Look at Ray Ray Run

My lord. He missed one throw?

It's a long season.

Lol you guys are nuts. Bennetti one of the best play by play guys in all of sports. The anti-benneti stuff by some is comical and just shows sox fans will b**** about anything.

So Michael Jordan didnt focus and pay attention?

Cant really decide when you give up homers so all you can do is limit base runners in general and hope you dont get screwed by sequencing. His WHIP is 1 and he gave up a 3 run homer, bad break. I really hope someone asks Ricky why the fuck he's bunting with the teams best hitter.

Wasn't watching, figured he squared once for a hit but that doesnt sound like the case.

I mean it shows up... he had a good WHIP and great K/BB. That shows up in the box score. No biggie. He was dominant but fell the victim of hit sequencing and a blast. Not anything to fret about.

Ahhh, not watching so did not know that. I would change that assessment then and I would fire Ricky tonight.

Wonder if we'll get an update from our buddy Josh over at Soxmachine on Yoan's "second half" numbers.

I'm like 99% sure Ricky did not tell Yoan Moncada to bunt but I cant with 100% certainty because there is a 1% possibility ricky is that dumb.

That's funny.

He already set the record greater than 50 at bats.

Shocked if the Red Sox traded one of their few young controllable and cheap assets given their contract issues. That said, the talent differential between the two of them was always really obvious.

I remember when a lot of Sox fans complained that the Sox didn't get Benetendi instead of Yoan after last year. That was funny stuff.

Even the top level analytics people arent making anywhere near top level players make in the finance industry. At that point though youd be making enough to sacrifice the difference if you love baseball. At the entry level and mid-tier level the pay is just significantly lower.

Reverse splits his entire career too. Not just this year. Guy is a dope.

Yeah but it was still a ball. So call it a ball. I get the point - strike zone consistency. But NO batter wanted the pitch called a strike to mccann being called a strike all game to everyone. Neither were strikes and neither should have been called strikes. The one being called a strike should have no impact on calling the next ball a strike. Ps. Umpires and pitchers suck and are just a necessary evil so that people can watch who really entertains them; the real players.

Not really Just because you fucked up one call doesnt mean you should fuck up other ones. He just shouldnt have fucked up that one he did.

You should get docked much more for that call.

Lol what the fuck was that? That's a foot outside. How do you call that a strike.

Eh, I'm on the fence here. Better to be put in good situations early. I dont think it would ruin him but facing a lefty can put lefties in ruts once in a blue moon. He needs to learn but he just needs to learn to hit in general at the big league level.

He has a super weird combination of great bat speed with a super long swing. He's made a name for himself this year though that's for sure.

I can't believe people still trust Carson Fulmer.

Fucking abreu just ruined the play of the year at third. Unreal.

Yeah, he just needs to learn how hes being attacked in the big leagues and work with that. Think he'll be fine.
