I think Judge's is a homer in a lot of stadiums. But Stanton's is more likely to be a double. It had a .820 xBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Is Francona trying to throw the game? First he starts Civale and now he won't challenge a clear safe call at first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 It's crazy how many good relievers the Guardians have. They have 5 relievers who were worth at least 1 fWAR this year. The Sox had just 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/batvspitch/_/id/40934/aaron-civale Yankees' hitters 20/76 and 725 ops against Civale coming in. Still, you have to figure out a way to get your best pitcher on the mound instead of your fourth or fifth starter. Between that, on the road, and Naylor, felt like a loss from the get go. Still not over with a very shaky Yankees' but close. Edited October 18, 2022 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead he went with the guy who hadn't pitched for 2 weeks with a 5 ERA on the season. It was a bad decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 That's exactly how it would have looked if you dropped this years Sox lineup into the playoffs. Lots of empty contact, not much else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
