He's been even better than I thought but defense was never his problem, which is why a lot of us wanted him up when it became clear no other 3B option could hit either. But TBF, the adjustments they wanted him to make seem to have taken at the plate.
I'd love this. I know he's got some weird boomer love for radio and that's cool, bring him back as Pat's replacement. I don't think it'll happen but I'd be all over it; I also think Len and Ron would actually play off each other pretty well.
PCA pace is 44 HR, 44 SB and 145 RBI. While playing Platinum Glove defense in CF.
To think when this year started we just wanted him to hit enough to keep his glove in the lineup.
Shaw is either the best fielder of all options or very close and he can't realistically hit worse, so yeah, let's get him back up here. Maybe by the end of the year he'll be PCA-ing
I was just thinking earlier how funny it is that it took him so freaking long to so much as get a hit and now less than a year later he's destroying the ball.
Basically if the starter doesn't go 5 IP and the lead doesn't change hands after that the scorekeeper picks the winning pitcher. No idea what that process looks like.
Holy crap, a double brain fart by the Sox. Should've probably gone for the DP in the first place, then Thaiss drops the ball on top of it, so no out at all.
