Series Thread: Going to Red Sox Nation for some national exposure

We lose some defense and definitely some arm in CF, but Deshields gives one thing we need right now, baserunners with his willingness to work the count and take a walk and have smart ABs

Can't really say for certain how much difference in power there would be as DDJ's minor league league numbers at least suggest similar power potential as Martin

Haven't been able to gauge DDJ's arm much, but his defense has been at least solid in the OF so far

Basically reiterating the fact that Martin is fighting for his job right now and he's losing that battle badly

I don't give a shit if DeShields hits a single home run. As long as he's getting on base he can virtually steal anytime we need him to. Plus, with his speed he'll end up with some extra bases anyways.

I don't see the point in taking Mitch out there.

Mitch had himself a nice game.

Not any.

This park is a joke

They could PH Blanks for Rosales and put Field at 2nd and Blanks at 1st.

Buzz actually made a good point there and that was Mitch's defense in the late innings.

They lose defense at first though. I probably would've just left Mitch in.

Watching on my phone and thought the same thing. So Rosales to first and Field plays 2nd? Field didn't score on double, MM is probably on 3rd too

 

[romeo212000]

Don't let tolley screw around here. Need to have Scheppers warming just in case.

 

[Bmurph]

Is this 3 days in a row for Tolle or did he not come in game 1? Maybe I'm thinking last game of last series?

He didn't pitch in the first game I don't think.

 

[WastinSomeTime]

Corporan didn't catch that 2nd pitch well. Napoli has been chasing those outside breaking pitches.

 

[DT LUNA]

Nice job Tolley

I meant once MM was already taken out and Rosales was coming to bat.

I know. If rather have Rosales at first than Blanks.

Nice to get a series win. Offense still lacking, but they did enough.

 

[Bmurph]

Like to keep winning series

Was nice to win in a park we tend to struggle in a bit. Tough series next in the Bronx.

If Hamilton can be a legitimate threat this offense might just have a chance with a 1-6 of Choo, DDJ, Fielder, Beltre, Mitch, Hamilton. Moreland is really doing work so far. If he can stay healthy, he'll produce.
