I also agree on Meidroth, he brings lot of intangibles to the game, for one thing he’s pretty damn smart. I can’t believe some want to give up on him after only playing for a little over 3 months in the Majors.

And is young and a rookie. Sometimes I can't believe the takes on Soxtalk

I bet those numbers will change.

Have to remember that a lot of the Charlotte guys are now with the Sox, Quero, Teel, Meidroth and Monty just a few with leaving out pitchers.

I don’t think Getz called down to the dugout and told Venable to pinch hit for Baldwin with Taylor who isn’t the future. Baldwin had a nice line drive hit and made 2 goods play and he’s replaced, something stinks. Stone was spot on in his remark.

Baldwin does a bit better against RHP than LHP. I could see Venable wanting to win a ballgame. But Venable has also talked recently about Brooks keeping his head in the game. Or maybe BB's ribcage was tightening up. Or he was in the bathroom.

In game moves?  No.

Line ups?  Absolutely. 

Otherwise tell me why seemingly Venable, Griffol, and Tony had the same line up styles?

Sure, plenty more games to be played, but it hasn't been a great year overall.
