I now prefer Vladdy on first.

[RobinThicc]

Hopefully Manoah is good tonight. Would be great to take 3 out of 4.

[Laika]

I hope my favourite sporting team can win the sports game this evening

[G-Snarls]

Vindication victory please

Fun fact: Here are the MLB WAR leaders since May 1:

Looking at it again, the most surprising thing for me from the above graphic is actually that Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has 10 less plate appearances than Marcus Semien in a span of just 39 games, despite batting just two spots lower in the order. That's more than two games worth of PA's in a quarter of a season.

 

This is why I badly want Vlad at #2.

 

1 | Springer

2 | Vlad

3 | Semien

4 | Teoscar

5 | Bichette

6 | Kirk

7 | Grichuk

8 | Gurriel

9 | Biggio

I dig it, maybe swap Kirk and Grich. But seems like Charlie will have Vlad cemented into the 3rd spot for the rest of the season.

Did they each play in the same number of games during that time span? Probably, but I wonder...

Yes, it's literally the number right next to plate appearances on the graphic, haha.

 

39 Games, 177 PAs for Semien

39 Games, 167 PAs for Vladdy

Oops, silly me.

Also have to consider if Vladdy's lifted early in a blowout or something and Semien isn't (IIRC he was pulled yesterday, but Semien got one extra AB...)

[Spanky99]

Weather looks like poop tonight, hopefully they get it in.

[JaysAllMighty]

Go Jays Go

[Daniel Labude]

110.3 MPH out for Vlad. Another great diving stop by Devers

[Daniel Labude]

Going to need a good game offensively, defensively, and pitching again

[Orgfiller]

The fact that a routine 290 foot pop up to left field gives you concern tells you a lot about how garbage this park is. Yankee Stadium is the exact same way.

Feel like that would have been out if this were a day game too. Ball's been flying out of Fenway in the day.

[Slyfisher]

Good start Manoah!!

[TwistedLogic]

I'll definitely take an uneventful 14-pitch first inning for Manoah.

[Jaysareus]

Weak pop up by a very tough hitter good sign from Manoah

[G-Snarls]

Huge thumbs up

[Slyfisher]

It's about damn time Springer goes for a rehab assignment

[Solaxys]

Hm, Alex all over the place.

[TwistedLogic]

"Somebody get this man some substance."

 

Dennis Eckersley after Manoah almost drills Bogaerts in the head, lmao.

[Jgarza868899]

Manoah stuff is so average. Sox about to knock him around

[TwistedLogic]

Knew it. Was only a matter of time before failing to throw guys out at first would come back to bite them.

 

Three times already today they let a guy get away scott-free at first.

 

Gurriel is atrocious in the field by the way.

[RobinThicc]

Manoah doesnt look very good lol.
