No Schwarber, but I'm sure Cora knows what he's doing. Yup.

SOX luckily still control their own fortunes.

Go SOX!

The D has been bad enough that you don’t need Fred Flintstone Schwaber in the field. LF, or 1B.

The choice certainly helps the defense, although not in one of the most important positions.

(Watch Dugo make a couple game saving plays!)

It might be enough to outweigh the splits:

Schwarber v L .794 (2021)

Verdugo v L .556 (2021)

I trust Cora, and having Schwarbs to PH might be helpful, too.

BTW, we face a lefty, tomorrow and in the first Nats game, too.

No LF is not one of the most important D positions, but I don’t want JD out there either.

Agreed, but I don’t want a .556 hitter in the line up when our offense is struggling and Schwarber wins your regency bias point.

This is the best defensive lineup he can field. The Sox are leaking runs all over the AL East. It’s mostly the pitching, but the defense has been soft too.

Plus the only good bat not in the lineup is Schwarber, a lefty bat vs a lefty Orioles starter.

Again, I never said Schwarber was a clearly better choice. I just pointed out the 230 point better split. That equates to one more time on base per 4 ABs. I guess he might make two errors, tonight.

I like having a better D, and Dugo is way better, but it’s doubtful LF defense comes into play as much as 4 ABs.

Pretty good numbers, 4 AB’s vs chances for a good left fielder to make a difference. Thanks.

I don’t care as much as you about the defense, but right now the Sox pitching scares me.

Seems like Eovaldi came to play.

Damn straight!

Can he go 115 pitches?

We may need that.

@OverTheMonster
Eovaldi has three whiffs on 59 pitches last time out. He's got seven on 25 tonight
