His K% is trending less than half of what it was last year and on top of that his Barrel% is going through the roof vs last year. That is a hell of a doom and gloom combination.
So Bo playing with Gimenez on his left and Clement on his right will likely limit his defensive opportunities in terms of range. This could be a big help to him because in his mind he thinks he's Ozzie Smith but the reality is far from it. But limiting his range at that position shouldn't help his OAA at all from my thinking. Very weird.
But what happened to his splitter then? Seems he has lost it since he needs the fastball to set up the splitter. Strike outs have evaporated for him. We should be worried I think.
Beating the Red Sux is great. Easton Lucas shoved, the summer of George continues, Bo is on a mission, and our bullpen is well rested for the series win tomorrow night. What's not to like?
Must not lose game
We're in tough tonite folks.
Pretty excited for Lucas making a start in Fenway. Despite my hatred for the Bosox this is kind of a big deal.
Oh, and starting Straw in CF tonight is a good move at wonky Fenway.
