Yep, he still is a massive bust. Send him down please and have him see a psychologist. He walks one guy and it all blows up on him again.

Fastball at 91 out of the stretch

No doubt there's been some awful ones, but this one wasn't.

His curve seems way better today.

That pitch looked a lot closer than that live. Second strike was the bad call. Last pitch seemed like type of pitch they normally call a strike. He needs to learn to protect though and stop letting 50/50 calls get decided against him.

Biggest challenge for the rebuild has always been the org's inability to develop raw talent into MLB caliber hitters. Until they prove they can do that, there is pretty big concern.

Yep this being patient stuff isn't working. He just needs to swing at every fastball he gets. It's not like he's hit an offspeed pitch in over a month.

Swing the freaking bat. What a headcase

In Heyman's weekly notes, he's made a few comments about how poorly the Sox are playing in terms of fundamentals. Wonder if this is part of why he mentioned the Girardi speculation.

You didn't hustle in trying to find your old post....you're benched

Yep using 3 solid relievers and then having Minaya throw almost 50 pitches doesn't seem like a sound game plan. Just hope everyone is healthy.

Don't forget, he made two substitutions for pinch runners and then bunted, so he was still playing for one run (tie game). If they had tied it in 8th, he was then down two of his more dangerous hitters.

And is Trayce really that much faster than Palka? Palka is slow in the field but isn't as slow as you would think on the bases. Trayce isn't exactly Engel or Timmy running, and it was obvious when he had no shot going to 3rd on a soft single to RF.

Most overlooked story of the year has been Heyman saying he had "informed speculation" that Girardi would be their next manager.

Don't get your hopes up. If they fire him and hire someone legit, they will actually get criticism if they don't play well.

Just like he had Anderson and Moncada come into his office yesterday and tell them they need to focus more, maybe Hahn should do that with him.

Nice 2 game losing streak for RR....thank god he's a good cook

Give him rest of this year and then see who's available.

Gross, does this mean he's not making All Star Game?

When a manager blames his long man in the bullpen for not getting out the second best hitter in baseball with an open base in the 7th inning, you have to wonder about the leadership.

Hard contact, yet another 0-4 game for him. I would move him out of leadoff spot, as maybe he will be more aggressive

Yoan has looked bad in two at bats vs Greene this year. Abreu has two double plays off of him also I believe. How about a homer, single and then double?

Gotta wonder if Frye is healthy.

Yesterday was horrible too, but he threw Volstad under the bus instead of taking blame.

Yep, Cubs just wanted a babysitter for Castro and Rizzo
