Renfroe 9 Schwarber DH Martinez 7 Devers 5 Dalbec 3 Vazquez 2 Santana 8 Lopez 4 Arauz 6 That’s 5 hitter Funky Bob to you That looks a lot more like “spring training” than “playoff push” to me, especially up the middle, but what do I know? Beggars can’t be choosers

Beggars can’t be choosers This is true, especially with Verdugo’s (and Duran’s, in SSS) struggles against lefties. I feel for E-Rod, though—this isn’t going to do his BABIP allowed any favors.

Anyone know how Duran was as a second baseman? I mean, defense neutral would be fine right?
My thought on this is, just because the guy has wheels doesn't mean he can play OF. Wouldn't it be better to stick him back where he's been playing for much of his career and let him focus on hitting?

It's a complete psyops operation. Tampa is looking at the line-up and saying, "Hey! That looks like one of our no-name, call-up but inexplicably good line-ups!? Wait...do they know something!?!"

Looks a little like what the MFYs threw at us during their COVID crisis. Didn’t do us any good. I am less worried about the defense than I am about the bottom half of the order.

Am I the only one more confident with Boddy D batting than JDM the past few months? JDM is D.O.N.E.

JD was 8 for his last 18 heading into last nights game with a massive home run, he’s far from cooked. He smacked the ball in his first AB tonight I get he’s been hot and cold but this notion that he’s a bad player is ridiculous. I mean he’s .284/.346/.518 on the year….

I really miss the girl from last night yelling "Lets go Red Sox!" She was good luck!

I dig the effort Jack Lopez My apologies to Jackie for suggesting that last night would be his only big league experience. Jackie will last until Kiké or Arroyo comes back.

ERod at 25 pitches through 2 innings is an encouraging sign

ERod's looked really good so far. But I'm sure he's about to start sucking (let's see if that avoids jinxing him)

ERod reminding us that there IS a #2 in there. Wish he could pull it together for an extended stretch. Starting today would be super convenient.

I don't think an apology is necessary, it has truth to it. Great story. However, showboating and looking at the ball before you throw it was real rookie league stuff for a guy who has waited so long to get to the bigs. When your get there, best to remember who you are playing for and against.
