I had “Leury Alberto” loaded in the chamber but so glad I didn’t need to send that ?

Hanser is just as bad defensively as Burger.  But Burger is a much better hitter, so might as well play Burger as 3B sub IMO.

I love me some Jake, but no thanks on watching him hit sliders from RHP.   Rather see what Romy offers.

With Burger now up and Romy on the team, there is literally no excuse for Alberto to be on the roster.

Yikes

one of many alberto home runs this year I felt in my bones. 

Gone-zer Alberto

You predicting him to HR in previous game threads stuck with me. I have no doubt you were on that one, lol

That’s a brutal at bat for Sheets

Failed to move the runner to third with no outs, and a lefty bat at that. Poor.

It’s crazy how easy the Guardians schedule is compared to the Sox the next three weeks.  Clearly “out of it” doesn’t mean eliminated, but if this team falls 8-10 back, they’ve shown nothing in their history to make it seem like a big run is coming.

Sure, but these things will even out.  But yah, Sox need to avoid falling well below .500 in April.

I think we all had, I couldn't get to my laptop fast enough. 

 

Maeda's ERA just went from under 1.5 to 4.15. Early season stats lol

There's no indication I've seen to think Romy would handle spin better vs righties than Jake does

I spoke ill will of Hanser earlier.  He just missed it last time up.

I meannnnn, it was still an awful play that a major leaguer needs to make.  He made up for it tho, thankfully! 

Yeah, but guys are gonna make physical misplays sometimes. It's not a "get this guy off the roster" moment.

Very possible

WTF is that TA.

Reminds me a bit of Pablo Ozuna the few times Pablo let it fly.  Alberto does it every at bat though

I mean he's replacement level but if he can knock in a HR once a week or so maybe he can get to 1 WAR. We need guys to step up.

Can we please have a shut down inning

I think what surprised me is that usually schedules are somewhat similar for division teams. Didn’t take into account the new scheduling format and was like “jeez, Guardians gets Tigers and Nats while Sox get Rays and Jays and Phillies”.

I have to eat crow on this.

Hopefully he can overcome it but Cease isn't sharp at all today

I suppose all things considered, I'd rather have a tough schedule in April than September.  As long as Sox can weather the storm, they'll be better for it come mid-season while Guardians and Twins are playing the tougher parts of the schedule.  

Cease having trouble with this AAAA lineup

mlb gameday has completely stalled for me. Is the game happening?

Hanser is a fucking mess at 3B

What is Hanser doing, man
