Horrible pitch selection ffs

Come on gio way too many walks.

Wtf are the cards wearing?

Or Posturepedic.

I fucking love it. Plesac comes off like a spoiled brat on social media. As the kids say: get rekt.

It's a long debate but I honestly don't think many MLB players or any pro athletes really are susceptible to pressure. If they were, they wouldn't be pro athletes. That said, Robert is fine at 6 or 7 in his rookie year. He's probably like a 270/300/450 hitter right now, and that's probably not as good as anybody higher in the lineup.

Even better, for some reason had a notion you were a golden domer. Regardless, let's kick some ass and do some headbanging!

You're not bad for a ND fan.

It's on. MLB is doing a pretty good job IMO. In fact they are proving that at least with a professional sport you don't have to do a bubble, even in the hotbed of COVID in the US.

Hopefully Moncada comes out of this feeling fresh. Also good to get the bullpen some rest, Foster should be ready to come out firing as the opener.

TA is the leadoff guy. He's proving he's a legit 300+ batter and at that rate it doesn't really matter too much how many walks he takes as long as it's not zero.. He's up there pissing off the starter and more often than not hitting the ball hard.

Luis Robert I'd guess has at least 1/3.

Let's just sweep them and put them out of their misery so nobody has to worry about them finishing in the playoffs, regardless of games played. They don't seem ready to play from what people here are saying, even before the cancellations, so let's bury them and set them on a 10 game losing streak. Karma.

I said it the other day Foster has a great riding fastball, nice to see that confirmed in this tidbit from Fegan this morning (go get a sub to the Athletic):

I think so too. No reason to rush this if the Cardinals have another fuckup their season is done and as a MLB fan I don't want teams to be disqualified by Corona.

Cool, again, I'm oddly confident in Foster, maybe he can get stretched out for 3 innings this week as the opener.

Anybody knows who the probables are? We got Giolito and Dallas lined up no?

Def not. Hahn does not overpay for closers, thankfully. In fact I'd say he's more likely to be traded this season than resigned. As for OP, I'd love Bauer for next year but seems a long shot for many reasons.

This dude is awesome. You gotta love TA. He can legit hit 350/380/550. Just catch the ball once and awhile Valentin! Except TA can be better and Sox got him in his prime. And he plays with max swag, love it. Emotional leader in a way Abreu or even Eloy or Giolito never will. Some guys just run 110% and don't have another way and team mates feel obligated to follow. It's not as big of a deal in baseball as a more emotional sport like football or basketball but it sure as hell doesn't hurt. Put some respect on that [expletive] name!

I'm with you. Sox could use a few days off. This might make up for some of the bad BABIP luck.

For sure. I honestly kinda want to sell both. This is about the best they are ever going to be IMO. For various reasons on both, but mostly that James probably isn't really a 3 WAR catcher most likely for the next few years and Colome most likely isn't going to succeed as a closer as he ages. Not without a really signfiicant improvement in his command and control, which he's never shown.

You love to see it. Boston way down too. And the Mariners still suck, some things never change.

Yea he is, last year wasn't a fluke. Thing is I don't think he's going to re-sign he wants FA after the Sox did him dirty two years in a row (is what it is Grandal is a massive add) and the Sox won't pay what he's going to get.

The year he was traded he saw a big drop in his peripherals which he luckily offset with the highest strand rate of his career. If Q was a stock Hahn bought at rock bottom and sold at the top. Hahn has clear weaknesses but trading high is not one of them. It was a heist and most Sox fans knew at the time Q was entering the downside of his career, you could see it in his peripherals that year and just watching him pitch. Lost some of that command on his fastball and he didn't have a huge margin for error.

Mendick is doing a helluva job in the Yolmer role, pleasant surprise honestly looks like a solid utility guy with a 8 year career in front of him.
