Big display of warning track power. I guess the wind is not blowing out tonight.

Love to watch those awesome bat drops.

I don’t think he wants to run into Goodwin which is kind of a wild horse out there.

Lynn on IL, Mendick back
Would be a good idea to go on a quick diet, and take some weight off that knee.

Have we ever had a player with as much raw talent as Luis Robert?
They don’t call him La Pantera for nothing. He is a big cat.

No, if you don’t want to get into TLR doghouse.

Feast or famine again, but we will take it.

You are right. My bad.

He has a bionic hip now?

Move Leury to the outfield and Mendick to SS? Get Eloy out.

Stoney said we are second in MLB in ground ball hitting rate, and looked like near the top in hitting into double plays. Why do we not adjust to this stat, and hit and run or steal in potential DP situations with one of our faster runners. Results cannot be worse than hitting into DP over and over.

One of the very few 5 tool players in the bigs.

Agree. This is a business. Fans come to the park and spend their hard money, to see a major league lineup. They don’t want to see games punted. In this game, they don’t want to lose a series to the Cubs. That is a big downer. Rest only one of the stars at a time, if you need to, but not two or more.

At least Robert is in the lineup. He has been our best position player lately.

Except the double play ingredient.

He should have gone back to the plate right away as it was clear Lynn was getting to the ball. He stood motionless in no man’s land. Not productive.

Pretty please, hit and run more often with Abreu at the plate.

Hate giving up homers on 0-2 pitch counts.

Not a great game from Zabala. The brain fart of not covering home on the bunt; hit into double play and bad game calls.

Don’t let him beat us tomorrow.

They felt that the ball was flying out so they were pulling and hitting for the fences. If Wisdom could hit two dingers and Ortega a grand slam, we should be hitting a few. Nobody was looking for a walk.

Sad part was that we didn’t really need another closer, just stay pat and keep cheaper, younger Heuer and contact hitter first rounder Madrigal. Or use those resources to get a good corner outfielder that we really needed.

Would like to see some hit and runs to try staying away from double plays, particularly from Abreu and Vaughn. DPs have been rally killers for the Sox this season.
