I was talking strickly defense. I wanted Devers at 3B for his bat, and I don't think the hobbled Nunez is much better on defense at this point in time. I'd probably start Holt at 2B full time, and use Kinsler for defense late in the game (maybe moving Holt to 3B, if we have a lead).
-
I guess I combined the two.
-
By "always" I meant since he was ready to be called up. He really struggled for a couple years, but I stuck with him. My first favorite player was Tommy Harper, first when I was a Brewer fan and then when they traded him to Boston at the time my family moved to Portland, ME ads a Red Sox. After that, I was a huge Bill Lee, Rick Burleson and Luis Tiant fan. Ellis Burks, Tom Gordon, VTek & Pedro. Manny & Mueller. Uehara.

What a great game to watch last night. Getting out to a quick lead helped lessen the stress a little. Eovaldi looked awesome. If we had Bregman at 3B, instead of our circus of clowns, our playoff starter ERA would be about halved. JBJ has chosen the exact right time to have his customary red hot streak. Pearce has been a real gem. Let's hope Porcello continues his good pitching and we take the first 2 in Houston. GO SOX!

I'm overwhelmed with gratitude!
-
He ended up starting in the playoffs, even with worse numbers than others. Nobody wanted him back as our 3rd or 4th starter, but some wanted him as our 5/6.
-
Walking Bregman may be the right strategy. Others, not so much.
-
Very true, but many were saying they love JBJ even if he hits .600. There weren't many who had faith in his offense. I went overboard with my hopes that he might end up near .800, but I felt he could stay consistent and have that 7-10 day red hot streak he was known for in the 3 straight seasons before 2017. Maybe he's having that streak now, when it counts! GO JBJ!
-
Concerns about him being inconsistent are well founded. I'd love to have him back, but he will likely be too costly. I know it's not the same thing, but I remember people saying they wanted Fister back, too.
-
I thought he caught it and his glove hit the wall. It was hard to tell.
-
The pen did pretty good for 4 games vs the Yanks, so it's 7 now.
-
Schedules are made years ahead of time. Both Navy & WF have histories of being respectable opponents. Yes, Ball State & Vandy are patsies.
-
I'm highly skeptical. It's like signing the Super Bowl MVP and then watching him play like he did over the whole of his career....or worse.
-
Is WOPR going to be part of your resume?
-
Even more reason to hope the Yanks sign the guy.
-
There's not much we can do about 3B defense right now. Keep our fingers crossed is about all we can do.
-
Had we signed Moustakas instead of Moreland.....
-
I have no idea. I'm sure we won't DL Nunez, if we think he'll be okay. We'd lose him for the WS.
-
He may need 3 straight great starts to shut everyone up. I'm all in.
-
One game at a time!
-
I'm sure that's what Cora will do. He's not going to change horses midstream.
-
Maybe Holt at 3b and Kinsler at 2B? Maybe put Nunez on the DL, or whatever it's called, and add Lin to the roster?
-
I've never like Holt at 3B, but I'm wondering if it might be time to give him a shot. We can always PH for Kinsler and move Holt to 2B, if we need offense.
-
I wouldn't get to down on Barnes. Sometimes, you just miss your spots. I was impressed how quickly he regained. He was throwing nasty stuff after the BB.
-
We never were a two-man team. Sure, they led the way, and it's hard to look beyond their eye-opening achievements this year, but this team won a lot of games this year with other players and pitchers leading the way. Nice to see JBJ be a leader in two games, but it took others to set him up for success.
