Didn't look good when they were down 4-1 but they hung in there and offense came alive.  Need more xtra base hits though.

Would have loved to take 4 out of 5, but they won the series. 

Rematch with the Yankees next.  Let's hope Dallas continues to have their #.

His per 162 average is 31 homers 152 games into his career.  He has a career wRC+ is 131.  He's already an elite hitter, and that includes large stretches where he looked absolutely helpless at hte plate.  Robert can be frustrating to watch at times, but his peak is still best player in the game and he's still far from a finished product.  As usual, get a grip on reality.   

I keep forgetting that Robert is 24, not 26+ like the other guys. He still has room to grow. Same with Vaughn. 

They're in a completely different place in their careers than the other "core" players.

It's Vince. He's the one with the best chance to be sent to the minors preserving team depth.

He was signed to a major league contract though according to the thread where he was signed. How can he be sent to the minors without being released?

I think he has a shot to be a decent long reliever. He's just not starting pitcher material.

I'm fairly sure if you just stood up there against Garrett without a bat, you'd walk 6 times out of 10. 

At one point recently RH hitters against Garrett this season were 2/21 and LH hitters just 1/12 but walking the world.

Unless he accepted the reassignment.  But then some players might prefer to get their full contract paid off right away and to latch on with a rebuilding team that can give him a spot in the rotation to keep from having to use prospects before they are fully ready. Like Derek Holland who we overpaid during the rebuild.

Thank you Jerry for bringing in TLR to manage this potentially great team! Additionally, thank you TLR, for bringing your buddy, the "yes man" and genius hitting guru Menechino to make this great potential team hit so well and be near the bottom of the league in all the key offensive categories! 

Low energy, no accountability manager.  Bad coaching.  TLR is ruining this season for the Sox.

Even Benetti is getting into the action commenting why do the Sox have the fewest pinch hitting in the majors at five and the Diamondbacks backs have had 49 pinch hitters.   And that TLR doesn’t like to pinch hit players while on their “rest” days.   How many times we have seen our resting sluggers grabbing bench late in close games, and TLR letting the scrubs hit in game situations,  our Chuck has also questioned TLR moves as well.  And these are Sox employees.  TLR has to go and soon.

With all of the players injured running to first, many in here were telling players not to go all out to first.

Damn it I wanted Robert to run on that 2nd pitch .

It was a no brainer to run Robert.  Abreu is a double play in a baseball uniform.  TLR had been putting runners in motion ahead of Abreu to avoid the DP, but must have been sleep this time.
