They all really offer nothing to merit being in the lineup every day, especially Sheets who does nothing well.

caulfield12 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) DeLaCruz cycle already in six innings. First cycle since I think Gary Redus a Bedtime Story in 1985. (Yet another former Sox outfielder. Was actually Eric Davis and Frank Robinson since 1941.) 11-7 Reds baseball is the NCAA Tournament everyday lol.

Unless we're going to continue to define that concept (further) downwards. It's not about tolerating anything, it is about accepting reality that the Sox have only one legitimate catcher at the ML level. I'd take 0 for 4 and avoid dozens of dropped balls, passed balls, horrendous game management, pitchers able to throw breaking balls, etc.. Far more important to have a functional catcher than worry about 3-4 at bats. It's why Yermin never caught here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he changed his name from Seby to Zeby he might get his average back up to .175 at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also feels cruel to me singling out Seby when ~2/3s of tonight's lineup is replacement level caliber talent. There's just so much dead weight here why fixate on a backup catcher when that position league-wide is universally terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to argue about White Sox collecting more DHs who can't put up 800 or even 700 OPS numbers... we have Sheets there now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dodgers benched his ass in the playoffs because he is not a ML catcher, and he has only regressed with age and health since. This is why this was a bad signing since day one, period.

Hahn-washing continues to the point where full apathy sets in or you're stuck arguing about the journeymen of all journeymen. We already kicked Leury and Alberto out and still have approximately half the roster left to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hankchifan Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Andrus error opened the door to 2 runs for the Red Sox. 2 infield errors for the White Sox in 4 innings, not a formula for success. Our pitchers don’t have much of a margin for error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was only five years ago, too. Of course the Dodgers' roster is also an embarrassment of riches. Will Smith today is one of the best catchers...they dealt the blocked Keibert Ruiz and still have Cartaya.
