Oh I dont disagree. I’m just saying I think that could be lack of focus at times leads to that. I have no idea if it’s that or maybe he isn’t as good as we think. I’ve seen the guy that looks like the best pitcher in baseball and I’ve seen a guy that can’t throw a strike. Just trying to figure out why such the wide variance. Maybe the not starting thing bothers him. Who knows.

I’ve kind of wondered if his is more of a focus thing. I think sometimes he knows his stuff is so good that he just kind of seems lackadaisical a bit, but when you watch that at bat against Witt you see him locked in. It’s like when he knows there’s no room for error he just looks more locked in from the start of the at bat as opposed to I know my stuff is better then you so I’m just probably going to get you out.

Bummer didn't generally have guys drop transfers and pop ups. He got squibbed to death.

I dont know if I've ever seen a pitcher have that bad of luck in any inning ever.

This is the most overblown thing. If people watched most of the games, he burns a lot of them late in games when he’s just using them to use them. His challenges in situations that matter are fine. Like Gordon just said, “you can’t take them with you”.

Hey I’ve got an idea. I can’t throw a slider inside for a strike and I’ve walked two guys. Let’s throw more sliders inside.

Claimed him off waivers from the Braves I believe

He's one guy I cant figure out why he hasn't been back on the team. He was pretty good last year in his time with the big club and has done nothing but pitch well at Charlotte. Like why does Bido need a spot on this team?

Its going to be nice when one day guys like Leasure are in the 5th/6th inning role and not pitching in leverage situations. He just collapses with any pressure.

Narrator: He's not in the game.

He would've been thrown out at third. Ball was fielded in shallow left field.

Hawk would've had many heart attacks calling Mune HRs.

If things continue on the path they're on with Montgomery, Bonnemer, Roch, and Carlson then it wont matter.

Did you know he made a swing change at the end of last April?

They need to stop trying to get bottom of the roster guys ABs and just leave guys at their best position.

I actually hate that I don’t hate it. I was prepared to and I don’t.

Its amazing how little posting happens when the Sox are in the lead.

Not even a bad pitch.

He’s out of options so something has to be done with him. I’m sure they were just kind of taking time through spring to see where they were at. Once Teel got hurt and was going to miss some time, it then seems like they’ll have shifted to Edgar catching most of the time now. Lee is probably good enough that you can get something through a trade for him so do that and then McGuire helps out until Teel is ready then figure out what to do with him when Teel is back. If that’s the thinking then I understand it.

Does this mean Lee is gone? Has to right?

They attributed it to the fact that he grew some. Its tendonitis not shoulder reconsturction.

I mean what positions are you really trying to fill? Are people really that upset if they start the year with Teel/Quero, Meidroth/Sosa, C. Montgomery, Vargas, Bennentendi, Robert as the guys getting most of the playing time? Im just not sure who would want to play here and fits a position of need? Is Cody Bellinger interested in playing 1b or RF here? Is Schwarber looking to DH here? I mean I get people are upset they arent spending but they arent in a position to rosterwise where they can attract real FA's who require significant contracts. I'd rather watch all the young guys play everyday while they sort out the rotation with who can hack it from Martin, Smith, McDougal, Burke, Cannon, Thorpe, Adams, Schultz, H. Smith, Bush, Vasil.

I was just pointing out that there will most likely be some combination of those guys will fill out the 5 rotation spots. What that looks like, who knows?

Eventually they will be replaced by a combination of Taylor, Smith, Schultz, McDougal, Adams, Bush or Thorpe. Guys that are interesting and could join in the mix in the next couple of years include Oppor, LaCombe, and Larson. Guys that could be backend guys like Shane Murphy.

That Buxton ball should've been caught. Just an awful read and route.
