Love that we're back to the Abreu fifth thing.

Otherwise decent.


I am happy that Diaz and Chas in lineup so not that upset, but I would love to hear Dusty's genius explanation for moving Abreu back up in the order.

At this point the first four spots in the lineup should be set in stone, and as long as Maldy is catching he's batting 9. So Dusty really only has 4 lineup spots to play with and he still ****s it up. Flipping Diaz and Abreu at a minimum would be a great start to fixing this.

Abreu hitting 5th? Wtf? Double play machine is once again operational
Donkey gonna Donkey. He's a veteran, he DESERVES that lineup spot. No, he f***ing doesn't just like Julks didn't earn the chance to go 0-38 or whatever ridiculous number it was.

The way teams have been pitching around Tucker and Yordan lately (even with Yordan's "slump") I expect to see Abreu up with at least 2 men on base once or twice tonight. I just pray he doesn't hit into a double-play. If he does you can expect Chas to lead off the next inning hitting a bomb.

Abreu should hit 7th until he proves his 40+ year old back is fine. ****ing Donkey.

https://www.mlb.com/news/ceddanne-rafaela-called-up-to-red-sox

Quote:
Red Sox prospect Ceddanne Rafaela started August by homering in five consecutive Minor League games. Now he'll end it by getting his first call up to the Major Leagues.

The Red Sox are calling up Rafaela for the team's stretch run, per MLB.com's Ian Browne. The Red Sox haven't announced the move. MLB Pipeline ranks Rafaela as Boston's No. 3 prospect and the No. 77 prospect in baseball.

Rafaela is hitting .302 with an .870 OPS across Double-A and Triple-A this year with 20 home runs, 79 RBIs and 36 steals in 108 games in what's been the best offensive Minor League season for him thus far.

None of it really makes sense. He's been out of MLB for over a year. How much difference is a day going to make?

So MB is a veteran but not an Abreu level veteran. He will get activated and then Dusty will make him wait another game or 2? Just so Dusty is sure?

Activating Abreu wasn't going to make sweetheart Corey go away.

Dusty manages position players like he's got a division lead of 20 games or is 20 games behind.

Unless it's pitchers, then it's high leverage all the effing time.

Abreu should hit 7th until he proves his 40+ year old back is fine. ****ing Donkey.
Cue Abreu going 3 for 5 with 2 RBI

If that's what it takes. I also am willing to pay the luxury tax tonight...I bet on the stupid Red Sox. Please Donkey, make a fool out of me. I'd rather not make money on your dumb ass, I'd much rather we win.
