Others have made the case, a good one, that Dalbec should be in the lineup regardless. His August and September OPS's are more than 200 points higher than JDM's August and September OPS's.

Sucks?
Really?
I'd have started Dalbec over Renfroe and had Verdugo in RF and Schwarber in LF, but it's not a no-brainer choice.
BTW, Schwarber is 3 for 8 vs Walker with 3 HRs!
(Renfroe 0-5 and Dalbec 0-2)
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
You're right, of course. My addled brain keeps thinking it's still possible to catch the Rays. I will be amazed if the Jays pull this game out.
Crazy talk.

Nonsense. The Sox have handled Dalbec beautifully this year.
The bellyaching is unbelievable.

Just read a neat piece on why Sale tonight instead of against the Yankees. Reason #1: a start tonight gives Sale two more starts this season, but waiting two days for the Yankees makes his next start, Sep 29 vs. the Orioles, his last. Reason #2: maybe Sale isn't ready for the all those righty Yankee bats. In his latest start vs. the Orioles he had just 1 K and had to rely on pitching to contact. His fastball is in the low 90's. Reason #3: a win tonight is still a dadgum win for the home team.
I agree Dalbec has been handled beautifully. That doesn't prevent me from thinking maybe his bat--and for that matter, his glove--make more sense tonight. Given the righty Mets starter, Schwarber could DH instead of JDM.
Dalbec has definitely improved at 1b whereas Schwarber is still learning the position with very few games at 1b under his belt. Dalbec is also hitting a lot better than JDM in the months of August and September.
Why not Schwarber at DH and Dalbec at 1b? JDM's OPS for September is .781 vs. Dalbec's 1.200+ and for August was .787 vs. Dalbec's 1.000+
And if you sit JDM down, exactly how is he going to get his hitting stroke back?
If fans ran the team, Dalbec would have been jettisoned back when his OPS was .600.

So JD should never play again? Is that the basic idea?

Sale day
Let’s get a win.
Cora is a great manager I just wanted to see (imagine) some faces of some Testigos de Corava around here
Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz & Boston Red Sox
One of the best hitters in hte league for the last two months. Day off tomorrow. So BENCH him? I know Cora thinks this is correct, and many fans approve. But no one has given a good reason for doing this. If you support this, just explain the rationale for it. Because I don't get it.
"Fans have become more entitled than anything. So they're starting to question our motives for the game, or how we approach the game. The ones that do question -- like who are you? Just shut up and watch the game tonight." --Kevin Durant on players' lack of effort in regular season games.
It's makes a little more sense because T.Walker is a RH'r.
This hot streak has come at the perfect time, considering who we play next week. I like our chances to get in. Keep it going tonight, then make sure the Yankees don't get in
