July 27, 20205 yr Just now, fathom said: How so? Tells me they wanted someone with more versatility and 2b in particular to free up Garcia for the OF again. Also, Goins can play a little OF himself in a pinch, Cuthbert cannot.
July 27, 20205 yr He's Goins, Goins, Goins....I don't know if I'll cry, I don't know if I'll die laughin'
July 27, 20205 yr I wonder if Vegas has set an over under for how many different players will suit up for a Sox game. 45 would be an interesting number.

Also, Goins can play a little OF himself in a pinch, Cuthbert cannot. Goins is a bit more versatile. He can play the middle infield as well. Is a left handed hitter. Offensively they are very similar. Not a ton of power, little on base. I don't know who the better runner is but they could just prefer Goins. A decent case can be made he is just the better player.

Eloy out of the starting lineup tonight. Just hoping it’s only a couple game absence versus trip to the IL. My guess is they’re still deciding. Goins buys them some versatility until then.

July 27, 20205 yr Someone might want to tell Cuthbert's agent that their is a certain team in FL that might be looking for some extra players.

July 27, 20205 yr 18 minutes ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: BUT REYLO WAS FAKING IT! To be fair, he still could be. Random shoulder soreness that early in the game is odd. And proving it to be false is like proving someone didn't have whiplash.

Weird that it just happened to happen now.Stone was talking about this yesterday. He said there are going to be more of these than usual. I think you cannot assume these guys were able to keep up with usual routines during their down time. Edited July 27, 20205 yr by Dick Allen

They got nothing solid. I fully expect there to be a rash of pitching injuries.

I wonder if verlander trying to change his throwing motion was a mistake. He said something like lowering his release point because biomechanics says it was less stressful and maybe that is even true but still making the body doing something that it isn't used to can be a mistake because the body was not trained for that kind of motion, especially if you don't have months to ramp it up.
