Batting orders are out of whack from what they used to be with the likes of Judge, and Schwaber batting leadoff, so batting cleanup isn’t what it used to be either. It used to be your best hitter hit third, which is where I think Raffy should hit, but it’s not the way they do things now.
-
When he was signed there was talk of him batting leadoff, but now it looks like he’ll start the season batting cleanup.
-
Agree, and REM Dawg was really terrible in the beginning. I just think a team like the Red Sox, or NESN can do better then what they have been trotting out there the last two years. An example of quantity doesn’t always add up to quality.
-
Good summation. Mata still has a way to go, and he has others ahead of him outside of Bello at this point.
-
Don’t care for Merloni, but to me he is definitely easier to listen to than Youk, and Middleton Yuck, and Yuck, and part of the Yuckers.
-
Good to see Turner back in the lineup today.
-
Sounds like one’s in, and one is out for now, and if, and when all is healthy both will be out untill someone gets hurt again.
-
Good post. Like I call them OB, and the YUCKers. All the good play by play the Red Sox have had going back to Curt Gowdy, and now to me it’s just second, or third rate, and getting worse.
-
Raffy back in the Red Sox lineup today. Glad to see he made it back from WBC in one piece.
-
Diaz to miss all of 2023 for Mets!
-
Plus all of Kluber’s accomplishments have been with other teams. If Cora didn’t want to go with Sale the only guy who has actually pitched the last few years is Pivetta. In other words slim Pickens.
-
Looks good, and the only question I have is if Whitlock gets 2-3 more appearances in would he start the season with the Sox, but in the pen.
-
I know what he said. I’m just saying to me if Wong hadn’t gotten injured he still would have gotten beaten out by Alfaro, so to me Wong being ready to open the season only means something for Worcester.
-
Kind of hard to do that when Bloom was looking for that 3rd option in the fork in the road.
-
Like I predicted a few weeks ago that Alfaro would beat out Wong injured, or not. We’ll see who’s right.
-
Alfaro is in. Wong is out.
-
If they carry 5 OF with Tapia, and the Ref Man that would leave the IF 1 less spot, which could leave Bobby D out, and Chang in.
-
Agree with all.
-
All this concern about Bobby D playing SS in a meaningless ST game to me is all about nothing. Like I said before there are a lot more things to be concerned about for the 2023 Red Sox than this.
-
So I guess Sale can’t pitch the second game either with this analogy, or will pitching him 2 days later make him more ready to go 5-6.
-
Whitlock threw 16 pitchers today with 3 K’s, and 1 BB.
-
No!
-
If it was someone better than Ref Man yes, but I’m just not high on Ref Man, and would take Tapia over him.
-
Amazingly he didn’t get hurt then.
-
Sale is going to be hyped up rather he pitches opening day, or the second day. I’m not worried about him arm. None of his problems last year was arm related.
