Old school thinking was weight training was bad for baseball players. Maybe there was truth to that and players today are over conditioned

No lineup for Sox yet, but Reds have all their regulars in. What a concept

It’s hilarious you think calling someone a lib is an insult on a message board of a team that is located smack dab in the middle of one of the most liberal collections of districts in all the land.

Yeah you’re probably right. I’m more worried about Cleveland with their pitching though. If McKenzie figures out how to throw strikes their rotation is stacked

Cleveland has Ramirez, Reyes and Rosario Twins don’t have the pitching

Those are the guys we have either way

What do I look like, baseball-reference?

I prefer having the better contact/speed guy behind mercedes setting up the bottom of the order.

Madrigal Moncada Anderson Abreu Mercedes Eaton Vaughn Grandal Hamilton

I think now might be the time to move madrigal to the top of order and Anderson to the middle. We need a more consistent hitter in a run production spot to off set the loss of Robert’s bat and open the nine hole for Hamilton, who is the only option to come anywhere close to Robert’s defense in CF.

True

The only examples I could find were both from 2013 nba season, David Lee and Carl Landry. Both were age thirty and came back the next season, but Lee was never a starter again

Some sources are saying he’s out for the year. My impression is a broken bone would be far more favorable.

Grandal is never going to drive an offense. It’s all on TA, Abreu, Moncada, Mercedes and Vaughn now. Agreed on the Royals though

More likely to send them Collins to back up Contreras. Contreras was their catcher of the future anyway

Aside from the high amount of rbi, I’d say this has been the typical level of production from Eaton

There must be something wrong with the way players are conditioning. It’s crazy a guy with Robert’s physical abilities can suffer an injury like this from simply running.

The giants just traded for him though

It’s not difficult to find when you’ve got a the last guy on the bench who is hitting .204/.312/.344 since 2018 batting fifth as DH while a .400 hitter rides the pine

HOF brain. Lineups aren’t official until delivered to the ump

Why no Eaton vs Plesac?

Seriously? The Sox already had two days off. And they have two days off in middle of upcoming week. They don’t need any breaks

I’m guessing the final 140 games of the season may have some influence on the outcome.

That’s a massive difference

This is like buying a Lennon album and finding yoko’s on it
