  1. I don't like Moncada leading off, he changes his approach for the worse.
  2. nice man, seeing him at torrey was awesome, to see him at the masters would be on another level.
  3. And to be fair to Ricky I thought he should be used as the opener myself so like this call. Kiss of death probably.
  4. He's old and has a fused back. I'm just happy to see the man play. And he's 12th in driving distance, that's mind blowing. I saw him down in San Diego this spring, it was a memorable experience to say the least. I was standing about 10 feet from him on the 1st tee. He was with Rory and Rahm it was great.
  5. It puts the players in a no win situation to have him speculating on injuries. He really needs to no comment more. I'm not really angry I'm just bemused the manager of a billion dollar entity is so careless.
  6. Given the circumstances of sharing intimate spaces a roughly 6% positive rate is pretty amazing imo. But if you want to doom and gloom it, doom and gloom it.
  7. I don't think he'll ever be any good, frankly. Eloy makes Palka look like a gold glover. The route and clumsiness on that Yelich ball would shame most low level college players. That ball wasn't hit more than 30 feet to his right and he wasn't even particularly close to the fence. Depending on what happens with Vaughn a conversion to 1B should at least be considered.
  8. So much for a cramp, another dumb ass utterance by renteria.
  9. His swing went from ugly to direct to the ball he worked hard.
  10. Just when I think I couldn't possibly dislike the man more he opens his mouth and says this. You gotta be bleepin' me! How about "I've spoken to Eloy about the play and there are some things we discussed that we'll do better on going forward, as a team, and with Eloy". That's it, it's that simple. You don't even have to throw him under the bus but FFS what a milquetoast thing to say about what for many of us is probably the worst play we've ever seen a MLB LF make.
  11. I don't think he's asking him but Renteria should tell him to stop.
  12. I just think you're asking guys to step out of their comfort zone. Moncada can hit the ball the other way, if he wants to beat the shift, start looking oppo, that would be what I'd tell him.
  13. He has a lot of the same attributes as Ventura managerial wise. When is the last time you saw a Sox manager out tactic the opposing manager? Renteria has been pantsed so many times going to a PH only to have the opposing manager be like "lol this is why I had two guys warming up" and then the Sox lose a position player and still don't get the platoon advantage. Just once I'd like to have a manager you know is more engaged and smarter than the opposition's. Also, stop telling Moncada to try and bunt to beat the shift. That shit has to stop, now. If he didn't tell him to bunt, AT LEAST tell him not to bunt because he can hit the ball 400 feet. We are giving away ABs and games.
