Or Not

Maybe I gave Chris Getz too much credit for a growing interest in winning games this year as opposed to seasons down the line. In other words, Mariners 8 Sox 3. Sox starter Davis Martin has an irritating—and career threatening—habit of alternating unhittable pitches with godawful fat ones, oftentimes in the same at-bat. We are not amused. Then, there’s the case of Josh Rojas, the new Jacob Amaya. Rojas is hitting .174 in 184 at-bats. Last night, he went 0-for-2 (plus a walk) while making an error at second base that came around to score on a Josh Naylor—him, again—homerun. In what world does Rojas play ahead of Bryan Ramos? I’d like to see what Ramos could’ve done in a game like the one last night. Lenyn Sosa—him, again—hit a first-inning homer against winning pitcher Bryan Woo. Then, nothing happened until the ninth, when Luis Robert Jr. and Colson Montgomery went back-to-back for the other two runs. Ramos brings youth; energy; power; and a decent glove, not unlike Montgomery. You’d think a rebuilding team would want all the players it could get with those attributes. Yes, Chris?
