This series is so baseball, of course we would be dominating the Astros.

Was just thinking this! This would be the type of series we would lose if we were searching for wins up against a tanking team.

Also, if we lose out on the number pick and pick 3rd, I wont be mad if it meant our young guys have shown signs of life. We can still draft an all star at 3 or 4.

Our 3-5 hitters have no hits or rbi, we have 7 runs. Funny game baseball

If we can get some great hitting from Nicky and Yoan, and Tim/Avi/Jose can be .270-.290 hitters, our rebuild will be a glorious one. Yoan's OBP now at .357 with a .182 average. That is absurd.

 

Yo-Yo will start hitting soon. What I am impressed with is he doesn't swing wild or go out of the strike zone

Delmonico to 1B and Jose full time to DH. The talk needs to happen this offseason. It will only help Abreu prolong his career.

That was a nasty f***ing pitch. Wow. That's like turning the pitching machine up to 10/10 and putting the tilt on.

Yoan with four great at bats

Man that swing is sexy

Moncada has reached base 14 times in his last 25 plate appearances.

Moncada already with the Cano move of 75% running on a frozen rope in a 7-0 run game late. lmao. Kid's a natural man.

Ball hit the ground and sped up.

Is that good?

That ain't gonna happen. Plus Abreu has worked hard to improve at 1B

50/50 split needs to happen though. He's still a bad defender at 1B and only getting older.

He is not a "bad" defender. Not a gold glove man obviously but not bad. Plus there's that age thing again. MLB isn't played by high schoolkids LOL. Remember we have Davidson who spells at first base

 

 

Moncada and Anderson both hitting in the same game?

Anderson now 11 for his last 30 with 6 XBH in that period.

 

lmao at Stone even getting fake excited for Rocket League

Moncada at 196/687 now.

 

Anderson 242/638

Rough error on Yoan, as play would have been close

I don't think Moncada had a chance at getting Reddick even if he fielded it cleanly.

I need to go find some 22 year old Cano clips. To me Moncada looks like a dead ringer in the field as well. It's funny how athletic he is on the bobbles, great hand eye but his lower half needs work.

Only one thing to say in this game thread. EAT s*** HOUSTON !!!

lmao at Stone even getting fake excited for Rocket League

 

calculated!

Great outing by MiGo. Hopefully the Sox bring him back ndxt year. Need that reliable veteran even on a rebuilding team.

 

Astros TV pimping Sox' rebuild on air with graphics.
