Look at Ray Ray Run

Bumm throws a bb after the slider there to shut me up. Love it. 8 grounders in a row for AB. Get that power sinker working! Guy should throw that all the time. When he's commanding it it's just devastating. Grounder after grounder.

I believe that's 7 straight ground balls from Bummer? That's great to see.

Yup, this is spot on. Release from same slot and have huge spin rates and you can't identify the seams so you're basically just playing guess hitter all night. Guess wrong and you're screwed.

Whenever Aaron Bummer throws that slider his sinker is never, ever, ever, close to the zone right afterwards. I have said this ad naseum. I have no idea why he throws it it so much.

once he took first pitch fastball he was in trouble. thought he was gonna work himself deeper into the count though. he had a nice second ab approach. haven't been as confident in a hitter in a long time than I am in vaughn. kid is just different.

really surprised he chased the slider there after laying off the one before. i was wrong about that for sure. like he learned from one but didn't think bieber would double him up again lol

Yaz loves the high fastball.

I don't judge hitters based on getting lucky and getting hits to drive in runs. Sequencing of your hits is lucky for 95% of hitters. There are some who clearly excel there, eaton's career shows he isn't one of those guys. Eaton wRC+ is 112. On the Sox that's 7th best; no where near one of the "best."

I'm OK with the MVP starting a little slow in April - kind of expected it. Still had some big hits so I'll take it. Eaton starting like this is just the continuation of a trend from last year and the time before. It's not great. Fine if he wants to hit 8th, but hitting 2nd it's a problem.

Why? His obp is like 315 and his avg is like 235 hitting 2nd. He had a nice start and had some hits to drive in runs. He's also been trash as a whole now

I respect you here for trying

Eaton is just trash

With how much he adjusts his cup, Tim better hope he never wears boxers in front of a dish washer.

Tim absolutely knew he was going off speed first pitch after the fastball diet. Guy is the GOAT

? Was it obvious last year when he was the best or second best catcher in baseball? Guy is banged up and suffering from some bad luck too. It happens

I want to agree with you badly, but I kind of feel like dallas found his command last inning Edit: I swear I wrote this before the inning started lol

Sox score 6+ tonight. Seeing it well second time through, at least 1 more off Bieber. Grab 2 late vs the pen.

2-3 2 runs, 1 rbi seems OK to me. Tim spits on sliders out of the zone. Luis has adjusted well vs them but can still scuffle at times sure. I think that's the optimal lineup but it doesn't mean much

Not sure anyone told the players yet, but soxtalk has called the game over so I have no ideas why the sox keep trying to score and stuff.

I'd rather they leave yoan 3, elite run producer profile, and throw luis up in the 2 spot permanently

Eaton going back to being Eaton after a nice start, batting avg under 240 and obp under 320. He's just not good anymore

Tim going to start shooting that outside fastball for rips all day now. That's why he's the guy

Let the overreaction begin!

Good news is that Jack has just put Lucas back in the rotation and took dallas out, so gio no longer needs to go to the bullpen.

He's been great and stolen a few strikes already tonight.
