Time to extend Yoan

If Moncada becomes a star at 3rd base...that Machado missed deal may be forgotten by end of season. Holy cow he crushed that ball.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Herrera pitches an 8-1 ballgame lol

Be careful. Somebody here will defend it to the extreme.

Moncada might be hitting 3rd soon if he keeps this up. But I hope Ricky leaves him at the 2 spot for a while (no more leadoff).

However they line them up, just keep the order stacked at the top.  1-5 looks like it can be solid most of the year....the rest of the lineup, bleh

Haha Engel can't even get cheap hits.

I wouldn't change a thing with Moncada. Keep him hitting #2. Don't fix what isn't broken.

Why was Herrera out to pitch, in a low leverage situation? Why not pitech Ruiz?

If Yolmer keeps this up, how soon do the Sox start rushing Madrigal? Sanchez looks horrible. 

I think we'd see Mendick or Goins called up first.

I wouldn't go that far, Madrgial coulda been turned into a starter or something

Just saw the Moncada HR.  Holy shit he destroyed that ball.

Why would he hit 3rd when abreu is hitting well and yonder as well? 

2 is the perfect spot for him.

Palka's 0 for the season?  Ugh.

If LuBob and Madrigal turn into what we think they can be, it could be a really fun, speedy, powerful lineup in a couple years man.

What a play

More RBI opportunities. But I also did say that I hope Ricky leaves him at 2 for a while.

Renteria's bullpen choices always befuddle me.  Why Herrera didn't come in yesterday in the 8th is beyond me.

That would require Ricky to actually let his players run though.

I'm of the "your best hitter should hit 2nd camp" these days.

Ricky won't be here in a couple years, lol.

And now Nate Jones is coming out to pitch? Why not use Ruiz, you’re sending him back down when Anderson is reactivated before the home opener.

I want Yonder gone by midseason. Anybody related to Machado needs to be shown the door, preferably with a boot to the ass, by the end of the trade deadline. 

Abreu bails out Sanchez there.

nice play by jose!

he's done a good job putting the bat on the ball.  not so good of a job running when he should and shouldn't.

This is the Leury Garcia game

As noted, if Yonder wants to have a good year at the plate he's welcome to stay.  So far he's been impressive.
