I didn't but the announcer isn't there so it'd be a weird comment for him unless he's using someone else's words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said he looked bad during BP. Didn't think he would be able to pinch hit. Like was mentioned earlier, the pinch hitting talk was probably a bluff, but maybe he could have Kirk Gibsoned it.

bmags Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 They should just add lights as bright as the sun to a side of the stadium to remove the shadow issue, than a sun shade to help block the new sun lighting issue, then another series of lights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need a Jimmy Guns appearance for a perfect RR game. I think this is quite the overreaction; as I said, this has more to do with batting 5th than the player playing imo. It sucks he's playing, but the match-up in 1 game isn't some absurdity vs McCann's career numbers vs righties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way the rules work you can replace the pitcher after the hitter is announced though; I guess if it was to lead off an inning and you wanted to bring in a new pitcher it could matter a little, but it's not like a team is preparing for Eloy as he sits on the bench like other sports.

If Eloy is a viable option or if he is not, can definitely change an opposing manager's mind. Although there are very few lefties the Sox would actually take down for a pinch hitter. Mazara for sure, but he isn't in the line up. They obviously thought there was a decent chance he is going to be able to play in the series or they would have left him off the roster. Until he is ready, you might as well say he could pinch hit. They could have him walk up to the on deck circle and that could make a difference how Oakland pitches to someone.

McCann was WAY overaggressive against the young kid yesterday. If we are gonna have somebody in there swinging the bat every time like they're trying to break the sound barrier, might as well be Edwin, he's the heavyweight champ of that particular thing.
