hi8is 2,864 Posted October 10, 2021 In the pregame presser, TLR explained his logic for Leury over Engle as wanting to have Cesar’s left handed bat in against Garcia. Sane logic that burned us in game 2. Asshole. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maloney.adam 1,005 Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) We need to get a RF and a 2b in the offseason. The bottom of the lineup is garbage. Edited October 10, 2021 by maloney.adam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chw42 4,511 Posted October 10, 2021 Is Engel hurt? There's no excuse to play Leury in RF again after the debacle on Friday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The excuse is that Cesar and Leury are both swtich hitters, completely ignoring the fact that they'll combine to go 0-8. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having a weak ass hitter like Cesar in the lineup in the 9 spot isn't worth sacrificing a ton of defense in RF with a fly ball pitcher like Cease on the mound. Lefties do hit Garcia better, but like you said, the hitters we're talking about suck anyhow. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leury has to get on base a couple times to compensate for the lack of defense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flash 382 Posted October 10, 2021 Contrary to popular opinion, I like the Sox to take the next two games. Expecting Cease to pitch his ass off tonight and the Sox to muster enough offense to win a close one. Game 4, Sox win a blowout. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But having Leury start in OF again is just not great! Goodwin (who isn't all that great either) should have been on this roster! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Play Engel in RF and Leury at 2nd. Edited October 10, 2021 by maloney.adam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is 100pc about Tony hoping Leury has a big hit to redeem himself and zero about fielding the best team.

One of the more infuriating things about managers being stuck up their own ass about lefty righty matchups. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
