Plus notes on Whitlock, the Odor call, JD Martinez, the lead-off spot, and the Yankees
Let me just take this time to say: yan-kees suck! yan-kees suck! yan-kees suck!
I agree the leadoff spot has been annoying, but I think it’s hard to argue that it’s hurting the team all that much.
They’re playing at a 100-win pace, and have a top-3 offense in the AL.
The Sox are smart to bunch their 4 best hitters, and I’m not sure they’d score many more runs batting 1-4 instead of 2-5.
Also, at some point we should acknowledge Renfroe, who’s doing an excellent Tom Brunansky impersonation lately.
He’s playing much more and much better than I expected
You know, I could swear I wrote about Renfroe recently, but looking back through the ol' archives it appears I haven't. Odd! I'll have to rectify that.
