I posted this in the Grandal signing thread (if I remember correctly) but being a Dodgers fan I got to watch Grandal play a lot. While analytics love his defense, the eyes don't. He's slow to react side to side. He's slow to react on balls in front of the plate. He's very much a station to station baserunner. We as Sox fans might have expectations of the guy based on reputation and analytics, and not by watching him play. Which is fine. If Lightning McCann wasn't on this team, I am sure we'd all love the guy. Wait until we're int he playoffs and he's the guy in the pressure at-bat. That's when he shines.

that works, too.

come on Nick, hit the ball exactly where you threw it last inning

dafuq are you talking about

they need to respond offensively this half inning. At least ive Gio some time to catch his breath.

46 pitches into the second inning. 2 game-changing errors. I don't think its fair to blame this mess on Gio.

this inning isn't showing how far off they are.... all its showing is a half inning of really bad defense. Let's see how they bounce back.

they'd better put up a crooked number to backup their ace after this shit show.

yikes.

DFA'ing Herrera also prevents his option from vesting, thank god. Looking forward to tonight's game.

I wonder what Rick Rentaria thought in 2010 when Ozzie put Mark Kotsay in the 5-hole with Jim Thome now DH'ing in Minnesota?

Do you keep a text file handy with a bunch of message board cliches to post? Judging by your post count you have nothing else better to do.

my what? Jesus chill the f out and have some damn fun.

Abreu will somehow hit into a triple play here

here we go folks

who cares? Sox are gonna score 69 runs tonight

Nah, the Dodgers were going to trade Ross Stripling to LAA with Joc, but when the Mookie Betts deal was reworked, they backed out of the deal with the Angels. https://www.dodgersnation.com/dodgers-reported-joc-pederson-ross-stripling-trade-with-angels-is-off/2020/02/09/

For those of us proposing Ozzie come back at some point....

Thanks, Theo.

If its true he and his wife are expecting... I can relate. I have a borderline nervous breakdown if I have to go to the gas station. Stuffed in a locker room with 59 other sweaty guys seems frightening amidst a pandemic.

I remember sitting in my office at my first "real" job out of college, watching the game on MLB.com (F5'ing the gameday page) with a bunch of coworkers over my shoulder .. only to be heartbroken by the outcome of the postseason.

duh duh dun... do do.. duh duh duh duuuun dun....

2000 was also the year the Sox drafted Joe Borchard.

Maybe the Sox can play all 60 games to sell out crowds... as a protest https://www.autoblog.com/2020/06/09/n-c-speedway-defies-coronavirus-orders-says-its-races-are-peaceful-protests/

I think Hi8us mentioned in the draft thread that his coach took it easy on his last season due to fatigue.
