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.
I agree. Dalbec stays. Chavis for Brice. Santana for Cordero. Their bench isn't big enough to absorb these guys that are absolutely struggling right now.
Ian Browne:
Devers now batting second. Vazquez to the 5-hole. Arroyo now at second, batting seventh, with Hernandez in center. Again, Verdugo out due to a nagging back.
Game will be delayed.
Tony La Russa did not know that he could have used Jose Abreu at second base as the free runner instead of closer Liam Hendriks. Was informed of an amendment to rule by @JRFegan. "I'm guessing you know the rules better. Now I know," he said
