Ya think?

Good to hear even though your voice is a little raspy.
-
Dinger #2 off Crochet. Game not over.
-
Sox 3 for 5 with RISP.
-
Crochet has just 3 K's, but he's also thrown just 56 pitches in 5 innings.
-
Romy's OPS in August was .707. Sox defense tonight has been solid, with Story the standout.
-
What's the deal on Eaton for Anthony in RF?
-
That low inside breaking ball is death against Anthony.
-
Against righty starters, his OPS is .689, plus his DWAR is freaking -0.8. Hamilton's OPS in August was .918 and his DWAR is 1.3, 4th best in MLB. Gonzalez overall WAR is 1.2 and Hamilton's is 1.0. Agree completely Rafaela should stay in CF, but disagree Gonzalez ahead of Hamilton against righty starters.
-
Devers .905 was over 73 games, almost half a season because he didn't miss a single game. Since his lifetime OPS is ,858, I think it's hard to argue the .905 wasn't legit. If he was 1b instead of DH, I see his OPS dropping. Agree Casas likely to be .750 to .850, but we can't be sure that injury--running to 1b--wouldn't have occurred anyway, We agree on Yoshida. I did not say Abreu should DH, only that one of the three outfield lefty bats should against righty starters. I think Anthony was usually Cora's first choice to DH, but Duran would also be a good choice. Dinger by Lowe--to CF, yet. Good acquisition, and I remember being indifferent when I heard they signed him.

Absolutely brilliant swinging bunt by Narvaez. 4-1 on hard hit single by Anthony. Looks like Narvaez got picked off 2b.
-
Yessiree.
-
Bottom of the order comes thru nicely!!!
-
That hurt. Another hard hit ball, this one a dinger, also off a pitch well outside the strike zone. Sox hitters need to, well, hit the dadgum ball.
-
That at bat hurt. After 1 IP, Crochet 20 pitches, Cecconi 10.
-
Bellhorn to the rescue!!!
-
First inning and the ump has already screwed Crochet and handed a big gift to Cecconi.
-
You mean Yoshida?
-
20 pitches but no runs in the top of the 1st. That single was off a very low sweeper.
-
I want nothing more than to dump Yoshida. Are we clear? 😀 I think the Sox use him until Abreu, a better lefty bat, comes off the IL. If you will recall, I vociferously wanted one of Abreu, Duran, or Anthony to DH against righties when we had "4 outfielders." I agree Casas had/has potential, but the guy is freaking injury-prone. Swinging a bat and running to 1b, for crying out loud. Yes, I was being unfair about Casas short term OPS, but you wanted him as the DH and we know Devers was .905 as the DH.
-
Very interesting. You never fail to be that. Me, right now, I think I'd stay with Yoshida.
-
Are the Cardinals really that stupid?
-
Interesting about Houston and Luis Garcia. I say that because Houston should be saying, "did you see that freaking kid Tolle going for the Sox the other night?"
-
They started no freaking clock when they signed Bregman. But fate sure did. I'm saying Devers was excess once Bregman was signed and even though he was a terrific DH (OPS ,905). Don't forget Casas was already at 1b. Plus his hitting stunk before his injury. Maybe Devers hitting would have stunk too when playing 1b. Good point on the budget.
