Yoshida's OPS one year ago today was .560. So he is at the very least, doing what he did last year at this time. Last year, starting one year ago today, he posted an OPS of .896 over his next 81 games. We need that Yoshida back...Originally Posted by Maxbialystock
Maybe MLB pitchers and analytics people as a collective entity figured out how to attack Yoshida sometime in July/23 or thereabouts and that was basically that...
Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1
The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
The pitching game plan for Yoshida is locked in a safe under the code name, Tora, Tora, 3 Strikes out.
It's not just Yoshi, who did homer this week, who is not carrying a load. But in deference to their feelings, accept that none of those listed below were really expected to do anything significant this year at the MLB level. They are gaining experience and seeing their deficiencies .
Dalbec .000/.050 ; E. Valdez .143/.471 ; D. Hamilton .200/.543 ( a heavyweight here) ; Wilyer Abreu .176/.535 ; C. Rafaela .155/.472 ; P. Reyes .200/.451
Those are 6 of your 13 position players on the 26 man roster . How does anyone who is sober put the heat on Cora for anything ? This is a true AAAA lineup masquerading as MLB. Today's game begins with a Opener B. Bernandino, who did not make the club out of ST. Your bench consists of Devers, O'Neill( unavailable ?) , Dalbec, Yoshida . Both catchers are in the lineup, one is the DH
And the organization charges premium prices for this effort at building a team
yeah, these guys are all doing there best and i hope they succeed though most have no place on a MLB roster. i don't blame them; i blame the bloated, incompetent morons running this organization.
Cora confirms that Yoshida is a healthy scratch. They're just trying to get his head right.

I foresee some damage done by N Manuel today.

Oneill in the DL with concussion
Reese's Pieces -- McGuire is the only guy in the starting line-up who literally wasn't a minor leaguer in the past two years.
But it's Getaway Day, so AC must be counting on the Guards to being going through the motions and hit the road.
We all know how cooked the bullpen has already looked this week -- and yet, Bernardino's the opener, with no Pivetta to eat the bulk innings.
Another sign from Clever Cora to ownership as a big thankyou for the absolute lack of talent depth?
Has to be one of the worst starting lineups in the last 25 years.
Three guys hitting under .200 and two hitting exactly .200. LOL.
But what's their NO PS?
They will probably score 10 runs today
Nice one!
This lineup, on paper, really is all tail. Which probably means they're going to score 13.
Aaaaaand there's the first one already.
Today's lineup cost to JH in annual salary: $8.54M! If they win today, we are doomed.
