2Deep Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 TA has been hot 🔥 garbage lately. I proposed this in the game thread last night..... He should start his suspension on Sunday, off day Monday, and DH in KC on Tuesday. This way he gets 3 days to get himself together for stretch run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A radical idea that I am sure our ultra intelligent manager will veto. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been mostly happy with it. Charcoal using the minions method with some post oak. My brisket is almost as good as twelve hours of watching a wood fire and I can't tell the difference with pulled pork or chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully a step in the right direction. His velocity was great but slider was total garbage last game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think he could use the 3 days to get his head straight. OR take the suspension on Tuesday and Wednesday......that would cover 3 games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s only 26 and has been good except for this season. Wonder if something weird happened for them to just dump him like that. If the Sox were trying to win this season, they’d pick him up and option Sheets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) 24 minutes ago, fathom said: His velocity was great but slider was total garbage last game His slider has very little horizontal movement this year. In the last game he was getting on average just 3 inches of horizontal break on it. I'm not sure you can even call it a slider when it moves that little horizontally. It's honestly more of a cutter. He had way better movement on his slider last year. They might have tried tinkering with his slider this year cause they were suspicious that he was tipping the pitch. And it looks like he was. There was a 2 inch difference between his average slider release point vs. fastball release point. Most guys on the Sox have about a 1 inch difference between their release points for different pitches, some even less. Liam has almost no difference between his slider and fastball release point, which is probably how he gets so many guys to swing at his sliders way out of the zone. The problem with the tinkering is that there is still about the same difference in release point as last year, but now the shape of the pitch is worse. It's crazy to me that Katz has gotten Cease to throw what is probably the best slider in the Majors this year, but Kopech's slider has heavily regressed.

Just tell Grandal to walk as much as he can and to keep that double thing up he hit yesterday. Also wouldn’t mind moving Moncada and sheets spots.

South Side Hit Men Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Just now, 2Deep said: They really ought to give Tony a breathalyzer before he is allowed to create a lineup. Grandal second? So by the off chance he reaches, he can just clog up the bases. He has a pitcheresque 6 runs total this season, and scored his first run last night since May 26. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 If the Sox weren’t tanking this season and you want to rest Robert, the lineup should be: SS Anderson 3B Moncada # LF Jimenez 1B Abreu DH Sheets ^ CF Pollock C Grandal # 2B Garcia RF Engel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Grandal second.....its like throwing darts to put together a lineup. I mean, Yas is such a prototypical 2 hitter, with all that speed and the runs scored this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLR has a gut feeling that both Grandal and Moncada are about to break out and start hitting. He also has a gut feeling that Grandal is going to grow wings before the game so when he gets on base 4 times tonight he will be able to score easily on a double by Eloy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a good lineup, but at least you have a decent outfield (swapping out the worst corners possible in Vaughn and Sheets). What they should do for the remaining two months to maximize offense / defense is: SS Anderson CF Robert LF Eloy 1B Abreu 3B Moncada # DH Vaughn RF Pollock C Grandal # 2B Harrison Reserves: 3B Burger; OF Engel ,2B/SS Leury C Zavala Option to Charlotte: DH Sheets Edited August 6, 2022 by South Side Hit Men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
