Do you think one of those two teams will win tonight ?
-
The guy finally gets a hit where the ball is retrievable by a fielder. About time
-
Some posters have been ripping his defense, especially footwork around second base (and that was evident on at least one play), but overall he has made his fielding acceptable. 2 errors in 70 chances
-
Is Michael Chavis doing what he can to clarify roster and lineup issues by free swinging and missing hard contact ?
-
Keep in mind the inning started with JBJr getting on base with a double. Makes a difference because the pitcher Swanson went into catatonic shock
-
I think they are paying attention to you, D
-
Now Beni must score him, not hard hit a fly ball, Beni Whiffs, leaving Jackie at third. Beni can be an enigma sometimes
-
Given an oppo field double by JBJr, Vazquez has just one job. Move him to third or score him. Vaz moves him up, so not bad
-
Max, you are usually very much right about the Sox stuff, but you ,read both notes as a slam , without redemption, of Cora. In that you are wrong.
-
Much agreed. i know he's trying to put a positive spin on it, but he would be better served to admit the team wasn't physically or mentally ready for the first 20+ games. It took playing up to their abilities to get to .500 . That's not a restart, it was a salvage job. Now go out from here at .667 and he's a genius again.
-
Thanks for the #'s. It might make a good comparison chart around mid-june to see who is hot and who is not over the next month, correlated to the current .500, and whatever the mid June record is.

The annual Jackie Bradley Jr thread (2019 Edition)
vegasbob replied to Station 13's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Excluding Pedey, Holt, Travis, and Lin for SSS reasons (20 JBJr is unique at .409 OPS as a regular . The next lowest OPS on the team is Rafael Devers at .783 . All others are above .800. Pretty notable gap. -
Correct. Blake was a peach, but now he's the pits.

The annual Jackie Bradley Jr thread (2019 Edition)
vegasbob replied to Station 13's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Jackie's catch was among the best you will ever see, mostly because he went so high and still tracked the ball into his glove. He had to be in that one and only position , mid-air, well before the ball got there. It definitely was a game saving grab. It may have been something else too. No question that Ryan Brasier gave up a game losing shot, once again, but JBJr's action saved him that embarassment and fan's heat. The catch shouldn't help Brasier's confidence because he was 6" from a blown game loss. Instead , Ryan gets credited with the win. Did he earn it or could feel good about it ? Not likely. But it may in a small way prevent him from losing all confidence. Brasier is by all observation still trending downward from his spectacular rise in 2018. So are a few other guys. -
My thought is that if you want Chavis playing , which he needs to do, then keep him at second. This team still needs a regular 2Bman, and among the other three there is no clear path to success.
-
Take tomorrow off guys.
-
You are on a TP roll again
-
Beni bashes, so who will try for the save ?
-
I do think the 108 win season, playoff victories and Ws win , followed by the soft ST work, took away any urgency or high level of motivation from this team. It doesn't matter too much whether they winn again or not except for those looking for contracts. The FO took off the winter and the players are wandering through their first 37 games
-
In 2 of the 3 games
-
Why do people tolerate Bradley on this team, errr I meant Brasier
-
let's see if Brasier can settle himself to a routine inning. If he blows it, Ryan will have confidence issues and become jittery every time.
-
Vazquez, Pearce or Chavis ? Not many choices here. I would PH Chavis for bradley, and Vaz for Leon (despite his 2 hits)
