Hopefully. Problem is Marlins gave them an okay prospect back in return for an okay prospect. Hitter for pitcher, but not much depleting yet.

Collins is better than Reed. He may never have the career Castillo has had. That quote was misconstrued. I talked about TW's alignment being off with the putter. He made the fix that before his round Friday and the rest is history. With regard to the Sox, Reed is really bad, Collins is worse. Like choosing between a giant douche and a turd sandwich....I heard that somewhere before. Edited July 28, 2019 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScootsMcGoots Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 When Robert gets up and solidifies himself, should he be the leadoff hitter or hit in a run producing spot in the lineup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say he should lead off. Let Madrigal hit 2 so he can put the bat on the ball and move LR to 3rd after he steals second. Then you have Moncada and Eloy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Here's what I don't get....people in the media, including Farmer and DJ last night, keep pointing out how McCann is fatigued due to workload. Â With that in mind, why do they keep putting him at DH on nights he's not catching? Â All they're doing is running him into the ground. Â Also, the Sox have to be getting the worst DH production in the history of baseball since the DH was adopted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've thought he sucks for for 18 months and I believe him to be a non-prospect. He shouldn't be taking at bats from actual major league players. I'd rather Reed get the ABs than Collins. Collins flat out sucks. I dont know how anyone who hits .234 in A+ could possibly be considered an actual prospect. That guy's lack of contact would be exploited at the MLB level, and he was lost at the plate based on the fact that he had 14 K in 26 AB. Zack Collins is not a prospect. Edited July 28, 2019 by Jack Parkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) Brewers have the tying run at third against our old friend Derek Holland. Â Cishek just got lit up. Scratch that, another pitching change, third of the inning. Â Chatwood in. Â Two outs, Hiura up. Â Indians could be just 1 GB and have an easy schedule the next three series following KC.

Guess Kintzler is unavailable, or he doesn't trust him except the 6th/7th...which is weird if you look at the relievers he did choose. Edited July 28, 2019 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert, Madrigal, Moncada, Eloy, Abreu, Anderson, McCann, DH, FA RF or Leury. They need a left handed hitting DH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
