It's tough to do that in a 3 game series. Mazara was given 60 games to prove himself and all he has proven is that he can play if there is an emergency.

I hope you are right. Bassit will be tough on our guys, but good lineup construction should help. If Eloy is out, Grandal needs to bat behind Jose so that we don't get pitch around. Tim and Yoan are good enough for Jose to drive in. McCann nor Mazara are giving Jose much protection.

Exactly. Next series we can make adjustments, but we need outfield defense. And I know people are saying Mazara's defensive metrics are fine, but we need speed to track down any balls that get out there. We need speed to get to foul balls.

The ALDS starts Monday. The bullpen usage should not be a factor this series.

12 to 2. May have dodged a bullet there.

Yep big lead, blowout loss, God forbid injury.

True. But that Yankees offense is rolling. I didn't want Gio having his first start against them. They are professional hitters over there. Thankfully, they usually flame out in the ALDS or ALCS, so IF we were to meet them we may win it.

Justin Bieber is getting smacked around by the Yankees. That's why I wanted no part of them until we had some playoff games under our belt.

God no. Garcia's defense and speed is a good thing. Mazara can pinch hit in case of an emergency.

Go Sox! Let's have our best lineup out there tomorrow. Nomore Mazara and Encarnabegone should be riding pine. As should McCann tomorrow if Eloy is healthy.

That's how bad Mazara is.

I got bad news for you.

Big time game for the boys. Ricky had a few hiccups but did a great job with the lineup and bullpen. Tomorrow if Eloy is back, DH him and let Yasmani catch and Garcia play LF. New season here. If we win tomorrow all of the worry of the season is forgotten.

No, that Ricky was bad there. No one is saying we are fucked.

Hot takes? Posters are right.

They gone.

Happens to me all the time. Usually it is some dumb breaking news I don't care about. 90 percent of the time, it is Sox game scoring.

The nightmares.

Stay focused LG. It's all good.

A break for who?

They have like 4 of him.

Let Eloy DH during the playoffs and play Garcia in left. McCann can catch for Gio and pinch hit if necessary.

Lol I meant get through this inming and start fighting again. Yes I would love 8 inmings. My apologies Baseball Gods.

We gave gave Oakland Wendelken, Bassit, and Semien for Shark and Lawrie.
