AL East Thread

Didn't see play but I see Devers with yet another error last night. Was it a legit error or could it have been scored a hit?

Also, when are the Blue Jays going to be able to play in Canada? Is COVID still a huge issue there? Are the Canadian NHL teams playing home games in the US, too? I’m confused why it’s still April of 2020 in Canada.

I believe this was their last homestand in Dunedin, now they move to Buffalo, and I think their first July homestand will be at Skydome

I’ll take it, prob cost them nothing

Crazy win for the Sox tonight. That Blue Jays team is REALLY scary and they don’t even have Springer yet. Pitching is suspect/mediocre, though. They are basically a mirror image of the Red Sox. You put Scherzer on the Jays staff and THEY might be the favorites.

This division shaping up as some crazy battle, don’t see any of the 4 teams falling too far behind

lol nope. They created a canada only division for hockey this season so the teams never had to leave the country

@raptorlife4 we need answers

Thanks BKS. You can see how much I follow the NHL these days. Lol.

Feel bad for LeMarre. Guy plays in the minors for 20 years...finally gets called up...and instantly gets hurt.

Sox and Jays need some pitching help. Yankees need a bat, or 2(certainly a legit OF, but Story still makes the sense, too). The Rays are probably all set and will stay right in the mix without doing anything splashy. They are amazing.

Not a routine play. And it cost them, too. His defense has improved quite a bit over the years, but this was not one of his better moments:

That's a pretty "tough" error to give him there for sure.. I see why it was given but I've seen a lot worse from him.. He does make some great plays but then he makes the routine plays look extremely tough and sometimes doesn't even get those

Yeah. Can’t really kill him for that one. It came in a big spot, but not an “easy” play any means. I’m not sure how many guys can field that short hop on the run and make the throw. Maybe 40-50% of the time the play is made?

I think only a handful of guys make that play and even then they are at best making the play 50% of the time. What pisses me off the most about him is a lot of times he just nonselantly throws the ball to first and it's off the mark. That's inexcusible imo

meh he has 7 errors on pace for about 30 he needs to be the DH or move him somewhere 3b is too important

Well JD isn't spectacular in the field either so where are you going to put him if Devers is the DH?

Move him to 2nd? Can Arroyo play third? Marwin can play pretty much anywhere. But I've gotten to the point of holding my breath on anything hit up the third base line. Fielding, throwing, it's all an adventure with him.

I actually think he’s gotten a lot better over there. He’s made some really good plays this year that he NEVER would make in the past. He’ll never be Arenado over there, but he is improving. I’m sure he could handle 1B, if not. I always heard Dalbec was a good 3B?

 

[chappee11]

Have the Red Sox hit a triple this season? I swear I haven’t seen one.

Can't be asking for much. He can opt out of his minor league contract if he's not added to the Rangers 40 man by June 1, and then they'll get nothing.

I believe both Devers and Dalbec lead the league in errors respective to their positions. How much worse could it get?

1 more than the Yankees, who hit their first 2 of the season this week.
