Three double plays so far for the Sox. Time to activate the running game. We need to shake things up quickly.

Where was TA? Doubled up on a popup foul ball to 1B. Robert has been awful with men at 3rd and less than 2 outs, very little contact, either strike out or popup.

Yes. We have become Kings of the solo homer.

Burger took a walk. That is another miracle.

Both Seby and Grandal have cost us runs on passed balls lately. Just lazy stabs at catchable or blockable balls. ?

Right down the middle.

Now he can hit into a double play in the first inning instead of just a one out ground ball to the short stop. Pedro should have called for a hit and run. with TA high Groundball rate.

If I was Grifol I would have every batter tomorrow take at least a pitch. Swinging at everything all is producing is a sporadic solo homer and lots of strike outs. Need to try something different.

Hope so. No adjustments. Can’t manufacture runs. No walks taken. Lots of strike outs. Nothing changes for the better. Team is dead. Grifol is a major bust.

1 3/4 Golden Sombreros will not do the job.

Burger takes two strikes then strikes out. Nobody taking a ball in the 9 th.

Once again swinging at a slider out of the zone. Golden Sombrero tonight for Robert.

Except on popups.

Two errors on the same play,actually a third mental error as well by TA by making a throw when there was no chance to get the runner at first.

Worst throw of the season.

TA walks 3 times every 100 at bats. And Pedro keeps play him lead off….

Robert needs to lay off breaking pitches out of the zone, and make more contact with RISP.

Why is Danks still in a tied game in the 7 th.? It is fair to say though, that the Sox pitiful offense puts a lot of pressure on our pitchers.

Sox can only score on solo homers these last two games. Can’t manufacture runs with everybody swinging out of the zone striking out/ not taking any walks.

TA fly ball rate is 10.6% and his walks rate 2.8%, awful for a lead off hitter.

Apple TV is an entertainment channel not a sports channel.

Robert has 3/4 of the Golden Sombrero so far tonight.

It is 65%, one-off the highest in the majors.

Another miracle. A $72 million solo homer.

He would have walked if he didn’t swing. Need to give some take signs to some of these undisciplined guys.
