Now you just practice practically guaranteed he will be involved in a key play at SS.

Just watch.

 

And of course Leasure serves up the gopher ball

If Dalbec was a legit SS option then why the hell would they play Amaya every single game?????????????

Nice meatball

91 off the bat. That place is a launching pad to right.

Jordan Leasure closer dream was nice while it lasted in the 2023-24 offseason.

I guess the strategy -- and it makes more sense than I'd like to admit -- is you start the glove guy and let him play until he actually has to hit in an important spot.

^^^ The correct answer ^^^

Said this last year, and same is true….losing isn’t supposed to be this easy in the majors.  Jerry should be so ashamed.

The hardest working people in the Sox universe have to be the Getz excuse makers.  There is no way they actually believe he shouldn’t be fired.

That call was terrible

Anytime Robert wants to show up would be great. I’ll even take bad. Not absolutely horrible. 

If he doesn’t swing, he theoretically can’t get hurt running

Can't even fall to last place in majors reasonably well...

5-19 vs. 4-18 Rockies gives Sox a technical, percentage points advantage

 

At least we can see why Ishbia passed on Twins...

Counterpoint: let the better bat play and after 2-3 at bats, bring in the glove. Works better since they’re the road team as well.

He’s done with the Sox after this year.  They won’t pick up his option and he will go sign elsewhere for like ten million.  He’s just another bust that lost all ability during what should be his peak.  I can’t believe they haven’t changed his swing mechanics.

What has he done as a talent evaluator and trader that makes you think he can do this job well?  If anything, he seems better suited for a director of operations position.

That was the Earl Weaver strategy, with which he was only slightly successful
