Giolito vs Brault

 

Really thought Madrigal would be back

Have a feeling Thursday will be the big transaction(s) day

Love that McCann is catching.  Don't mind that Moncada was dropped to 5th.  Hate that EE is the DH over Grandal.

If you start sitting EE every game, then you might as well DFA him

Let’s strive mightily to win

Hope Giolito's newfound pregame warmup continues to help get him past the first inning fumbles.

 

 

Oh great, our cleanup hitter is hitting .160. 

I am not a big fan of signing these old dudes but yeah lets not freak out after a few weeks and let him hit his way out of it. I'm betting he feasts tonight.

He's living on borrowed time. He's going up against a crappy LHP. If he can't start mashing ASAP, he won't last long. It will be either Collins or if you believe the reports, Vaughn. 

They may be giving him just a few more games and then cut bait.

You'd have to have money on the Sox to start a LHP against this lineup.

He’s an opener who typically goes 3 innings at most

Alright Rick, I see you.  That's good managing.

*goes ahead and inserts him in the lineup anyway*

Cool cool cool.

Madrigal's injury couldn't have helped.  They probably envisioned Mendick spelling Moncada at 3B once Madrigal was called up.

Two things should be really obvious. 

#1-  The Sox believe that even a reduced percentage of Moncada is well ahead of a 100% Ryan Goins.

#2- Yolmer Sanchez was signed for a reason.  Once Madrigal comes back, I wouldn't be shocked to see Mendick shift over to 3rd, Madrigal take back 2B, and Yolmer take Moncada's roster spot for a 10 day stint.

This guy had a good outing should go maybe four. They just swept the Brewers. No lollygagging tonight. Has 45 Ks in 34 innings.

This is the key, yes. I was expecting Madrigal up tonight and Mendick over at 3rd, give Moncada four days off, wonder why that isn't the case today.

But the Yolmer up to put Moncada on the IL is not something I had considered. 

Stoney said that Yolmer would be up soon
