JR should have given a rain check to those attending.

Romo is still in the race with Quero and Maldonado, for the worst hitting Sox catcher of the Century.

Romo batting avg is up to .132.!!

Feast or famine lately.

He is an excellent mop up pitcher/ low leverage situations.

With this catcher disaster in our hands, maybe the Sox would have been better off drafting first the Georgia Tech catcher Lackey. We need more immediate help.

If Quero would have been able to tag with two hands, he would have been able to hold on to the ball, and the runner would have been out

We could have used Jacob Gonzalez nowadays.

Need for the Sox to start hitting homers again.

Burke is our best chance of a stopper. Sending Siranthony to the IL would also help.

I would say that now Seranthony should be relegated to mop up duty,a very expensive mop up pitcher though.

Romo batting avg. Is down to .127, straddling the Maldonado line. Shades of Martin M.. not good memories.

Agree. It was a high leverage situation for Dominguez, for which he has not been good at.

And I would add Siranthony walking two including one with the bases loaded, during the Astros 8 run inning. Sox playing with a man short with Romo as an automatic out, and not hitting any homers did not help either. One of the worst games of the year. Let’s get them tomorrow.

At least an ankle injury is not as bad than an Achilles tear, which would have pulled him out for the season and more.

And have better defense and challenges than what we have with Quero and Romo.

Can’t wait. Quero did not look good tonight. Bad challenge and the dropped pop up to begin with.

Mune did hit 9 home runs in the HR Derby and pocketed some spending money…

Should Will consider taking Colson out of the clean up spot? He is striking out too much swinging at pitches out of the zone.

Should take a look at this option. Difficult to be worse than Romo and Quero.

Better start looking at our best catching alternative in the minors or get ready for a trade deadline acquisition. We can not win the division with the Romo/Quero catching combo. And playing for Italy in the WBC when he got hurt.

What is the reason that he is batting 8 th. With highest batting average in the team, and some guys hitting ahead of him having problems with RISP?

In order to avoid a losing streak of more than 3 games, we need a stopper. We have a better chance now that Burke is pitching so well.

Romo’s problems go beyond his horrible hitting, but also terrible challenges and bad defense particularly stopping balls on the dirt.

Competing with Akin Law.
