Grandal, Abreu, and Eloy are the key reasons why this offense currently sucks. .644 / .697 / .661 OPS from the #3, #4, and #5 is not acceptable.

He'd be here, but he'd probably be struggling and "getting acclimated." Renteria would have hitting 8th "to protect him."

Yeah, I wouldn't.

He and Grandal a big fat 0 each.

This team is just allergic to taking walks.

Bad umping gets so magnified when your team can't hit for shit.

I can guarantee to you that if anything, Dunning is being stretched out in Schaumburg to start in case either of Lopez or Rodon cannot make it back on the next turn. Dunning is coming back from TJ, the bullpen is not a good idea for him at this time because of the daily availability that's required from relievers. If he starts, the Sox can control when he pitches and he can work off a set schedule to be able to try to stay healthy.

Bummer got hurt IMO on that fielding play and throw he one hopped to 1B that Abreu couldn't handle. The next pitch he threw after that was his last one. I always cringe when pitchers have to make plays/throws along the 3B line. Or anytime off the mound. It's a different stress type of throw which can easily injure you since you're not usually throwing after running, stopping, and then planting.

Rongey was fine until he became Bernstein's lap dog.

Did you watch the game? Madrigal slid ass first and jammed his arm.

I'll take a separated shoulder over what appeared to be a broken forearm or dislocated elbow from his reaction.

Again, I pointed out to you that there are also 5 OFs already. If the point is you just want another glove instead of a DH guy, then Delmonico isnt' that. Call up Basabe or Gonzalez then. I don't understand why you and Ricky want to die on this Delmonico hill.

Not really. You have a #4 OF in Engel and #5 in Leury. There is no role for Delmonico. Keep the best possible bat off the bench in case of a late inning need.

1st K of the year for Colome. 3 IPs. Thanks for the close, but time to move one from this guy in the 9th.

That's the equivalent of Moncada bunting in the 9th with no one on. Genius.
