Cannon vs. Wacha

Contrary to conflicting reports, Chuckie Robinson will not be making his CF debut

 

MLB level lineup there!!

 

OK, not really, but I'll at LEAST watch the first 2 Vargas ABs.

Sheets in RF

This dumb f*** franchise is REALLY committed to Sheets. 

We get our first a look at Vargus.

Fletcher in left, no Benny , ( please be a delayed trade LOL)

Sheets being released will be a fantastic day 

Getz wasting 40 OF starts on Gavin Sheets after he traded a top 10 prospect for a 26 year old OF and a talented, controllable reliever for a 25 year old OF (both of whom had full seasons at AAA) is quite something.

shocking amount of fans showed up.

Getz’s entire sales pitch to the media was “we will play better defense” and then proceeds to play a massive 1B in the OF 35% of the time.

Nice play Baldwin!

What redeeming qualities does he have?  Poor defender, can’t hit for average, can’t get on base, doesn’t have power…

He bats lefty and maybe he’s a good clubhouse guy?

You understand they can't see the imaginary box on your TV, right? ?

His only goal and he failed massively.  It’s truly remarkable how he conned Jerry into thinking was the guy for the job.

That was a nasty pitch and was borderline.  Could’ve been called a balls.  Let’s see what he does going forward.

But then why do the defensive framing stats show they’re bad at it?

Different players, but for some reason, Vargas reminds me of Avi

Why did the Sox release a stud like Maldonado and why hasn’t another team picked him up yet?
