That was outside! BS.

Benintendi 3B. Too bad he didn't do that with men on base. Tough out for Meidroth, btw.

Vargas can't field 3rd. He should only be at first or DH.

A productive out better than a K. Wish he could get going.

Take away an A.

Should have gotten at least one more. “Run it out, you piece of –! Go on, run it out!” Tauchman fail. At least it's not a shutout.

LUCK! Wait, Why didn't Teel score?

Luis knows how to bunt. Not sure Teel does. Come on, just a single please.

Service medal for Burke covering first and Noda fielding for the out. Fundamental baseball executed. Take the joy where you can.

I thought he was an avg. fielder and below avg. hitter. It's actually reversed. Sometimes he comes thru with the bat, but it seems like ages since he has. 17 mil/yr. UGH.

For comparison to Burke: Fedde 1st: 21 pitches: 5 pitch K looking (Tauchman); single (Meidroth); pop out 3B (Benintendi); SB (Meidroth); BB (Vargas); weak ground out (Teel). They tried but no timely hitting. C'MON SOX!

Burke top of the first: 21 pitches: 7 pitch walk, single, 4 pitch walk, sac fly, 3 pitch K, fly out at the wall. His luck won't last.

Well, not tonight. He was 1-2 with an RBI (uncharacteristically). He gave up a 2-run homer, not that it mattered. Except maybe with the PTSD.

I can't image what the players must feel like. Capra throwing BP looks totally demoralized. Are those supposed to be knuckleballs?

what is this?

Ridiculous. F-ing cricket swing drives in a run. I've gotta put on some Napalm Death to vent.

I can't stand to see them beat themselves. They have to execute fundamental baseball at this level. And you guys are right - the music chairs with positions is detrimental. Vargas should be playing first. Put Sosa at third.

Definitely

Please stop playing Vargas at Third.

Good job Wilson. Eisert no bueno. What happened to Vasil - 71 pitches?

He has heated up. Put him at First and play Baldwin at Third. Get him some ABs.

Pantera Ataque!

Because Vargas can't field 3rd.

I much prefer Vargas at First than Third.

Vasil hit his spot exactly for a clutch swinging strike 3. Make a note for later.
