Twenty years ago today, @Nomar5 launched 3 HR, including 2 grand slams.
No @RedSox player has matched his 10 RBI since then.
@SoxNotes
The Red Sox:
- Have won each of their last 3 series
- Are 8-2 in their last 10 games
- Lead the AL in runs (52) and OBP (.368) in May
- Own MLB’s 2nd-lowest ERA since 4/24 (2.76)
- Have a 3.22 starting pitcher ERA since 4/12 (4th-lowest in MLB)
- Lead the AL with 9.99 SO/9.0 IP
Mallex Smith is defensive oriented? With his negative career dWAR, no wonder he got demoted. Braxton is definitely a poor man's JBJ.
The only way JBJ gets benched long term is if they bring up Castillo (i.e. it's not gonna happen).
I almost missed this thread. Thank you for bumping this.
Not sure they really needed another CIFer, but Curletta was decent last year in AA.
Asche is roster depth, I guess?
