Do you count the Rangers? They barely qualify as major league material, but still so does Robles.

This Sborz fella loves hanging curves more than I love anything on this planet
Good job by Dalbec to get Duran over
Nice job Kikè getting him in
Manufactured offense!

This Schwarber guy who made the team worse is having a poor game.

At least this team knows how to win against clubs with less than 45 wins by mid-August.

This Schwarber guy who made the team worse is having a poor game. Meanwhile, the below average defender he was suppose to be replacing is 0-2 with a strike out and is keeping the below average JD Martinez in the OF. I love Schwarber's bat, but he's a square peg in a round hole until he can take over 1B.

Dalbec has been fine this game, 2 productive AB’s. They don’t score without him moving Duran over last inning

No. But Does Schwarner make the team better?? 100% yes

Evening, folks - out for a few pints at a local brewery (Ecusta in Brevard), just tuned in - things seem to be going swimmingly with offense and pitching and defense. Tuned in just in time to see the great play between Devers and Xander.

Instead, he's splitting DH duties with JD Martinez who is making the overall outfield defense much worse and isn't as good of a hitter when he's out there.

HES SUCH A PROFESSIONAL HITTER He really is. If Devers had his plate discipline, he’d be an MVP.

keeping the below average JD Martinez in the OF. Friend, Manny Ramirez played LF in Fenway. I probably could play LF in Fenway. You could also move The Verdugod to CF, put Renfroe in RF, remove Duran who has worse stats than Dalbec and go all in with that groovy OF.

Your claims “he was supposed to” and “he was acquired to” do not match up with any evidence, based on what the team has said. He was acquired to help the offense, with the hope but not the certainty that he might be able to play 1b, but probably not right away because of his injury.

Good ab by Bobby D right there. If he can take his walks he’ll be fine. It seems like he’s turning the corner.

Barnes looks so good when he had it going.
