ScootsMcGoots Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Los vs *gulp* Kluber 12:10 Central start time. I am looking for 3 things: 1) 6 solid innings from Rodon at least 2) Clean Defense 3) Eloy's first bomb Let's get it boys. Go into the home opener on a high note. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 It has been interesting seeing the use of catchers. It seems the playing time is divvy'd up on accordance to the pitcher throwing, not offensive considerations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCann: catching Rodon, Giolito. Castillo: Nova, Lopez. So based on first language? Edited April 3, 2019 by soxfan2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castillo: Nova, Lopez. So based on first language? I suppose. I thought they would play castillo against tougher righties as he at least has a shot, whereas mccan vs lefties is worse than castillo but better than vs righties. But McCann's game calling against the royals was good enough I'm fine with him continuing to work with the staff. Castillo...ugh. Hate that guy after his suspension.

I would be good with McCann catching Lopez too and Castillo catching Nova and Santana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abreu is going to play there most of the time. I think he just prefers to not DH, and the team is ok with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
