Going for 4 consecutive wins 

Please be wearing glasses again Yoan.  I really want to believe eyesight has been an issue.

I had kept wondering if that was the case when somone brought it up months ago  but thought no way in hell if his eyesight was bad do the Sox not tell him to wear glasses or contacts  or goggles or w/e works. Common sense would tell you that at the highest level of sports your eyesight is likely your best friend. Despite being a hitting genius Ted Williams had better than 20/20 vision. Thats what really made him able to do what he did.

Was he wearing glasses yesterday ?

Many ties there is a difference between contacts and glasses. He may have been contacts and someone convinced him to try the glasses.

That's why I said w/e works.Hell laser eye surgery is out of the scary stage now .. Just wondering if he ever wore anything to correct his vision before or if there is even a vision problem.

Moncada was wearing glasses yesterday but I haven’t found anything online to suggest whether it was related to a temporary eye issue or just general poor eyesight.  I do know he considered wearing glasses full time earlier this year but decided not to after a recommendation by Tim.

Also, agree 100% with the rest of your post.  I can’t even imagine trying to hit Major League stuff without 20/20 vision.

I can't even find your reference abut Tim telling him not to wear glasses. Do you have a link to where I can find anything about that ? I tried goggling and get nothing.

Yoan Moncada was trying on some eyeglasses today. Tim Anderson, who has ditched his glasses from last season, discouraged him from using them in games. Both are adamant they can see just fine without glasses. #Glasses

 

Thanks guess we still don't know the real story.

 

God it would be nice to see TA and Yoan finish the year strong.  Same with Lopez and Gio.

Yeah just like last season. September was a very good month for the team, which led many to believe (myself included) they might surprise and vie for a wildcard spot. Sox are actually above .500 in August...8-7. 

Let’s strive mightily to win this game 

Is Yoan wearing glasses again?

Yes he is. Still hasn't struck out yet.

Moncada should give his glasses to the umpire

He was limping going back to the dugout. Looks like maybe his hamstring has bothered him last few games.

Battle of two Rule 5 picks...Keller has quietly been a revelation on a terrible team, with a startling groundball rate and very few homers surrendered.

Awesome...thanks!

Really nice to see Nicky's power coming back.

Said it yesterday but that injury might've been a blessing in disguise for him. His shoulder looks like it's finally healthy. 

Guess we get to watch another 7-8 starts from The Coven.

Hopefully Covey didn’t walk back to the dugout too fast or too slow after that strikeout. He wouldn’t want to upset Salvy.
