I bet Yolmer had such an amazing celebration planned. I can't wait to hear about what his favorite vacation was tomorrow during the broadcast and have Stone/Benetti act like he's the funniest person on the planet.
Also notice how perfect their defensive positioning has been the last two nights? Definitely plays into how well their starters have performed this year.
I absolutely get that, but why are we giving those guys at bats? No reason Collins isn't getting at bats at DH and Mendick playing 2nd base. This lineup looks like a first year rebuilding team, not one that is hoping the window is open the next year.
I just can't get over how stupid Yolmer was in his at bats tonight. Chasing curve after curve way off the plate. He really should be DFA and give Mendick some at bats.
Just be grateful he was never the key piece in any of the major trades the Sox made a few years ago. And holy shit has Yolmer's at bats been pathetic tonight.
I don't get the Sox positioning. Rojas hits the ball to RF 1/3 of the time, yet Yolmer is playing him up the middle. Did they really think he was going to pull a 98 mph fastball?
sure he has nothing to work with, with this lineup...but the team's inability to take a walk yet striking out at an insane rate the last few years isn't a ringing endorsement of his teachings.
How many offensive players will still be in the majors in two years on this current roster? I'm saying Garcia, Abreu, Yoan and McCann as the only sure things.
