It's worth noting that Franchy picked the wrong time to give up destroying AAA pitching -- .231 / .444 /.308 in his last 5 games. He didn't even start on Sunday. Meanwhile, that Wong is not strictly a catcher means that they are not two injuries away from having a pitcher play the OF, as they would be with a standard backup. However, that they are going into this series with 9 relievers and a 2-man bench -- one of whom will only play in an emergency -- still strikes me as odd.
Stupid.

A .231/.444/.308 line sounds like what you get when opposing pitchers simply stop giving you anything remotely hittable. Which would be an understandable reaction to what he had been doing. Also it's just 5 games.
The thing about Franchy is, every argument against him applies even better to Danny Santana. I'd so rather give Franchy another shot.

Santana? What the hey, why is he starting in this important series?

Rodriguez can’t catch a break This feels like ERod’s season in a nutshell. No breaks but bad ones. Not pitching badly, but it’ll look bad in the boxscore.

Rodriguez can’t catch a break It’d help if he didn’t walk guys with zero MLB experience. The nibbling is annoying.

Remember the part in that article I posted where is said the Rays just wait for the other team to make mistakes?
Mistake 1: Leading off Santana.
Mistake 2: Devers bobbling a routine groundball.
Mistake 3: Throwing the ball away to second.
Result: 2-0 Rays.

the one break he caught is those runs being unearned. every defensive play seems to be an adventure lately.

I guess the Red sox shouldn't ever take a day off. It seems they play their worst after a day off. They had that 17 day straight of games played and were not too bad, but as soon as they get a day off they forget hoe to play it seems.

Bobby needs to talk a walk there. They really didn't give him anything to hit. Bad at-bat

Bloom need to make this decision for Alex and cut Santana loose.
