    I am wearing the exact same clothes I wore to the game Sunday, except for underwear.

    I showered and changed clothes Thursday and Friday and the Sox lost.

    I didn't shower or change clothes Sunday and the Sox won.

    Still wearing the same clothes (including underwear) and no shower, but I also haven't had to leave the house since Sunday.

    Haha how quick did I forget about Eaton.  Either way I don’t want to count on Engel being a regular part of a platoon.  He’s a fine defensive OF if he can stay healthy but the Sox must aim higher.  RF has been a big hole for far too long. 

    Tendering Engel doesn't mean they are counting on him to be a regular. He can be a 4th OF or be traded, and the arb price tag doesn't hinder either path.

    Formula is be patient, work the count and build up his pitch count, avoid swinging at sliders out of the zone and look for the fastball to hit.  Easier said than done, but if we execute we are in business.

    Be patient yes, but be looking for his sinker in a specific half of the plate. If he throws it there on the first pitch, crush it. If he doesn't throw it there until the third pitch, then wait until the third pitch then crush it. Take his sliders or his sinkers at the edges or off the plate, but don't take pitches just to take pitches.

    If he has trouble throwing his slider for strikes and the hitters are disciplined enough to lay off them, it can get ugly for him.
