Sox trying to fix Vargas

He just can’t hit velocity.  

I love when it looks like he is swinging after the ball is already in the catcher’s mitt.

The Sox should tell Vargas to employ the same strategy that he did with the Dodgers a year ago when he fractured his pinky finger.  The Dodgers coaching staff told him to go up to the plate and never swing.  He’d be more productive that way.

Basically everyone the Sox traded away, is playing really well.

By “everyone” you mean just Kopech right? Orioles fans are ready to launch Eloy into the sun, Fedde has been worse, and Pham was already let go by the Cardinals.

Take out a flukey first inning where the Cubs scored 5 ER in his first start with the Cards, Fedde has actually been great since.

Idk where they should even play him. 3B I guess. Let Ramos and him battle it out in ST.

Just stick him at DH and give him the entire year to show something.

Vaughn can continue to be his normal subpar self at 1B.

And for the love of god do not bring Sheets back.

I’d rather put him in LF and DH Benintendi (even though I assume he’s traded with Crochet)

Unproven today.  0-4 but only 2Ks. 

8 Ks in last 15 ABs. 

Team has struck out 16x today through 8 innings.  

I’m absolutely shocked that the Sox are having no luck fixing Vargas, considering how good they are at fixing swings.

🤣

Vargas is a bust and the Sox won’t be the team to fix him, even if he can be fixed.

He was doing the one handed swing thing more today.  It’s honestly the worst swing I’ve seen this year.

I couldn’t watch the game.  Did he swing at any fastballs after they were clearly already in the catcher’s mitt?  That’s my favorite Vargas move.
