When you watch some of the good batters with Boston and then watch Bichette , he is far away from becoming an elite batsman … if he doesn’t control his wild swings and hit the ball in front of the plate ; he will become snother Biggio . Charlie better start looking at his batting lineup because in 162 games our lack lustre offence will bite them in the ass …. Yes they have won enough games to be in first , but clutch / situational / singles / doubles to keep innings going is really lacking .

Don't mind a batting order shakeup....but did you just compare Bo to Biggio?

I understand offense is down across all of baseball but this lineup doesn't seem as deadly without Semien. We seem very mortal whereas last year it felt like it wasn't fair to other teams (when healthy).

 

I had hoped Chapman could provide 80 to 90% of what Semien did offensively but that may have been unrealistic. We might need to add one big bullpen arm and a top/middle of the order bat near the trade deadline if we want to standout in the playoffs.

You thought Chapman would compare to Semian?

I thought Chapman would have a bounce back season after having enough time to heal the hip and being able to play in more hitter friendly parks. Hes not far removed from putting up MVP calibre numbers. This can still happen since we're obviously very early in the season.
