  1. This is exactly what I've been saying. What does Vazquez do that makes him better than Leon? Neither can hit, and Leon is better defender.
  2. I don't think literally anyone here has suggested the starting pitching hasn't been absolutely horrible and isn't the problem. If Leon is called up, will he really make the team any worse than what Vazquez is doing though?
  3. At least Moreland is having a good season
  4. I don't understand the sarcastic Leon remarks. Name one thing Vazquez does better than Leon.
  5. I'm not saying he's good, he was a negative WAR player last year too, I'm saying Vazquez sucks too, and Leon is honestly a better option, due to how bad Vazquez sucks. The reason Leon is in AAA was money a money decision. No one is taking Vazquez with his salary and they aren't gonna release him and pay another guy to not be on the team.
  6. This is whats concerning. A lot of people thought the Sox pitching would get going this week with 6 games against Toronto and Baltimore. They are getting rocked by bums and no names.
  7. This team isn't this bad, I don't know whats going on and they'll like bust out eventually.. But they are burying themselves in the standings, and if they keep this s*** up, it'll be too late by time they finally figure it out..
  8. Or maybe it was due to the fact Vazquez was signed to a dumb extension, and is due $4 million in 2020, and $6 million in 2021 despite the fact he was a negative WAR player last season, and has been equally as bad to start 2019. There isn't much point to carry two "defensive" catchers, which Leon and Vazquez both are, so Swihart was given a spot due to the reason he is considered the best of the three offensively, and Vazquez was likely given the spot due to the guaranteed money the next two seasons, while Leon is on a 1 year deal. No one is saying Leon will save the season, and I don't think anyone thinks Leon and/or Vazquez are the catchers of the future, but there really isn't ANYTHING Vazquez does better than Leon, and this is more of a knock on Vazquez, than me thinking Leon is a savior and a star or anything.
  9. Where did anyone say Leon would increase Sales velocity? I have yet to see this argument from anyone, besides you claiming people said it would happen. I never said Leon would fix the pitching staff. But when two players both suck at hitting about equally, and one is clearly better defensively, why not go with the better defender in Leon? (And no, its really not close, Vazquez is incredibly overrated defensive).
  10. The starting pitching is very concerning right now. I don't understand, these guys are way too talented to be pitching this bad. Is it injuries? Is the pitching coach on the hot seat? This is just absurd.
  11. What's crazy about this Eugenio Velez guy is he played 259 career games and I have 0 recollection of who he is, and literally can't remember him, I even googled him and the picture offered no help.
  12. The Wild Card series should be at least a best of three. Its dumb that a 162 game season can come down to a 1 game playoff.
  13. This is almost all false. Leon just turned 30, Vazquez turns 29 this summer. There is a minimal age difference. Vazquez isn't a kid anymore, and isn't getting better, and he was for some reason signed to an extension through 2022. They both suck at hitting, but Vazquez was actually worse than Leon last season. Leon is a much better defender and isn't really close. Leon last season had a 1.1 Defensive WAR. for his whole career Vazquez is a 1 WAR player, was awful last season, and isn't off a great start this year, offensively or defensively. Vazquez sucks, and everyone knows it, except some fans in the Boston. Also, my argument has nothing to do with Sale, just to be clear, I just think Vazquez sucks.
  14. I doubt he ever becomes the player many thought he would be. He can't hit and his defense is overrated. If were going to go with a guy who can't hit at all, might as well go with Leon, his defense is better, and neither can hit.
  15. I mean expect dumb plays from Vazquez. He’s not very good
  16. So they couldn’t overturn Xander sliding into home in oakland, but can overturn that? Gotta love the consistency of replay
  17. That’s enough to overturn that?
  18. Jesus how many weak hit grounders for hits are Jays going to get?
  19. Just like that, game tied
  20. Much better. He’s been around 93, maxed out at 95
  21. At least a run scored
  22. 1st and 3rd no one out. Let’s score some runs
  23. Sale looks good thus far
