July 31, 20223 yr The Sox should get another guy that does home run things before the trade deadline. That would be neat. Edited July 31, 20223 yr by DirtySox
July 31, 20223 yr The last couple weeks are the best Eloy has looked at the plate since 2020. His statcast data has been Aaron Judge level good lately. Him being healthy enough to mash could be a total game changer for this team.

Him being healthy enough to mash could be a total game changer for this team. Eloy has been hitting the heck out of the ball recently. Even his outs are hard hit. Eloy looks dangerous again. I hope the team isn't stupid enough to trade him. Its a different lineup when he's hitting.
July 31, 20223 yr Our big boys have not been hitting enough HR this year. Burger added HR power to the line-up so I would like to see him back. Other thoughts: Zavala has earned a spot on the roster. He is seeing the ball and his D has improved. I was not that impressed after one good game by Sheets. I would not mind it if they sent Sheets down and brought Colas up, or traded Sheets

Time to move him up in the lineup. Pollock should not be hitting third if Eloy is playing. Should never be in the third spot if both Eloy and Robert are both playing.

Eloy won’t be traded however because his value is at an all time low. Hahn can be dumb, but he’s not about that life. Not many GMs would do that. Yeah, Eloy can hit. Its a different lineup when he’s hitting. But him being available is the problem that has affected both him and the lineup.
July 31, 20223 yr Eloy has that easy power...I do not think he will lose his power like we have seen from Grandal and Yoan. If Eloy stays healthy, he is going to hit bombs.
July 31, 20223 yr This was a game where cease wasn’t even “on” yet still easily rolled. If/when he can control all his pitches better he is going to be very scary out there
July 31, 20223 yr It sure wasn’t pretty, but you’ll take 2/3 after Fridays debacle anyway you get em’.
July 31, 20223 yr This run from cease is every bit as good as that one Arietta run that won him a cy young but with about 1/100th of the fanfare

The Cubs though were seen as an efficiently built, talented team on the rise iirc, which was true. This season the Sox organization and team are dragging him down. If Cease did this on a 2021 team that sustained first half greatness, the hype would be pretty nice. Not that he isn’t getting shafted in general on Sportscenter and MLB.

He's throwing 101 MPH sinkers. That's a way better investment than Kelly or Graveman. Edited July 31, 20223 yr by chw42

That makes the win even better lol.

Garcia is worth twice the amount of WAR Graveman has produced for about 1/3 of the salary. He's actually produced more than Kelly and Graveman combined this year.

He can barely run, putting him in the outfield is criminal. He won’t last out there.
