[Official] Red Sox @ Astros

Best you can ask for with Maldy catching. The MVP is back at least.

 

Abreu.....injured and can't hit.
Singleton.....can't hit.

Solution.....Yainer. He ain't no Yuli. But he can hit.

 

Singleton fakes that he can hit with his chest out to try to draw the walk. When that doesn’t work, he swings wildly at the air.

 

Moldy MF

 

When Paxton is on, he's tough to hit. Usually a lot of ground balls. Good luck Javier.

 

Swap Chaz and Breggs and I'd be a little happier - but this aint bad IF Maldy HAS to catch. Maldy . . . every lineup looks like we are just hanging the 7 and 8 out to dry when Martin is batting 9th.

 

At least Dusty only went half fool instead of full blown

 

Against a lefty, pretty good lineup.

 

Almost time to be 1.5 games back!

 

Maldy playing means Dusty isn’t trying to win

 

100% accurate. He's a bum.

 

Lol. We will see.

 

This could get ugly fast.

 

Make or break first inning.

 

3 IP, 6 ER, 1 stupid look on face.

 

Javier or Rome?

 

7 Astros hitters have an equal or better OPS against LHPs.

 

As bad as Maldy is, Singleton’s season numbers are like 20% worse. His OPS is .473 and his career numbers aren’t much better. Diaz at 1st and Maldy catching is a better lineup than Diaz catching and Singleton at 1st.


We should all hope Brantley can play 1B and returns this week.
