on observations of the rich , young Dominican. Grissom was trash even before showing up . Too bad guys, his earlier MLB activity and stats cannot save him now.

 

It most likely is time to note just how bad O'Neill has become over the month of May.

O'Neill is a hanging curve kind of guy.

The Adam Dunn Sox.

[mvp 78]

Tough play for a young prospect like Bernardino!

[Nick]

Someone suggested we offer him QO.

Unreal.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A taller SS would have had that.

He made up for it with that pick off throw to 2nd. Everything averages out.

Bernardone-oh

O’Neilll???

Hamilton is allergic to fielding.

Bernandino did not have very much in his arm tonight. Blows the hold and needs to come out now

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Cardinal announcer just said that Cora looks none too happy. No shite, moron. What's he got to be happy about? Oh, wait. This is the final year of his contract. I guess he can be happy about that.

He gone!

But he does put the bat on the ball, which is rare on this team. Nice play by Hamilton right in the middle of this post.

Hamilton is better defensively at 2nd, but you wouldn't want to take Grissom's bat out of the line-up.

[mvp 78]

What the f***….

[mvp 78]

I don’t care about the swim move, bad send.

[Tedballgame]

Stupid base running again

[Tedballgame]

Gonzalez is an idiot
