Abreu just loves hitting in TX. He also had to hit two homeruns, one for each of his newborn twins. Duh...
at TEX 313 tOPS+ (3 HR, 7RBI)
at HOU 200 tOPS+ (1 HR, 6 RBI, 4 XBH)
His stance is more extreme than last season. He's adjusting to being a fulltime DH. Ever since his shoulder injury, his batting has been ROUGH.
As with Crawford, rest and rehab hasn't fixed the underlying issue most likely. Devers didn't even pick up a bat all offseason.
I agree about Youk and Millar. I was not fond of either of those guys. Youk's hat was probably on too tight because he would fill up dead space with a stream of nothingness. We already knew that Millar just likes to hear himself talk. He's better off on the talk show circuit or whatever.
Lou is knowledgeable. He speaks to multiple generations of fans as he can talk stats or just straight baseball. He also lets the game breathe and doesn't jabber on and on. It's nice to just have him on and watch a game. He doesn't take away from it.
My preference would be Monaco and Merloni for all the games. That would be a good hang.
How's he going to respond when CHB asks him a question about dinosaurs? We may get the most long winded and rambling response in the history of the Red Sox beat reporter.
Well I didn't really enjoy it. When he comes back and fills in from time to time, it doesn't hit. It was ok for the time, but I've enjoyed Orsillo and Scully's broadcasts far more. Only one of them is still around.
