LOL catchers are slow ,especially old catchers with hammy problem. Be grateful he's hitting decently. He made that Burger HR a 2 run blast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Burger 9/18 in 76 at-bats. 1.021 OPS Career wise, .255, 18, 47 in just 282 at-bats. .837 OPS. No matter what happens the rest of the season, he has now become a core element of "rebuild/retool" and probably the best feel good story for the Sox since Carroll (QB from Purdue) pitching into lifetime MLB benefits and maybe Billy Hamilton two seasons ago. Robert leading the majors in XBH/3rd in homers and 95% of his former self in CF, too. Win tonight and only 8 games behind MIN before Memorial Day, lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude gets hurt regardless if he DH’s or not. 1B Vaughn 2B Moncada 3B Burger SS Anderson LF Benintendi CF Robert RF Eloy/Sheets C Grandal DH Sheets/Eloy Let 'em bang away. Late game defensive substitutions: Moncada to 3B, Andrus in at 2B and Hasely replaces Eloy/Sheets in RF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almagest Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Clevinger is hard to watch. High fastball probably gets Gimenez there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yaz gets on base at a good enough clip, but it's nice to have power behind him to keep him from clogging up traffic. But who in their right mind bats perhaps your best HR hitter 8th when you 1 and 2 hitters have 0 HR's. All teams have a better win percentage when they hit 2 or more HR's so our HR hitters need more opportunities and our 0 HR guys need less opportunities. And Gavin despite the hate for him hits RHP pretty well . Grandal should bat 8th because he isn't healthy, fast or young enough to be in the middle of the lineup. Tim and Beni 6th and 7th. Tim for health reasons also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burger is my Waterloo on this board. Dude is an incredible story and when healthy all he does is mash. I was dead wrong about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grifol so rarely gets 6 or more from a starter, and the pitch count is still pretty low. This is a pretty awful Cleveland team without Ramirez and Naylor, I think Chicago knows that as well.

Guardians are not a dangerous lineup. He's only at 71 pitches so despite the 5 hits and 2 walks he's been semi efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
