The new Roman (Romy real first name) Empire.

Could we get to play the Pirates more often?

Don’t forget TLR and Goodwin who are frequent Soxtalk targets as well.

I don’t understand your statistic on Goodwin. Do you mean .589 on base percentage?. That can’t be.

Don’t recall many sacrifice flys this season.

Cesar is a Gold Glove winner. We need to ride his D, but he needs to up his offense pronto.

Romy is another former University of Miami Hurricanes star. Hopefully he works out as well as another UMiami star, Yasmani Grandal , and not like another former Miami player, Zach Collins. Welcome Romy.

The dreaded double play ball got us again. Get immunized fromDP ball with a hit and run injection. At least once in a while.

Good moves. I think Romy and Sheets will bring more power. Hamilton speed will be welcome. Foster is mop up material though. My only critical comment is why they didn’t DFA Lamb before, instead of Luis Gozalez who was a good oufielder that we lost to the Giants.

First time our Super Nasty Boys bullpen worked to perfection. Tepera, Kopech, Bummer, Kimbrel and Hendriks. Let’s bottle that.

And I also love the bat drops.

Stoney was saying that some days young players like AV get over matched by the pitchers. The worse news is that AV was facing Pirates pitching.

When is Engel coming back?

La Pantera was acting more like a cheetah speeding to catch that prey, er ball.

Sox broadcast chart showed 20% catch probability. I would venture with Goodwin it would have been 1% probability.

I am very glad that Goodwin was not playing CF in the 8 th. That line drive would have been at least a double. Not with La Pantera in there.

At least his defense has been good tonight. Rather have him in than Mendick.

This seems to be a recurring comment in Sox games recently.

Need to survive the dreaded 8 th inning.

He also hits into many double plays when he makes contact.

Wishful thinking. But at least didn’t hit into a DP.

TLR hardly ever pinch hits with one of our stars when they are resting on the bench.

Jose barely made it to 3 rd. It was a dicey play with no outs. But no harm done.

Is this related or aggravated by that swinging bunt play he tried to make?

I agree. Would have been a better choice. Cesar is a good hunter.
