If our defense is sucking balls wouldn't that make our defense the Dyson of all defenses.Originally Posted by jung;

Lousy game thus far. I don’t think the Mariners are this good but we sure are making them look great.
A starting pitcher who gives up 4 runs in the 1st 2 innings and then settles down while his team scores 7 runs. That's referred to as a Porcello start.
I still think he belongs in Fenway's RF. On the road, maybe CF is best.
Kike has good defensive metrics in CF, but his sample size is scattered over many small stints.
Maybe this...
Fenway & parks with shorter LF's:
Cordero/Renfroe LF, Kike CF, Verdugo RF
Parks with shorter RF's:
Verdugo LF, Kike CF, Renfroe/Cordero RF
As long as Arroyo keeps hitting, 2B should be his FT position. That squeezes Kike to the OF, where we just happen to have two struggling, platoon-type players.
It's really this simple.
(Marwin can be worked into the equation easily enough, too.)
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
if this is going to be "our game" all year the bats are going to have to show up every contest.
I like our best Ofer in RF at home too. The RH pitcher going for us should have made that the more natural call as well...which in my case makes me worry even more that Cora felt compelled to put Verdugo in CF today.
When we had Betts it made sense to put JBJ in CF as he was a better CF than Mookie was. Betts was out of this world in Fenway RF.

The first 3 games of 2021 exposed out horrific defense.
It hasn't miraculously improved since then. It will cost us more games to come.

What happened??????? Come back to this crap.
You really don't want to know.
Eovaldi has shown great control, so far this year.
27 Ks
4 BBs
in 27.2 innings and counting.
It's the hits that are hurting him. (Only one of his 4 BBs scored.)

Time to bust out a crooked number!

This SOX line-up has 4 guys who can actually hit; Cannot afford to lose any one of them.

Offense isn’t helping either.
99 fastball. He has some heat
Not typical Nasty Nate today though. Throwing some wild pitches. His control looks off.
