QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 09:03 PM) Who bats for the pitcher? Latos is best hitting pitcher on team

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 08:57 PM) Are 2 out runners worse than 1 or 0 out runners? I don't think they are. True, just that bullpen has really struggled getting the 3rd out for the last month or so.

2 out runner allowed again

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 08:52 PM) Outside of Dio, the bench is dried up right? Albers the only other pensmen? Purke

That rally died quick. 0-15 with anyone on base today.

Batting averages for the top of the order guys are just free falling. Didn't realize Melky was down to .275 also.

Melky bunting Actually would love a hit and run here

QUOTE (Chris Sale @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 08:38 PM) That ball one call was maybe the worst individual pitch call I've seen this year. Either way, gotta get Loney out. https://twitter.com/MetsUmp/status/738106786952155136

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 09:35 PM) Double switch maybe? 1 spot higher in the lineup, shouldn't make a difference really

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 09:32 PM) He must be hurt or they messed up the double switch due to Avi being up sooner.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 08:30 PM) We have Abreu for what, 2 seasons after this one? 3

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 09:29 PM) You keep calling it and you're right, his bat is ridiculously slow. Can't touch a FB Put him 7th in the order until he wakes up this season.

He's just killing this offense. They're just overpowering him with fastballs.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 08:24 PM) A lot of talk about Abreu's season, but Eaton's been terrible for awhile now, too. If those two continue to not hit, they're in trouble. And you can't have them 1-2 in the order

That was quick

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 07:50 PM) His exit velocity on line drives and flyballs is down 1 MPH from last year but is still well above league average (93 mph), and he's 5th in the league in average flyball distance, I don't think bat speed is the issue. That's good to hear as well. Is it just his approach is flawed and he's not trying to pull the ball enough?

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 07:48 PM) Loney single... Nothing can be easy. Another fastball when ahead in the count that resulted in a bad outcome.

QUOTE (Coach @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 08:42 PM) You might want to reword what you wrote. Otherwise, it does not make sense. How could you never watch him and think he is unprepared? Meaning I've never seen him while watching him look unprepared.

Rollins trying to hit fastballs batting lefty is funny.

No problem with what Eaton said. He's the one playing and has been successful doing things his way. I've never watched him and thought he was unprepared for a certain pitcher/hitter.

Nice job by Duke!

Avila 3-21 with 11K, 2 RBI with RISP

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 07:21 PM) I knew Eaton was slumping, but man have his numbers dropped. He's almost off the first page of the fWAR leaderboard

QUOTE (harkness @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 07:20 PM) just can't get clutch hits... always looks like we are up there sweating and no the pitcher. Tired of the mentality. You get a 3-1 fastball over the plate where he likes it and he takes.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 07:20 PM) Avila just not doing anything batting. Think Tigers will take him back, as McCann has been awful.
