ScootsMcGoots Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 (edited) My first thread of the young (yet seemingly very long) season. See if we can get a winning streak going here. Fulmer (replacing the injured Migo) vs Leake Leake struck out 7 Astros in his last start, giving up 5 runs, only allowing one walk Mariners are 11-9 Sox Lineup: 1) Moncada 2) Avi (2 hits yesterday, see if he can keep it up) 3) Abreu 4) Delmonico 5) Beef 6) Yolmer 7) Matty D (Dude needs another 3 homer game) 8 ) Timmy 9) Ya boi Engel Edited April 23, 2018 by Scoots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Yeah, great idea to DH Yolmer and play Davidson at 3B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlackSox8 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Somehow Engel bought another day. Can we bat our pitchers there instead? Make the DH cover for the CF...couldn't be any worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truthfully, as long as Yolmer is hitting about .270 I'd put him second though. And I'd put Engel on the next plane to AAA baseball. My lineup would be Moncada (I guess) ss, Yolmer 3B, Abreu 1B, Avi RF, Davidson DH, Anderson SS, Trayce CF, Jacob May or Tilson (instead of Delmonico) LF, and whoever at catcher batting ninth. I think this is our optimal lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 What did Engel do that time? According to MLB.com, best fastball has been 94.7 and 94.8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're going to play that shallow that better be the type of play you make. especially when you're supposed to be an all glove CF. Just DFA him. He's a AAA player.

Jose Abreu Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I don't think I've ever disliked a player's skillset/game as much as Engel. The dude runs fasts. He's horrible at everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Leaving Engel up is a pretty clear example where the struggles are bleeding over to other areas of his game...doing no good having him struggle, and it's going to get someone injured when he tries to do too much to make up for his offensive ineptitude.

Replacement Level Poster Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Not sure Carson has any fastball command at all just has to find a release and hope it gets in the zone. There’s enough life on his stuff if he does,that he can be effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
