Things are faster in MLB. Ventura wasn't much of a fielder his first 1300 AB's with the Sox.

Thanks LaRussa

Freeman fisted. Nice piece of hitting.

Until Moncada shows a pulse it's still an option although talking about it and it actually happening are 2 distinctly different things along with DFA'ing Harrison or bringing up Yolbert .

Well he was also instrumental in that 4 run inning the Sox got.

It's raining it's pouring, the old man is snoring.

The inning that won't end but when it does pls let it be only a 1 run deficit .

Was just about to say if you get Freeman here you improve your chances to win greatly. Why 2 change ups IDK.

People say Freddie Mercury about DYlan but I think he makes a perfect Doc Holliday , gunslinger !

Tim made loads of errors . Is he a ss ?

oops thanks Jake not helping my case for you to stick at 3rd.

BE SF RBI

HBP offense !

Nah Engel's going to bunt .

Now it is

AJP and AJP !!

Smart Burger. ANderson changed him up to death last time

Mendick gets the job done . 1-0 Sox

Pretty funny that it rolled on top of the wall. Never see that !

It's not out of play when it hits the net ?

GASSSSSS !!!

If Burger is currently one of the best hitters on the team why not have Moncada, Eloy, Vaughn and Burger in the lineup at the same time? Hitting is a problem , a big problem. I don't know why some of you can't understand that.

You know why ,because unless Moncada's hitting why does his glove at 3rd matter ? He's played 2nd his whole life. It's not like 2nd is some mystery to Yoan like it would be to Burger. I mean seriously does this team need better defense or better hitting more ? Sox would easily be above .500 if they could get some hitting.

If you factor in how he has won maybe 4 games recently with his bat alone I don't know how its very debatable. While better defense would certainly help their biggest flaw his the hitting when you have the worst LHH in baseball by a large margin and RHH that can't hit RHP. Burger is much like Vaughn in that he can improve quickly against RHP if he gets some tutelage from Vaughn and not Menchino.

I said the same thing when that was posed in a poll or thread but I've changed my mind. Yoan has to get untracked and Burger has to be put in the lineup. Yoan's whole career was as a 2nd baseman before he made the switch in MLB. If this team can consistently get more runs they would do much better. Burger and a better Moncada will help . It's not as if this team is a defensive juggernaut anyway. Sox are still hanging around .500 playing woolly mammoths in the OF and the worst LHH in baseball by far . Also the Sox haven't really suffered with Burger playing 3rd.
