@SoxNotes
AL leaders in extra-base hits:
1. Shohei Ohtani (LAA) – 21
T2. Xander Bogaerts (BOS) – 20
T2. Rafael Devers (BOS) – 20
T2. J.D. Martinez (BOS) – 20
This is only the third time the Sox have had 3 players record 20+ XBH in the team’s first 40 games (also 2000 & 2016).
Chavis can't field for s***. He's a mediocre 1B at best. He's a butcher at 2B and doesn't replace Arroyo.
Arroyo is just a damn good baseball player who can handle the bat and can go the other way to get a run in.
Duran hits 440' bomb yesterday
That's 4 dingers in 5 games.
Casas being very mean to a baseball yesterday too
Casas hit that off a lefty.
Also, lost cause Cam Cannon has a 984 OPS.
It hurt in 2011 because expectations were high. It would hurt less this year. It's the difference between the Sox losing to the Yanks in 99 and the Sox losing to the Yanks in 03.
