That was not an easy play and he made it look easy. Maybe he is a natural 3B.

That positioning looking pretty shitty.

You could see it coming. He still hasn't learned the fundamentals of the game he's watching on a daily basis and his asides keep growing. By July we'll be lucky if he spends a minute each inning talking about the game.

I don't mind this catcher rotation. It's nice not carrying Omar and his incredibly awful framing anymore.

Nasty changeup.

Adam Engel has a swing that makes little league coaches cringe. Jesus.

Come on Eloy. Cannot guess slider.

Ball is dead.

lol, nice bunt.

Well, he needs to not foul off cock shots right down the middle to go down 0-2.

To be fair, Stone is right, awful hitting conditions right now.

Eloy is off. Fouling off good pitches to hit.

stfu jason.

Nova with command on that off speed isn't bad.

Nova actually has good stuff, wtf.

It's the OF's job to call off the IF and the IF's job to give way. Man our OF defense is just brutal.

What a fucking awful throw.

The dumbass org keeps making the same fucking mistake with these DH/1B types. I don't fucking get it. Did they really fucking think Palka was going to ever hit enough to be worth a roster spot? It's laughable.

Sit down Palka, jesus.

Yea kinda sucks. I have no idea what else was out there but I'd be shocked if Nova can even produce 120 innings this year of cromulent back end starting.

TAs wife just went into labor so he might go on the paternity list for today and tmr.

Def true. We need better players, especially in the OF.

Or he's a guy with a timing mechanism and a long ass swing that now has a scouting report on him.

That's fine but play better baseball. Guys can be "too comfortable" -- see Robin Ventura. Sloppy fundamentals and execution have plagued Ricky's teams his entire tenure. I'll tell you one thing: it's easier to swap out the manager than the 25 man roster. If the Sox are floundering in July I'd hope and expect that they make a move towards the future and get a real manager in here. I continue to think Girardi would be great for the young guys.

The only way I have of judging if a manager is good in the locker room is if players have good years for him consistently because they are relaxed and yet ready to play That hasn't happened AT ALL and the team constantly looks completely out of sorts -- like we've seen with all the collisions already. For a so called "Latin Whisperer" the latin guys on the team under him haven't performed that well.
