It is amazing seeing that Twins homer breakdown by position and then comparing to the absolute shit the Sox have received from RF, 2B and DH this year.

In all fairness, the HR numbers for 2B won't change much next year either.

That Yermin guy has been hitting well at every stop in his career. But Ricky needs those lefties.

The recent Fegan article mentioned Yermin probably being exposed with ML ABs. So let’s see it.Guy has hit at every level and to not give him a shot yet has been downright sad when we’re trotting trash at the DH spot nightly.

I don't like Osich here. 

Osich in means Ricky is okay throwing this one away

Madrigal won‘t at least strike out at this ridiculous rate like Yolmer.

Who cares, that hitting environment is a joke.

I was kidding.  That said, do you not believe in Collins, Madrigal, or Robert because Charlotte’s a bandbox?

Pinch hitting Skole made no sense to me since another player is needed to play the outfield.  Why not ph Jay since he’s the one going into the outfield.  This way you only use up one bench player.  Besides,I’d have more confidence that Jay would make contact.

That is unnecessarily mean. It‘s not his fault he is getting ABs in key spots.

Maybe so,  I should have worded it differently.  He still shouldn't be up.

Turned Polanco around is a good idea when you use an actually decent LH reliever Rick

I was saying it tongue in cheek. Of course I'll take Madrigal's hit tool, speed, etc. 10/10 times.

Love taking the best outfielder (and CF) out of the game in the 7th inning of a one run game for a guy hitting worse, because he is lefty

Everything in that league is a joke. It’s as if every game is played at Coors. I believe in Robert more for his performance at every level.

I know, I just wanted to point out Yolmer‘s ridiculous K-rate again

And then bringing in your two worst relievers to face the heart of their order.

CATCH THE FEVER!

 

no really, we are all violently ill

Herrera will always have striking out Mike Trout.

And by always, I mean a year from now when he needs a story for bring your parent to school day because he's out of baseball.

Just turned on the game to see that Herrera is still garbage this year

Is this a serious or sarcastic post? 

Close game in the late innings  so we bring in two of our gas can relievers and they give up a run or more

No, he’s terrible. One of the worst full season relievers I’ve seen for the Sox.

No excuse for this.  He doesn’t even know Manny Machado.
