hey grandal decided to move!

filthy pitch, wow.

a bad habit.

he's def in his own head at this point.

come on TA, keep ur head in the game.

abreu with a pathetic AB.

yup.

jesus how does he not rip that pitch?

come on abreu.

if grandal is going to walk so much move him up to 2 and put Yoan 3rd.

WOW! HE GOT SLIDER AND HE HURT IT!

totally man I don't see why someone is just telling him in the on deck circle or pre game to consider not swinging until he has a strike on him.

ah fuck good pitch.

mendick is up there hacking and slashing, I love it.

not even that good of a breaking ball after looking at a fastball and fouling one off meekly. wtf.

mazara's bat is slower than shit.

oh gimme a break stoney that was a flat meatball.

lol Gio has it working.

they were pretty good sliders tbf.

What is going on with the audio on this broadcast, jesus.

Well James' bat, at least against LHP, is legit imo. His swing and approach are just better now. He proved in September last year he wasn't going to let himself just fall into his old bad habits again. He's continued to shorten his swing and take a patient approach this year. It's too bad because it looks like another self scouting failure by Chicago. They should have locked him for a few years on a team friendly deal, and he probably would have taken a bit of a discount for a 3 year deal last offseason.

The Sox have done James wrong. There's no way he's a) content right now and b) going to re-sign here unless we beat everybody else by 20%, which isn't happening. We had some concerns that Renteria wouldn't be able to properly use what is on paper a poorly balanced roster and they are panning out.

I like Hahn but man he can spin.

I mean if he's going to bat 8th in a "stacked lineup" it kinda calls into question trading for an all offense (in theory, in practice: yikes) RF. Anyways, go Sox!

Grandal and Robert should be switched but whatever, keep batting arguably our best player right now 7th. Also, the big trade acquisition (half assed one) batting 8th, our stud RF, just cracks me up. So many Hahn half measures in RF man.
