I put this in another thread so I'll just copy and paste it here. I realize with Eloy hurt Mazara has to be out there but : Engel against RH's is way better than Mazara has been. You get his defense and speed too. Plus the chance to use the Rally Engel ! I really have no idea why Mazara is still playing. He has to be the worst OF in baseball with his current stats. His OPS+ is 57. Engel's is 115. Mazara has been 2019 Delmonico, Cordell and Charlie Tilson bad ! Mazara has even managed to make 2019 John Jay look cromulent. The fact that they are still using him at all is more mindboggling than throwing Rodon into the fire in his 1st appearance.

Does any other pitcher in baseball have hitters smacking the ball around the park on 99 MPH as much as Cease ?

I think at this point Madrigal should bat 2nd. Yeah he might hit into a weak DP but Anderson/Madrigal seems like a good way to kick start the sputtering engine. Maybe a little bit of hit and run offense. Then just drop everyone else a spot.

He used to post here Gregory . Long time Sox historian type guy . Has 4 decade long broadcasting career. Wrote a lot on the WSI site. Resume is pretty extensive in broadcast journalism. But known for being pretty jaded. Oh one more thing . He went to your High School. Brother Rice alumni.

That has a nice RING to it.

Be victorious, succeed , prevail, triumph, kick ass !

Those were rebuilding years. I'll take the A's and be watching here in So Cal while the rest of you struggle to stay awake. ?

You can put a win on the board tonight . Yes !

I was thinking of your Rally Engel when he got pinch hit for last night. Bring it out today since he's starting.

You didn't think so when we got him but then again few did.

Eloy is our Cub killer too.

That was a good one !

Are jokes or poking a little fun at a person bad form in society today or is everyone too sensitve ? Life would suck without humor so I wish you well with life too.

Under wins !

He tweaked something on his slide home. Hopefully he only misses today.

Old news.

Was it over when your mom said you couldnt live in the basement any more ?

I thought you thought the Sox are playing for next year. Didnt you tell me that ?

The highs are higher making the lows feel lower. It definitely sucked. I was watching the game and I was questioning the Rodon move and all I could come up with was well he has to be tested in the last 4 games. Not a heck of a lot of time if you can only pitch every other day especially when Bummer also was in the same situation.

Sadness because you lost 4 in a row to a division rival is not destoyed confidence. Im sure they all still believe in the teams ability to win just as they did when the season didnt start so well.

You were the one psychoanalyzing the players. You're not in that clubhouse. You see them during games ,a few seconds of dugout shots post game . Of course they look sad.Who likes losing. The only confidence I can see destroyed is ours.

Fans confidence. Don't impose how you feel onto the players.

This is exactly what I meant when I said yesterday that I dint think one person on this board could predict the BP for the playoffs. I had to get that in yesterday because I knew a move or 2 was due on Bummer and Rodon. Now it gets a little easier with Cishek and Detwiler gone . Once Marshall returns we are good to go .
