RE: My First Look at the 2018 Major League Baseball Standings: Surprises and Disappointments So Far
I'm very happy to see the image of Pablo Sandoval, yesterday I saw the video of how he closed the 9th inning with 3 ground balls. For Venezuelans he has been an idol together with Miguel Cabrera and Jose Altuve but since he went to the Red Sox he had many ups and downs and overweight problems.
Now will he be the closer or the reliever of the team or was it all a simple experiment? For me the best thing is that he continues as catcher, but if I can be a good pitcher it will be ok.
They usually don't pitch with position players, but the other team had scored 15 runs in Game 1 of a doubleheader, so they wanted to rest their staff. He was good enough that maybe they'll ask him to try again?
I don't think they'll ask him to do that again unless we're in that exact same situation with another game that evening.
But he did a great job of getting out of the inning, and the guys said he actually provided a bit of a morale boost after a very disappointing game 1
