I have read and heard it numerous times that Jake is considered the superior defensive centerfielder over Chaz


Well his ass cost us a run last night when he loafed and Andrus ran right in his face.

Again...He keeps getting chances and not showing much.

You must have missed the chi sox player taking 3rd on a single to center right in jakes face last night. Since his shoulder injury he's had a noodle arm and teams run on him every chance they get.
Yup. That got a lot of groans from the crowd last night.
And here we are, giving him another start while the starting CFer in our WS championship is sitting for the 2nd day in a row. Chas isn't a better player than Meyer by a large amount, but I do believe he earned the first shot at establishing himself as the everyday starter. You'd think "old school Dusty" would feel the same.

Alot of things can be true at the same time.

I get why we want to give Jake an extended look. We need to figure out relatively soon if he's part of the plan or if it's time to move on. He's flashed enough potential to warrant a regular opportunity at full health.

It definitely sucks for Chas. His ALCS dingers and WS catch last year were big contributions to our run. And he's shown he's capable of being a 25 HR, .750 OPS guy at the big league level. It's almost like he's punished because "we know what we've got" with him.

But at the end of the day, Ted is the only guy whose spot in our OF is "locked-in" for multiple years. Brantley's spot is basically locked-in this year. IMO Chas isn't quite on that level. For better or worse, if we're trying to evaluate some young guys in a crowded OF, he's probably going to continue getting the short end of the stick.

Late to post, but sharing two pics from yesterday.

Btw, I HATE when teams use fireworks in pre-game (or halftime of games with halves). With the roof open, it's not a big deal and the smoke can clear. With the roof closed, it just leaves a haze hanging in the air for the entire game.

So that makes me wonder if it was pre-determined all along by someone other than Dusty.

That means Jake will go deep tonight and Dusty will have an excuse to platoon them

I don't think Dusty gave up control of the lineup card. Not even AJ let Jeff control his.

McCormick must have banged Dusty's daughter… only reasonable explanation.

I do agree with you, but it seems curious that he would commit to saying Chas for sure on Sat/Sun. Are the Sox throwing any LH starters this weekend?

Meyers is gonna go 0-4 today and start again tomorrow. Good ol' Dusty.


I was close - he was only 0-3 with 2 Ks and a lollygag throw to 3rd. Dusty is so predictable. And nothing against Meyers it's just that Chas>>>>Jake with a pretty good sample size.
Eso si, Que es

God I love seeing the left shoulder tap again. I have missed that so much. Even when that man is just sitting in the dugout chewing sunflower seeds he has an incredible spray chart with his shells.

If he's going to do that it needs to be one of the broadcast crew and/or former players' progeny like with Robert Horry and Calvin Murphy.

Cost us a run? You mean Elvis Andrus, the guy he allowed to get to third who was immediately thrown out at home by Bregman trying to score?

I've always had trouble at the beginning of the season with any of my 3 vpn options... I've long suspected MLB polices it early on and then backs off after a few days.

What VPN are you using? I switched yesterday from Surf Shark to Nord and it seemed better.
