Isn’t that though because he destroys LHP and bats 2nd more often against them?

They keep letting him pitch and throw 48 mph fastballs and he’s going to get creamed by a liner up the middle

So then my question is if Sox catchers do a bad job at framing? Great work on this

If Pineda does hit him, the cheating bastard won’t be able to use lack of pine tar as an excuse.

Sorta Sox related but Trout suffered some type of leg injury vs Indians. Had to leave the game. Would be surprised if he avoids the DL.

Astudillo

Was gonna avoid thread tonight but wanted to say congrats Madrigal

Problem is you then go to NY and face Cole and they’re lined up for Flaherty next week. Gotta get some offense going, especially from left side.

Yep the talent level of the offense is dreadfully thin right now

Abreu out for the series with ankle inflammation

This version of Madrigal would be a disappointment IMO

Hahn is going to have to acquire a righty set up man. Heuer is just terrible in his second inning of work.

Who knows, maybe this will be the catalyst for Tony to see that some of these slappy hitters suck

His leg kick is way too high right now.

Must be nice fading a split-squad caliber lineup

Btw, not a single curve thrown by Cease in the first

Gonna win with speed, defense and pitching baby!!!

Eaton is as bad as it gets right now. Brings nothing to the table

Good lord Eaton is bad. But he’s a winner, right Tony

John Holmes

I would be very surprised if Stoney said something that Jerry vehemently disagreed with. Yoan has long been my pick for the player some in the organization didn’t think he knew what it took to be a champion.

Yep we’ve all said it but the lineup is too slappy right now. When Yermin is playing like an MVP it alleviates some of the weaknesses, but it’s a lot to ask for someone with his limited track record. Good news is Abreu looks ready to go on an extended hitting year.

Don’t worry, Stoney has a history of quickly letting go of grudges....not

Joey Gallo would really balance the lineup IMO. They have a severe lack of lefty power.

One Twins win today really has you this scared? I will be honest, KC seems like just as good of a team as the Twins this year.
