3-4-5-3
That's how many wins the Sox have had after I started a game thread.
It's up to one, now. Will we hit 4 and keep the pattern going, or will I "regress to the norm?"
So many of our off season questions are being answered in good ways.
We tend to hear more about the ones that are not, but such is the way of the world.
The official moves today:
Brice DFA'd- Duran added to 40 man and called up.
Marwin placed on 10 day IL (right hamstring)- Houck called up.
Santana sent on rehab assignment to AAA.
Actually, I said this after his last HR.
Yes, it's a bit premature, but this guy looks like a grinder.
He actually reminds me of Pedey. (Not saying he will be that great, but his approach is similar.)
This year, Dalbec is .599 v RHPs and .799 vs LHPs.
That .799 number is top 9 on the team, so yes, he should play vs LHPs.
Why bench a .799 hitter so one of these guys play instead?
2021 OPS vs LHPs
.506 Verdugo (Why is nobody talking Verdugo platoon? He's .687 career.)
.521 Vaz (cant't platoon with anyone buy Plawecki/Wong)
.616 Santana
.683 Devers (do not platoon Devers)
.700 Chavis
.752 Plawecki
.784 Kike (.816 career)
.788 Marwin (.728 career)
.798 Dalbec (.859 career)
.858 Arroyo (career splits are nearly identical but in the 680's)
Dalbec can play vs every LHP. That may be only 3-4 times out of 10 games.
Arroyo or Kike play 1B vs RHPs. The other plays 2B.
vs LHPs, Arroyo plays 2B and Kike plays the OF as Verdugo or Duran sit.
