I'm disappointed Porcello can't hit in this series.
Sandy Leon last hit was nearly a month ago and 1 for his last 38 for a microscopic .026 BA

We'll have to see if Vazquez can win his job back in the next 2 weeks.

Meh.
I stay with Leon in the playoffs.
"Hating the Yankees like it's a religion since 94'" RIP Mike.
"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
I completely agree. And I'm a Vazquez fan.
Vaz just hasn't really cut it this year.
not happening.
He had a good game last night. He was the starter going into the season.
Can the Catcher be replaced by the DH and the pitcher hit???

No.
Lol. If only...
I personally don't give a shit about Leon's hitting as long as he is optimizing what the guy on the mound is doing. We have hitting out the wazoo, but our pitching is sometimes suspect. Leon's defensive catching stats are way better than Vazquez's or Swihart's, and they don't include how the pitchers have more confidence in him.
I'm not rooting against Vazquez or Swihart because we all know Leon can't catch every game. When either is catching, I not only root for him but comment when he does something well--including the odd hit now and then. About which, this: when either Vazquez or Swihart gets his OPS above .800, I'll be ready to say it's time to go with a catcher who can hit.
Moreland has been hitting around .180 since the ASB. The catcher is a black hole, Bradley is a .230 hitter, and Beni has 2 HRs since the ASB and OPSing .728. That's 2 slumpers, 1 below average hitter and 1 black hole. The offense has been very spotty lately with lots of soft spots.
The King of TalkSox has Spoken.
Thor vs Mere Mortal tonight.
Since coming back, Vaz has a 611 OPS. Blake's OPS over that time frame is 517. Sandy's is 000.
Since July Sox are 45-17 when Leon is starting Catcher.
