OK, that explains why Pollock isn't in LF, but that still doesn't explain why it wasn't Adam Engel or even Leury Garcia rather than Sheets.

Also, fuck you Pollock, grow a pair.

It has to do with Bubic splits against lefties. 

Lefties have an OPS of 1.094 against Bubic, Righties at .698

It's backwards against the norm, but just the way it is. He's been getting torched by lefties .352ba, .460 OBP. Hence, Sheets. 

Now, to me? You DH him

Lenyn better keep hitting bombs or Sleepy Tony is going to send his ass right back to the bench.

Let’s be real, Sleepy will do that as soon as Leury says he’s good to go, no matter how well Lenyn does…

It'd be nice if Robert had an approach at the plate beyond just swinging at everything

So moncada running hard yesterday Robert today.... Hmmm

1-2-3 first inning without a ball leaving the infield. Every game seemingly starts the exact same way.

It’s be nice if (insert name here) had an approach at the plate. 

there is the same offense we see most games... fucking pathetic

That's a HR at GRF. Not the most encouraging start for Cueto.

Expected that to carry out

Wow. That was slick!

What a sweet turn from Harrison & Sosa. I never want to see Leury play SS again.

Man...Harrison is smooth at 2nd

He’s certainly turned his season around  after the start. He’s been very solid for a couple months now. 

I just got home and I missed an entire inning

 

this one is also on fs1 if anyone cares

But the old fuck plays leury....

Harrison has an outside shot to be the first Sox 2nd basemen since Iguchi in '05 to surpass 2 fWAR in a season.

That was a strong throw by Sosa!!!

What to do if Lenyn is better at SS than TA?  #DontHateMe

An extra base hit!!

Playing Sheets against a LHP, which hurts the defense, is ridiculous 

TLR always has a bad surprise in every lineup.  Where is Pollock?

A walk!

An extra base hit followed up by a walk for what feels like the first time all season.

1.2 fWAR on the season. Certainly has a shot at 2 by season end if he stays hot at the plate.

Somehow there's room on this team for Gavin Sheets to start against a lefty but not Jake Burger.
