    Freeman is just a great hitter. Maybe the best LH hitter in MLB.
  2. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Masa has been cold of late. Abreu has been hot. Not rocket science.
  3. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I posted yesterday that common sense says play the hitter who's hot. I guess common sense isn't that common.
  4. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    No Abreu in the line-up. Is this a Cora scheduled day of rest? Seriously, how is he not in the line-up? Is it because Masa is making millions and Abreu is at league minimum?
  5. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    It's been said a team can't have too much pitching. A luxury the SOX seldom found themselves in. However, can a team have too much outfielders? I'm sure Cora will have to do some fancy juggling between now and the end of the season to determine which outfielders will start. Imho, Abreu has to start until he cools off, which I hope doesn't happen for quite a while. Duran won't return until after Sept 1st, at which point the SOX will be allowed 2 extra players on the bench. I don't see the SOX optioning Abreu back to WOO. SOX outfield after Duran returns: Duvall, Masa, Dugo, Duran, Ref, and Abreu.

    Lynn vs TBD This game, unfortunately, will be televised on Apple+ exclusively. And when it's a case of money vs fans, money will always win. In fact, money always wins no matter what or who the competition may be. Greedy A-holes. Go SOX!

    Maybe the closed roof simulated a night game.

    Btw, big shout out to Bello. He was awesome. 7 innings of 1 run pitching and gave the BP well-deserved rest. Great job!
  9. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Rest him sounds less harsh than bench him.
  10. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I can understand criticizing Dugo's offense, but I don't understand why he's dissed about his defense. Makes no sense.
  11. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Common sense says play the guy who's hot and that's Abreu. Sitting Masa a few games is a good idea.
  12. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Worst thing to happen to France since the Reign of Terror.
  13. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Too bad there's no 11-0 rule in baseball.
  14. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Masa just became a Francophile.
  15. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    10 earned runs charged to France. I doubt his ERA is still under 3.
  16. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Damn you, Dusty. You sure know how to ruin a good party.
  17. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    SOX knocking the pants off France.
  18. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Ground rule double.
  19. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    SOX treating arguably the Astros' best pitcher very unkindly.
  20. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Abreu! He may be the real deal.
  21. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Finding's not the problem; keeping is.
  22. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Judge is on a tear. 3 dingers last night and a 1st inning dinger today.
  23. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Bello vs France Dugo Devers Turner(1B) Duvall Masa(DH) Reyes Abreu(CF) Urias Wong Go SOX!
  24. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Obviously, the above should have been under game thread. Sorry. But the defensive badness is worth reading.
  25. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Bello vs France Dugo Devers Turner(1B) Duvall Masa(DH) Reyes Abreu(CF) Urias Wong The SOX have a chance of being the worst defensive team in MLB history since the Stat Cast era began. Outs Above Average, zero being average, appears to be the main stat in determining the status of a team's defense. The record for worst OAA was the 2017 Mets at -58. Right now the SOX are at -54. Catchers' defensive stats are not used in OAA. Kike, who's long gone, led with a -14. Casas is at -10, Devers is at -8, and Masa is at -6. In his few games with the SOX this season Story is at +2. Let's hope the SOX don't achieve that embarrassing record. Anyway, GO SOX!
