If a reliever comes into the game and gets the last out of, let's say, the 7th inning. Does he have to come back and face two batters in the 8th inning? I don't think so, but I'm not sure.
Interesting by the fact that JD is being replaced in the line-up by Marwin. Never understood giving a hot hitter a day off, especially when he's the DH. It's also possible JD has a slight injury that hasn't been reported to the media or JD's lifetime stats against Montas are terrible.
Interesting, the 3 OP's who've achieved the most success so far this season have monikers that all start with the letter 'M.'
MAX, MOON, and MVP78. It's also interesting that 'Mojo' starts with the letter 'M.'
Coincidence? I don't think so.
If I had to choose the classiest SOX of all-time, I'd pick the late, great Bobby Doerr. I met Mr Doerr at YAZ's HOF ceremony. One of the nicest and most giving person I've ever met.
I was being a little less than serious, but EO has definitely looked comfortable with Wong catching him. No matter what Wong's future is as a SOX, he was a nice grab by Bloom.
I've watched all the SOX games so far this season and I don't believe Dalbec has embarrassed himself defensively at 1st base. In fact, I think he's adapted quite well to the position. My hope is that he continues to improve at the plate.
