to Martinez? It was a horrible pitch. Lucky he didn't hit it on the concourse.

Last 4 hits: 107, 109, 109, 107 for exit velocity

You mean one legit pitching prospect, one decent prospect....and then a massive pile of suck? Ever since that "sox have too much pitching depth" post last year, it's been a comedy of errors.

Yeah to say that JD Martinez double wasn't on a "meat pitch" is strange

He's batting practice this inning.

Isn't facing the Orioles anymore. He doesn't have much zip on these pitches.

outfield defense is so awful. Who the else teaches these guys to run right into the fence after the ball?

This is in regards to Sox and Abrams:

What was wrong with that?

He typically throws 95, but Cooper told him to throw slower.

I completely understand why the Sox would focus on Vaughn. Just wish he was performing better in conference. He 's not hitting below .300 in Pac 12 games and is 6th on the team in homers hit in conference. I'm going to trust guys like KLaw though, who generally aren't very high on 1B only prospects.

Not a strike, but man Yoan is racking up the strikeout looking of late.

The way it’s going, he would have missed that also.

He had a stressful night without his best stuff. He was hanging everything the previous inning, but we know by now Ricky and Cooper are reactive.

that was a terrible check swing call

Just want to see Timmy get a hit

Which means he’s probably cleaner now than most

It’s like the college sports fan that makes excuses for their team by saying everyone cheats in recruiting except their own.

That was a nice jump by Cordell

At this point, he does. Eloy was basically a completely different hitter in his stint so far. I didn’t say he’s going to be better long term, but it’s so freaking annoying that every Sox prospect that comes up looks lost to start off in the majors. The fact Eloy has the 3rd worst exit velocity in all of baseball is astonishing.

Cooper and Ricky...wake the hell up. Should have had someone warming up to start the inning.

Dear god, why is he still in

Not gonna lie, he looks better than Eloy at the plate

and too long of a leash and this game is over

Baronitis is a real thing, isn’t it
