LET'S GO WHIIITE SOOOX

 

I like Madrigal in the 2 nd spot.  That will be his eventual spot in the order on an everyday basis IMO.

Yoan finally gets a hit and they sit him?

I like him there over Grandal or Eloy.  But a healthy Moncada with his speed and pop makes the top of the order way more formidable IMO (Obvious exception this season).  I like Madrigal as a pest at the bottom, never giving pitchers an easy out before the lineup turns over again.  He’s gonna be on the bases a lot when TA comes to bat again.

He looked exhausted after that slide into 3rd. 

I have long liked Madrigal’s ability to hit behind the runner in the two hole. Timmy is getting on at a .450 clip in the first inning. I like a healthy Moncada at two or three but he isn’t healthy. I give mo and Robert at least two days off between now and playoffs.

Yes, some of our players need some rest going into the playoffs and the priority should be setting/aligning our pitching rotation first, more than the division win.  This year is much different without home field advantage.

Mazara moves up in the lineup card. Can’t say I disagree with it the way Robert has been swinging it as of late 

This guy should come hang out in a Soxtalk game thread.

I’m guessing they have set a schedule of off days for Moncada that he knows ahead of time, Rick already came out and said today this is his last scheduled off day. 

Yep.

If he benefits from it, I dont see why they can't give him another one or two considering we have 7 games in 7 days and then the playoffs. Its not like CLE can catch us and at this point realistically MIN can't catch us either.

Yeah if Sox win today and Cubs beat the Twins it's a division title for sure and rest please

TA chases badly on a slider way away. 

Madrigal squibber to 3rd and safe w/o a throw 

I'm going out on a limb today and saying Robert has a good day

Abreu nice inside out swing to bloop that one in.  Madrigal read it well and gets to 3rd. 

Great baserunning by Magic there

Do they not know Eloy loves to go oppo?

Damnit.  Hung up too long. 

Goodwin is so lucky on that. Coulda torn his knee badly

jesus christ edwin.

Where ya goin lil fella.  Should have tried to tag up there.  If it drops you score anyway.  

He’s not catching up to 95 inside. 

Just end the EE experiment. He’s done for
