Something something "Roman Empire", something something "Max Fried is cooked", something something "Friday night baseball".

I have a feeling the Password makes his debut tonight vs a lefty.

He is starting next two games per Cora. Two lefties.

One 0 for 4 game, and I can hear the jokes now - “time to change your password!”  “Your password isnt strong enough!”

Did I say “hear”?  I think I meant “make”…

Or, "Change your password to 000000!"

[Bellhorn04]

Let's go Joey G!

[moonslav59]

How about, "Hey YOU!?"

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

How cool would it be if Lowe turns into the 2018 version of Steve Pearce?

One of us.  One of us. One of us.

 

Also that nickname is too reminiscent of Joey Gallo…

It's definitely a work in progress.

So just call him "nickname pending?"

[moonslav59]

What should the line-up be? Where will Jh Garcia bat?

Where will he play? RF, LF, 1B?

Lowe is MLB's worst batter vs LHPs, this year. Romy at 1B & Rafaela at 2B? Garcia at 1B and Romy at 2B?

I might go with...

1. Romy 2B

2. Bregman 3B

3. Anthony RF

4. Story SS

5. Garcia 1B

6. Duran LF

7. Rafaela CF

8. Narvaez C

9. Eaton DH

My guess: Cora will keep Yoshida at DH, until Brez removes him from the 26.

Holy-- you're Cora! No wonder your posts are always so optimistic (compared to the rest of us, anyway).

My kid called Wong at C because Bello likes him, and I agreed because tomorrow is a day game after a night game, and Carlos catches Crochet.

Two things I don't think any of us called: Eaton at DH, and Word in CF -- but they both make sense if AC's looking for a right-handed Hammy to cause more havoc tonight, and keep Duran and his poor arm in LF (remember, Cora praised Garcia's outfield D in Spring Training).

So he’s just Word now?  His nickname has a nickname?

Im trying to push Ghost.  It’s just a cooler nickname.  Ghost Garcia.   Thats some serious rock star stuff right there…

[mvp 78]

Walker to pen? Ok.

Eaton at DH is kind of a bad joke. Eaton has several baseball skills, notably throwing and base-running, but his biggest weakness has always been hitting.  So Cora puts him in a position that involves just hitting.  

Just being right-handed is not enough here.  If Fried struggled against fungible righties, he  wouldn’t be in MLB..

You realize you've just shamed Eaton into getting two hits tonight.

I almost nailed it!

Wong over Narvaez- I shoulda known with Bello pitching.

I had JG at 1B, which was a stab.

Jh Garcia in CF over Duran is telling.

Fess up, Moon. You are Cora.

[moonslav59]

It will be interesting to see who the Sox send for winter workouts at 1B:

Campbell and or Jh Garcia?

Justin Gonzales?

If we don't trade Duran, what about him?

Maybe we can trade for that 1B whiz on San Fran!

Dump Yoshida's salary for their $30M 1B/DH.

I kinda surprised myself. I'm not usually this close.

I shoulda known Wong.

[Nineintime]

Another lotto ball bingo hopper lineup from Cora. Every game is demonstration in creative writing.  

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Unfortunately, Fried is due for a good start.
