Look at Ray Ray Run

Lol nice to see the marlins took distancing and etc serious.

Not really supposed to be steady rain, just some scattered thunderstorms. Fingers crossed.

Lol this place is too much

Yes because Dane dunning and Jimmy Lambert have proven they can get big leaguers out consistently.

What a high bomb.

Yes, if you want to comment on the kids performance and say he was awful - go right ahead. That's just what happened.

Twitter? here as well. Baseball is a privilege. In other nations that have baseball being played, if they have one positive they shut it down. Here? Teams are missing 3 starters and people don't blink an eye and are already saying absurd stuff.

All the comments about Lopez faking injury or illness during the middle of a Pandemic is exactly why I didn't think we deserved baseball to come back and why it shouldn't be played right now. Just shameful... have some perspective before you continue to clown a kid out there busting his ass. SMH

So Moncada got COVID again already? this place is too much.

well if people on twitter said it, they must know as authorities. these threads are always a riot when the sox lose.

Delmonico has no idea what he is doing in the outfield. Amazing that he plays everyday.

What a fucking baby marwin gonzalez is.

He's hurt. 100%.

It's not mental. His fastball is flat. It's that simple. The off speed is below and his fastball is flat with no command

You gotta know when you transition from grass to dirt, how many steps you have until the wall..

Lol

Reylo sucks.

Game plan very clearly seems to be "don't throw fastballs" but this strategy is going sour fast.

Lopez has no command of the fastball but the off speed looks much better. No release point on the fastball.

An out is an out.

1.5 wins over 162 games IF you set the optimal lineup every single day. No manager in baseball is doing that and health/rest alone makes that impossible. This season is 60 games so it wouldn't even be worth a win.

Tony wins the thread; shut it down and start a new one.

I'm not in the clubhouse and certainly not going to critique sitting Moncada. I'm pretty sure Renteria would like to play Moncada over not play him. I'm pretty sure everyone would, but he had Corona and was out for a while and has been back for like 10 days. Every team in baseball is grabbing rest early this season. Again though, lineup construction matters very little. Given how short the lead up was to this season, rest was inevitable early.

New lineup

I mean an optimal lineup - which literally no manager is setting daily - is worth like 1.5 wins over 162 game season. If you accept that it's worth maybe 8 runs over 162 games, which is a pretty accepted estimate, it's just meaningless to sit here and ridicule a managers choice on lineups. The fact is, a sub-optimal lineup will outperform an optimal one plenty of times throughout the course of the season because the differences are so small in the expected run scoring.
