JUSTgottaBELIEVE 577 Posted August 20, 2020 But seriously, if the playoffs started tomorrow I’d be starting McCann over Grandal at catcher (assuming both healthy). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sox should move him before the deadline to get some value from him before he leaves for nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tnetennba 1,470 Posted August 20, 2020 Sox scratch 3 across and make Turnbull throw 37 pitches in the 1st. Let’s hope that long inning hasn’t cooled Gio off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grandal is a top catcher in MLB. We cant bury him over this handful of early games...theyre a drop in the bucket. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go to him, ask if he'd sign an extension if he were guaranteed a rotational role. If not, the way to maximize his value is trade him, unless you believe the Sox can win the World Series this year. I'm not saying they should trade him, just that this would be the logic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheTruth05 805 Posted August 20, 2020 (edited) Gio's pitch sequence with McCann is just better Edited August 20, 2020 by TheTruth05 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McCann is easily outplaying him this year. I also hear a lot about Grandal’s framing skills but it seems like our pitchers have performed better with McCann catching than Grandal. I don’t know how to look up CERA but that’s my sense at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tnetennba 1,470 Posted August 20, 2020 FB looking sharp today. Hitting 95. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EloyJenkins 833 Posted August 20, 2020 I know its the Tigers...but the lineup is starting to have some consistency in order and results and the Starting staff has most definitely started finding a groove. This looks like a playoff team right now. This weekend will really be a good eye test. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoCalChiSox 364 Posted August 20, 2020 Man Giolito is like a different guy with McCann. Unfortunately they made their bed and now they will have to sleep in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anything is possible. McCann has been the Sox best hitter behind Anderson. They will need him to make the playoffs and going into the playoffs. Shoot for the world series if you are making the playoffs. Edited August 20, 2020 by Yearnin' for Yermin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
