Today would have been my Dad's Carlton Fisk birthday,  so this one is for him!

I am fine with this lineup. Bummer Eloy is still hurting after 2 full days off though.

I figured maybe the plan was just one game for him today. Possibly?

Robert is super scuffling right now, he needs to get it back on track. Sheets hitting cleanup is...new, we'll see how that goes. At least Burger is moving up the order a tiny bit.

Robert has lost a ton of his due to luck from what I read the other day.

Last doubleheader in Cleveland the Sox clinched the 2021 central division.  I was at that game, and it was lovely! 

What is up with the terrible shorthand versions of the bench player names? Yuck.

Robert has been incredibly unlucky - his wOBA vs his xwOBA is 193 points different. One of the five most unlucky players in the game this year so far.

Really fortunate to have Owen Miller and Quantrill on the shelf…Arias in his big league debut.  Clement becoming something of a super utility guy now.

Pretty sure that Miller was leading the majors in doubles.

Disemboweling the Guardians?

Castrating the Guardians?

Beheading the Guardians?

Maybe in Charlotte.

Agreed. I guess it’s cool to have a creative skill, but when I look at a lineup card, I just want to be able to read the names without straining my eyes. Anywho…go Sox!

What's so great about Cleveland? Like you never hear anybody say "oh I want to go on vacation in Cleveland".
