Benetti’s homer calls are not much better either. The way he forces the home run yell high volume and over pronounces consonants at the ends if words.

Loved everything about him other than his home run calls later in his career. They became contrived and over the top after he added the “Yes!”. I liked it much better free form and spontaneous. Homers became cringe time.

That’s just a reminder not to sleep on Leury haunting this team forever. Hanser is fine of course. Unless the karma police get wind of Sox fans turning the page too soon!

I felt sorry for myself. And must hang onto my fear and depression until he is out of the organization. He’s an injury away.

I'll live . Have a great weekend.

I don't disagree on that point. Only that his valure as a player on this team would be based on his bat, not third base defense. And for some reason, third base defense is regarded as sacrsanct in the Moncada discussion. Way overrated.

Moncada's salary balanced against his actual production is a reason you couldn't trade him for anything. There, gave ya another. April 3 my man.

You telling me Andrus couldn't play third as well as Moncada can? Honestly I don't know where Moncada should be playing. And this past situation at second base, nothing says Moncada simply improved in the field in general since that small sample size snapshot in his career, and could play second base passably, where his occasional power would make him even more valuable. Sacrificing power at the altar of defense for third basemen is not a widespread model for sure. It would be very easy to replicate. Team don't do that for a reason. Power is that reason

i've never been anti-Moncada per say. Just that he shouldn't be playing third.

I mean, you can play a random light hitting shortstop at third. Moncada isn’t special in his play. Power at a power position is important. He just doesn’t belong at third base with his lack of power.

He’s sort of ramped it up before as the season unfolds. But yeah…

I mean….he is pre and post-excusing “Injuries definitely had an effect on my performance the last couple of years, but I can’t blame it all on the injuries. Especially this year, the past is the past. If I stay healthy, I’m going to be able to perform.”

So for those that have seen all Colas’ ABs, why is he not hitting lately. Do we have a problem? Edit: Oh I see that he just had a couple hits yesterday. Never mind the question probably unless there are any ideas what went on before that?

Correct. Not injured all the time. Only appears injured.

Wondering if Colas has been seeing different pitches lately

Wrong thread.

Long Ribs?

I really couldn’t see what the issue is. Maybe ran into the other guy’s elbow

Whats your name? Colas. Oscar Colas.

I mean, he never really panned out at third base with the bat, which is more i9mportant. Should have been put at second base and left there long ago to get power in the lineup. It's a mess.

well, theres a reason they should't play second basemen and light hitting shortstops at 3rd base. Need that power, sorry to say.

offense is more importance than defense at 3rd.
