Great game for those who are weirdly obsessed with saving our bullpen with so many days off early.

And the winner for the most random names pulled across all threads for the day is...

Oh, easily.

I kinda wish they would give Abreu a game off instead of Yermin and let him play 2 but I get it. You give Abreu a partial game off and let him DH which leaves you with either at Yermin at DH again or on the bench (or crazier idea: catch a game with Collins/Grandal at 1B). Robert and Madrigal should absolutely be in both lineups.

I wish.

You win the internet for today haha

They just had 2 of the last 3 days off lmfao idk how anyone can defend LaRussa.

True lol

Leury has pics of LaRussa doing something illegal. Change my mind.

Just saw Luis and Mendick are back too. So game 1 doesn't have Robert, Madrigal, Yermin, or Yasmani (expected obviously but he has to sit when 3 other regulars are out)? This is just bad.

LMAO probably.

Guys who are under the age of like 25 should not sit either game of a double header (especially 7 innings) when you just had 2 days of the last 3 off.

And many have agreed for months.

Probably stay here then.

Question: I don't remember what happened for the other double headers, but if the Sox win game 1, do I have to make another thread for game 2 or do we continue with this one?

If he is still feeling hurt, I wouldn't mind them IL'ing him and giving him 10 days off. No point in playing hurt especially when you play such a physically demanding position.

Yeah definitely not a fan long-term but ok with it this year.

The games are 7 innings each, the pen is 8 deep, and they were off yesterday. The pen is fine.

Let's try this again... Mize vs Rodon.

Unfortunately, no.

Not play both Leury and Hamilton. Robert out so that makes sense and Grandal has been shitty so I'm pretty ok with Collins being in there.

Why is he coming off as attacked? There is nothing wrong with that ha. They're not looking on a screen with a camera zoomed in on a catcher's nuts, relaying signs with a trash can.

When you factor in the "biggest contract in franchise history" factor, it could be argued.

He's a guy that analytics loves apparently but when you watch, you can't help but think: "what the fuck."

Can the title be changed to "Hall of Fame Person, brother?"
