If Ohtani were on the Sox, what would you do with him? Pitch, hit or both? 

 

I don't know why he has been so awful the first 2 innings then settles in.  It's been like this almost every start.  They need to change his pregame routine or something, anything.  You can't expect to be a factor when you are over 60 pitches in 2 innings.

Top three in May 2020 should be Robert, Moncada, Jimenez. Put those three there in permanent ink.

Abreu is a 5 at this point in his career. 

 

A guy who can bunt for a hit is A ok.

STFU Ricky 

Moncada unlucky with the wind today. He crushed the ball the last 2 times out and the wind just killed the ball. 

Mendick ropes a solo shot!

My booyyyyyyy

That a boy Mendick.

Man, looked like Eloy hit that a mile

Are Eloy and Yoan catching wind gusts or something? They smoked two baseballs today and have nada to show for it.

Same with Moncada. It just died in the OF.

Eloy didn’t get it on the barrel

Not sure what to make of Mendick, but he’s hit a lot of balls right on the button so far. Would love to see him play every day the next 3 weeks

So why did they take Cease out? He hurt?

5 BB and a ton of pitches. He's fine.

Who would ever have a discussion on the mound with Yolmer up.

Did you guys really not start a DICK-MAN! DICK-MAN! chant in this thread?

That's what happens when you don't bunt.

Shame Mendick wasn't brought up earlier for us to see what he is. Hopefully Sanchez doesn't take any at bats from him the remainder of the season. Looks like he can play SS, 2nd, and 3rd?
