  1. At least, we found our lead off hitter in Benintendi and hope with Remilliard, and got TA out of the leading spot. Major disappointments in Robert and Eloy with RISP, and roster difficulties with slider.
  2. The Sox have turned out to be one of the worst teams in MLB. The pity is that the Sox have a large payroll and has some talent but they underachieve, and no adjustments are made.
  3. Most of our guys can’t hit a slider, and swing and miss on any balls out of the zone. . Need to take a strike before swinging for the first time.
  4. Our guys need to recognize the slider and not swing at it as they cannot hit it anyway.
  5. Need to activate the running game. Remy should have been running.
  6. Once again Burger needs to get the take sign with a slider pitcher until he gets the first strike. He would have walked or not get a slider later in the count.
  7. Burger needs to be given a take sign until a strike is thrown. He would have walked. We need to do things differently, not repeating the same mistakes.
  8. Can’t move the run over. It is also fair to say that Sheets should have hada triple, he thought he had a homer and did not hustle running.
  9. I am taping the game, so I went back and can confirm that the ball Eloy hit was high out of the zone,not even close.
  10. It’s probably right brain soreness instead.
  11. Another walk that scores against the Sox.
  12. Finally Robert delivers after a AAA subbing for TA takes a walk! Eloy impatient swinging at the first ball he sees and high out of the zone, stops any rally.
  13. Three double plays so far for the Sox. Time to activate the running game. We need to shake things up quickly.
  14. Where was TA? Doubled up on a popup foul ball to 1B. Robert has been awful with men at 3rd and less than 2 outs, very little contact, either strike out or popup.
  15. Yes. We have become Kings of the solo homer.
  16. Burger took a walk. That is another miracle.
  17. Both Seby and Grandal have cost us runs on passed balls lately. Just lazy stabs at catchable or blockable balls. ?
  18. Now he can hit into a double play in the first inning instead of just a one out ground ball to the short stop. Pedro should have called for a hit and run. with TA high Groundball rate.
  19. If I was Grifol I would have every batter tomorrow take at least a pitch. Swinging at everything all is producing is a sporadic solo homer and lots of strike outs. Need to try something different.
  20. Hope so. No adjustments. Can’t manufacture runs. No walks taken. Lots of strike outs. Nothing changes for the better. Team is dead. Grifol is a major bust.
  21. Burger takes two strikes then strikes out. Nobody taking a ball in the 9 th.
  22. Once again swinging at a slider out of the zone. Golden Sombrero tonight for Robert.
