Why would he sign up for that, and why would the Sox want him for that role? It's pretty simple, you better be able to strike out hitters if you want a chance to succeed in the majors now (for the most part). Pitching to contact is antiquated.

Only a few more times having to watch Nova start as a Sox player, thankfully.

The approach is baffling. Taking fastballs for strikes and swinging at every offspeed pitch out of the zone. It's one of those games that really makes you wonder what the hell the game plan is going into the game.

Also continues to make me think Yolmer is going nowhere

I’ve never seen a team throw away an appeal play like that.

The Pirates effort this weekend has been horrendous.

It’s ridiculous Mendick isn’t playing

It was reviewed and deemed a homer. No clue how

To be fair, when you have as 7 straight losing seasons, a lot of non ex-players have beat the Sox also. It has always been interesting how the Sox do seem to just completely ignore the scouting report that other teams used against those players when they were on the Sox.

Palka showing off a 5 inch vertical there. So sick of seeing him on the tv screen.

That was clearly not a homer

Quite fitting

Just amazing all around. Palka doesn’t just strike out, but he strikes out quickly.

This has been an amazing display of chasing pitches nowhere near the plate by the Sox.

Pitcher threw one strike that inning and struck out the side. Embarrassing

Where’s Brian Anderson when you need him?

Juiced ball is just ridiculous

Nice location on last two fastballs. McCann is just better off setting up down the plate.

Cease missing glove side a crazy amount tonight. He needs to be able to make in-game adjustments at this level.

Cycle watch! Go Yoan

This umpire is freaking horrible

Up .011

I will believe Yolmer is gone when I see it.

They have a shot at Castellanos (even though they seem locked in on a lefty hitter). They never had a prayer to get Cole.

Those are both gone at Charlotte
