thanks man, I'll take a look at this.

 

Does it make a difference that I'm on mobile?

So my take, as this seems to be close to what a MLB line-up could look like.

 

1.) I think they need to have Biggio batting lead off! OBP and speed, and Bichette is a better contact bat to have in the 2 hole and drive in RBIs.

 

Teo should be ahead of Grichuk in the line up, I think he is a better batter.

 

I also think Jansen should be hitting ahead of Fisher.. I also think he is a better hitter..

 

That is all.

 

Thank God.

Lineups cards updated. Red Sox have no pitching but they still have some thump in their batting order, it will be a good test for Big Nate.

 

Full 9 tonight I imagine ?

 

I think so, it's not an intrasquad game.

According to Wilner, it will go all 9 yes.

[BlueRocky]

I'd swap Tellez with Hernandez and Fisher with Jansen in the lineup and that order is about as good as it gets. Hopefully Lourdes doesn't miss any/much time.

 

I think they're sneaking Jansen in the bottom of the order as a "second lead-off/OBP" guy putting him 9th.

He has one of the faster sprint speed for catchers in the MLB last season with 27.3 ft/s and 4.46s home to 1st.

Jansen was even faster in 2018 and apparently his conditioning has improved. It's not quite at the tier of JT Realmuto with 28.7 ft/s and 4.22 home to 1st, but speed is still an asset for him. Willson Contreras was 27.7 ft/s and 4.37s HP to 1st, which is closer to Jansen's 2018 statcast numbers.

 

Bo Bichette is 28.4 ft/s and 4.20s HP to 1st.

Cavan Biggio is 28.3 ft/s and 4.35s HP to 1st.

You are sounding kinda old school Blue Rocky... That is frowned upon on this board. Statistics indicate that the 8th hitter will get X / Pie x 3.14/9 innings squared more bats per season. You want to have your better hitters get more ABs!!!

[Spanky99]

Yes, my son?

 

You need the hair to play this role?

1.) I think they need to have Biggio batting lead off! OBP and speed, and Bichette is a better contact bat to have in the 2 hole and drive in RBIs.

 

This argument makes some sense. But I think Bichette really likes being the lead-off hitter and stays motivated doing it.

 

Gurriel is absent from the batting order, that's not good. I'm a bit on the fence with Shaw as our cleanup hitter.

[BlueRocky]

10 minutes to game time, grabbing beverages for the Nate Pearson show.

couple updates:

[BlueRocky]

Bichette obligatory hack on the 1st swing and we're underway.

 

Where's the audio?

[max silver]

couple updates:

 

Jesus Charlie keep Panik the hell away from the outfield, there's enough available outfielders on the damn roster that need playing time that a slap hitting infielder shouldn't be playing instead.

[Jonn]

You had one job Sportsnet

[Orgfiller]

It's bad enough without a crowd, but if you take away the commentators too I think I'm going to lose it. I need sound.

Damn we got ghosted by a scrub

Hopefully by September it won’t look like Vlad was trapped in a chocolate factory the entire quarantine.

[Jonn]

The Hustle!

[BlueRocky]

Vlad hustled down to beat that DP

[Abomination]

Hopefully by September it won’t look like Vlad was trapped in a chocolate factory the entire quarantine.

 

No kidding. On the plus side, at least we get him while he's young, cheap, and healthy. If he balloons like Prince Fielder, then don't extend him and let some other team get the albatross contract

[Daniel Labude]

Vlad looks to be in better shape, probably same weight though

[Jonn]

Red Sox treating Vlad like Ricky Henderson after he burned down the line

[BlueRocky]

Shaw taking some good pitches, they're putting a pretty heavy shift on him I think.

Edit: and he walks

[saskjayfan]

Do you have an optometrist close to you?

[Orgfiller]

This is awful, someone set up a mic in Pat Tabler's room. This is genuinely close to intolerable. I need to hear some stupid takes.
