Time to bring in Velasquez to finish the game

These guys are fucking garbage

Are they just having bad seasons or were they never good to begin with? 

 

Grandal was great last year.  Abreu has been a very good run producer.  Pollock was one of the best hitters in baseball the last few years.

Which Sox position player will pitch tonight?

Looks like the clock has struck midnight for Ruiz.

The BoSox could easily score 20 tonight. 

Maybe Harrison will pitch and Cordero will hit a 3-0 homer and Cora will yell at him!   God, that’s so pathetic to even type.

I see a Leury Garcia 9th inning pitching performance coming up.

They’re not going to bring in a new first baseman or catcher or third baseman. It’s on the big name guys to show up this year.

Their 1B and C are just old and YoYo is on a good year, bad year yoyo since he got called up. He's incredibly inconsistent if you're being generous.

Grandal, Abreu, Pollock, and Moncada all have extensive track records of being very good players. It's fair to quibble with relying on old players on a team where you don't prioritize building depth, but it was impossible to foresee getting zero offensive production from all of those guys at the same time.

Eloy could be lumped in there too, but at this point it's probably not realistic to count on him to hit *and* stay healthy over anything close to a full season.

We might get a position player to pitch this game lol

I wasn't talking about the old guys. I added that but the site is being wonky again.

I think McGuire pitches and he throws a palm ball

Not sure, but I bet it will be Legendary  ?

You know that incredibly inconsistent title only works because in 2020 he was only worth 1 WAR for reasons that weren’t his fault.

Jake Burger is my wild card guess for the position player pitch we'll see tonight

Do you want to be the umpire checking that guy for sticky stuff??

The only track record Moncada has is inconsistency and it's a bad bet to count on 35 year old players in Abreu and Pollock to keep it up forever. 

Grandal was good once, but it looks like he's Kirk Gibson ca. October 1988 at this point. His knees are shot. 

Pollock might have a worse arm than Benintendi

I skimmed through your post and didn't think anything of it. Read it a 2nd time when i refreshed the page and now i'm dying laughing!

If you look at his career since moving to 3b, he's actually been remarkably consistent. Relative to other players at his position. But Moncada discourse here is always illogical so what can ya do.

 Did you see his offensive numbers in 2020? While he was dealing with covid, and it's no joke he still had a bad year offensively even if he had a valid excuse.

Well he sure does have his own "Spider Tack"

Might be an 8th and 9th inning performance by Leury at this rate

Um, That was fueled by his defense. Did you see his offensive numbers in 2020? While he was dealing with covid, and it's no joke he still had a bad year offensively even if he had a valid excuse. 

I ask again, if he went:

5 WAR
3 WAR
4 WAR

in 3 straight seasons, is that incredibly inconsistent?
