Can we go rescue Michael Conforto from whatever dimension he was transported to?

Ball was already out of his glove when the contact happened. I guess I don't know how the rule works but Tim was already fuckin that play up before the interference.

This is an absolutely clown show lolololol

AV is doing just fine against rhp so far this season in the sporadic ab's he's seen. And Plesac is not good.

LOLOLOL Ok then

Tying run at the plate in the 7th with Vaughn available? Ya, why wouldn't you keep Haseley in?

Well at least Jake has absolutely murdered the ball today.

Agreed. He didn't have good stuff today and didn't get destroyed which shows some progress for him. Obviously if he looks like this consistently it's a problem but for a day where he clearly didn't have it, it's nice he was able to keep us around at least.

I mean that's fine and I agree overall but that ball hit him in the glove, it's not like he was 20 feet away from it. Luis is kind of in no man's land there and with 0 outs he decided to tag up which isn't the wrong decision there. Leury was the one that forced everything and ran the team into an out.

One of those days/series when even when we hit the ball hard it's an out. 114 mph exit velocity into a line out. Ouch.

Rebuttal: Amazing the Sox scored a run there!

To be fair, Tony never said he was running the bases well, just running them...

LOL

Welp...

Yup and yup.

The lineup needs a lot right now but they need Yoan back in a big way. Especially with Yaz not being Yaz right now, this team has 0 patience.

He'll regress big time shortly. But yes, he's been great so far.

I do understand the worries about Eloy but I'm not quite there yet as I think last year is a bit tough to judge. That said, if he's still looking like ass by the all star break I'll jump aboard the worry train.

And this is obviously true too. It's just insanely frustrating when your team is struggling big time that your manager isn't putting them in the best spots to succeed either.

Unless I'm forgetting or misreading stuff now he did indeed start all 4. And once again, the results of last playoffs(no one is going to forget Leury's homer) is not what we're talking about at all here. It's how Tony views him and these random rest schedules. Anywho the game has started so I'll let it be.

No. He started him over Cesar twice and Engel twice. Can argue starting him over Cesar but the point is he's always going to find a way to get Leury in there. He's not playing Leury because he thinks his starters need rest, he's playing him because he thinks he is a starter.

Leury started all 4 playoff games last year. Tony absolutely cares about Leury's performance and will plan to play him a ton in the playoffs if we get there. He's throwing him out there because he thinks he's much better than he is, not the reason you're giving.

Good way to get his trade value up is to constantly sit him on the bench.

HAHAHAHAHHAHA. Ok, that's just funny.

I'm no Hahn apologist as I have my issues with him for sure but at this point I really do wonder how much his hands are tied with some things.
