Make that 4-5 for Jimenez!! Game tying hit.

And there it is!

Here comes the tank commander!

Jimenez 3-4, 2B, HR, 2 RBI Yrizarri with a good day as well.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 23, 2017 -> 03:43 PM) Tough luck for Moncada so far Yep. The fact he doesn't look overmatched though speaks volumes. Not worried about him.

I'm shocked Ricky didn't have Moncada bunt again.

4 game hit streak for Basabe.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 09:26 PM) From the few AAA games I watched, the umpires kinda sucked. He got a lot of bad calls I would say the times I've watched him, 60% of the time he struck out looking.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 09:19 PM) This might be the worst bullpen in Sox history once Swarzak is traded I guess we'll finally know what Nationals fans go through every game.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 09:15 PM) Surprised there was no steal attempt Why are you surprised? Renteria doesn't like running with guys, even ones with speed. He'd rather call for a bunt to move them over. I said it before, it's embarrassing guys like Anderson only has 7 SBs with his speed. I bet Moncada probably only finishes with like 4 when the season ends.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 09:12 PM) What an eye. Couldn't be more impressed Just so refreshing seeing a young player with patience at the plate. Been long overdue for us. The hits will come for him. Not even worried about that.

GREAT at bat by Moncada.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 08:49 PM) Fake news, he struck out in his 3rd AB after I posted I probably should of said "in the same game".

Melky 4-4.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 08:42 PM) Haha 3 true outcome! I'll take Reds version of Adam Dunn behind the plate with average defense. Why does it seem like every time you go in on a hitting prospect, they hit a homer the next at bat fathom?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 08:33 PM) Bunting is more understandable hitting RH against Alexander. The hits will come eventually if he keeps making solid contact. I must of missed Alexander being some stud reliever.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 08:32 PM) He should flat out be fired. Unless he's doing it to purposely lose. Seriously, I know fans always called for managers to be fired, but this is insane. If u are trying to develop Moncada why would u ask him to bunt? I mean there is absolutely no reason for it. I agree with you 100% and I think many here are too. Even DA who has a sarcasm with posters who want every manager/coach fired, hated the bunt call with Moncada.

Holmberg.. can't even get lefties out. Feel bad for him.

Oh darn again.

Oh darn.

Eloy just pinch hitted. Struck out, but breathe easy guys. Basabe goes yard. Starting to heat up a bit.

6th walk for Pelfrey.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 22, 2017 -> 08:15 PM) You don't like trying to give up an out for the red hot Yolmer? As you said earlier, he has been cold as ice for a while now.

If the sox for whatever reason believe they need to get a Spanish speaking manager for this team in the future with all the young latin talent coming up (and a couple currently here), fine... but unless he changes his philosophy and principles of statics, Renteria can not be managing this team when they're ready to compete.
