Yo just missed that.

But I will take that for sure!

If nothing else, the Sox have done a good job seeing pitches in this one.

He was a ton of fun to watch when he came over from STL.

And for the record, I freaking love guys swinging against the shift like that. Its a free freakiing hit, take it.

Welcome back Luis!

Definitely. When they first brought him on he was dry and quiet. He has really found a comfort zone.

And they both got 2!

Leury!

You have taken a TON of A+ talent out of this line up, and you have a lot of talent that didn't have jobs as of a few months ago. It isn't a surprise me to me that the guys who look like they are doing too much at times, and not enough at others.

Yas can't count strikes.

Madrigal is the perfect complement to this offense.

3rd base ump aggressively calling the swing on the check swing today.

Mendick and Garcia are both much better 2bs and Moncada is BY FAR the best 3b on this roster.

Then you downgrade 2 defensive positions.

So who are you putting in the line up instead? You going with the Garcia at 3rd Mendick at 2nd? I can't really say that makes it better.

Its a numbers and time game at this point. With all of his injuries, we just ran out of time to really see what he was. I don't want to lose him, but the calculus is rough.

Outside of Garcia starting at 2b, which is actually one of his natural positions, what is wrong with the IF and battery?

Welcome to Summer, 2021.

I have to imagine we are offering him around baseball right now along with a couple of others.

Including all 3 of your best defenders in Engel, Robert, and Hamilton.

14-19 for the Sox and 16-18 for Cleveland according to BR.

Also judging by the pitcher reactions to manager check requests, 100% someone is asking Liam to get checked to see if they can get him to meltdown and lose his concentration. They'd be an idiot not to.

If the McCaskey's are thinking really long term, this stadium is 100% the way to maximize the frachise value over time. They can probably figure out a way to get help paying for it too.

I am fully OK with my posts staying out there.
