chw42 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Part of the reason Harrison has only hit .240 this season is that his line drive rate is down by about 8%. Mostly replaced by ground balls. No one is safe from ground ball mania once they come to the Sox. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen used to hit those line drives that just kept on rising. My favorite baseball player of all time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GermanSoxFan Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) This Sox team is the definite proof that batting average is a useless stat. This should be a laugher at this point. 12 hits - 11 singles Edited August 3, 2022 by GermanSoxFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still been the best hitter on the team, by far, in those situations. Bizarro Timmy in so many ways. He only has 27 RBI's, I don't think he's close to being the best clutch hitter on this team.

almagest Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Without the homer we're tied right now. Probably about 30 LOB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snopek Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 4 minutes ago, South Side Fireworks Man said: Bring Burger up. Start him at 3B. Let Yoan come in late in the game for defense. When Yoan starts hitting again gradually increase his playing time. If he's gets back to what he's supposed to be Moncada wins his starting job back and everyone is happy. Choosing between Burger's glove or Yoan's bat is some legit pick your poison stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulie4Pres Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Four runs on twelve hits. This team isn't even fun to watch when they're hitting and winning. This game should be a fucking blowout, except the Sox can't hit anything but singles. Fuck Menenchino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
