Ops in the .430s vs LHP. no way he wouldn't be better than that batting lefty full time

Great slide for Jose

Kind of want to see him leadoff full time and let Yoan bat 2nd. Might result in more fastballs for Yoan.

That was great swing adjustment by Anderson. Had been pounded inside the last at bat and adjusted his swing

Great pitches after visit

He just mumbles that fan support sucks and then walks back to dugout

Just awful command of his fastball this inning. Love that Cooper finally decided to get off his throne.

Nice 3-2 pitch. Pretty obvious Rangers can kill any fastball in the zone right now.

Oh it's significantly worse with Yoan forgetting how to field and Tilson being a clown

This defense seriously sucks. It just kills the pitchers.

Little league bullshit

Shouldn't he get his own statue behind home plate making the out signal that he claimed wasn't an actual out?

Doug Eddings always trying to help us out

Agree with everything you say here

Hate comparing front offices of Cubs and Astros with Hahn and company. Theo and Luhnow. Those two came to their current organizations highly accomplished with Boston/StL. Meanwhile Hahn has been less than impressive during his tenure with the Sox. He's done nothing to illustrate he knows how to build a contender.

https://mobile.twitter.com/keithlaw/status/1013429703145934853 I would trade any prospect in the system for him, including Yoan

Speed of the game seems too fast for him at times. He went from someone who made everything look easy to the opposite.

Seems like a team that needs more than a college catcher

another day, another issue Ricky has with him. In no way am I advocating this, but sending him down to AAA as a wake up call seems like something that Ricky would advocate https://mobile.twitter.com/CST_soxvan/status/1013291159710502912

Value was likely not going to be equal during this version of Sale's contract. The excess service time gained with the 3 young guys was where the surplus WAR was going to come from if things went well. Don't forget that Kopech was expected to take longer to develop than most on here thought when Sox got him. He actually took gigantic steps last season to get closer to than majors than was projected.

This coaching staff, from Renteria all the way down to Capra, was put in place to develop these young guys. They are failing at doing this SO FAR, as not only is the performance been bad basically across the board, but the fundamentals have been awful. Having to bench numerous players due to lack of hustle is embarrassing, as is sitting the major building blocks and calling them into the "principal's office" to tell them they need to sit and watch how others focus during games is not a good sign. These last two games have been inexcusable, as half the team has looked like little leaguers. Tilson legitimately looks like a 10 year old playing outfield for the first time and is nervous when the ball is in the air.

He picked it up for the last ten feet, but it was too late. I will be shocked if he starts tomorrow.

Ricky is not going to like that last play

They won't get anything of substance for Gomez, as they waited far too long to call him up (he's not very good anyways). Burdi won't pitch during the season most likely.

In all the years Viciedo was here, no one ever called him Diane. That made me laugh!
