Vaughn is broken all of a sudden.

Maybe feeling the pressure with friends/family/classmates in attendance?

He’s been bad for over a week.

Can't even get Rodon vs. the Sox to get the thread page count to 10 this series.

Jose turning into an elite plate discipline + OBP guy at age 35 is so impressive

[maxjusttyped 3,321]

La Russa never would have pulled Cobb if he were in the same situation. It must be nice having a manager who thinks proactively.

truly an awful player

[caulfield12 4,447]

Amazing launch angle by Sheets. Wouldn't have been a homer in a phone booth.

[Soxfest 783]

Dead offense again

This caused me to look up Sheets' pop-up rate and see it's nearly at 30% (16% in the majors, which is also alarmingly high) in AAA this year. His swing is just completely broken right now

[HahnsKiddieTable 1,430]

Don’t think Lynn should be out here in the 6th but what do I know…

[BigHurt3515 1,258]

Wait, Tanner Banks is first out of the bullpen in a tie game?

Yep and it’s pathetic they rushed him back up.  It doesn’t take a genius to see how messed up his swing is.  Every team probably has 2 guys in AAA that are career minor leaguers that could be more useful than him.

But Sox best trade piece this entire offseason...overvalued since there was no other option, not unlike Leury's confounding # of opportunities.

Tony expecting them to be down by the time he’s put in the game

And the reason they couldn’t make trades is because no one wanted him.

Not the Sox, though 🙂 no depth anywhere to be found. Lillian favorite Tyler Neslony would probably be most deserving of a call-up to fill role TLR wants from Sheets.

they're just going to pinch hit with righties. Kapler runs very strict platoons with like half the lineup.

Lamb Hamilton Goodwin etc.

Well he definitely doesn't have the foot speed to beat out anything hit on the ground other than balls with billiards masse hit off the end of the bat against the shift.

Lance looks done

Bummer lat update?

Regardless of whether he gets out of this inning or not I thought he should have been done after 5

[maxjusttyped 3,321]

Lance is definitely in the danger zone right now

[Look at Ray Ray Run 7,329]

Obviously in a 0-0 game in the 6tn after an off day the first guy up is tanner banks lol

Amazing steakhouses in Frisco. Might not get the simple potatoes he prefers. He could do a lot of damage at Cheesecake Factory on Union Square.
