Dude, his curve sucks. You might be the last remaining person that thinks he has good stuff. He would be in AAA if he wasn’t a former top prospect.

Nice location on the fastball...one more big out to go

It's funny, but he isn't even trying to frame anything. Seems off-balanced back there. Meanwhile, Giolito's curve continues to be an urban legend.

You forgot how awful he is once runners get on base.

Such a lazy effort by Anderson and pathetic scoop attempt by the DH.

I’m sorry, I don’t buy that winning is the most important thing for JR anymore. His actions with the Sox and Bulls scream out he wants “yes men” around to not trying to change the status quo.

Saw that Mariners loved his changeup and felt he could thrive by throwing it more

Good lord...silly stats. Can he skip AA to not be infected by Baronitis?

Yet they’ve seemingly done nothing with his mechanics to help him. Rather it seems he’s still chopping the ball quite often and the contact is rather soft. Meanwhile we hear about other guys like Hoerner that immediately got their swing adjusted and showed a lot more pop.

I just don’t get what they saw if they were never going to try him at SS. 2-3 WAR 2nd baseman aren’t very special. Taking a guy with the 4th pick that you’re shocked if they get an extra base hit is a bad plan.

Yeah not sure I have seen a team make hitting look so difficult to start the year. Most of their OPS wouldn’t even be good OBP

He’s getting a ton of off days so far

3 year extension for Boylen

Agree completely...wonder who homers first, Blake or Madrigal?

Yep especially since they will be seeing lefties this weekend.

Making hitting seem impossible.

All having delivery issues? Good god....maybe it’s the message and not the execution?

Great inning!

Can’t wait for Hahn’s next interview where he gets all softball questions and acts like everything is going to plan. It sucks, I really thought adding a massage therapist was going to turn the organization around.

Just pray he doesn’t get hurt out there

Just pretend it’s Tilson in LF and Eloy coming up in a week. Thankfully he has a few cheap hits so far to avoid his average cratering while he figures things out

Sure, the Forbes numbers today illustrated why they will. It's just no major changes will come until ownership changes.

and if Jerry is still in charge, it will just be more of the same old. It will be Omar managing and bunting 4 times a game.

Immediately...they should be offering up Colome for Happ now

Almost every fastball he had the last two innings was around 92 mph. It's sad that Ivan Nova is the flamethrower on the starting staff.
