Holy crap. When was the last time this happened?

I would feel better about Dallas if his numbers didn't do a complete 180 after the sticky stuff crack down. He hasn't shown his old control since that point. He isn't a guy who can pitch over control. Control is a 100% requirement with his kind of stuff.

This is the longer version. I love this.

This was a great one to steal, and let there be no doubt, we stole that one. Also guys, I am starting to think this Robert guy might be a pretty good signing.

I did like Eloy's plan to take out Brash.

Hopefully he can keep that pitch count down to save a pitcher or two today.

The one time he gets a first pitch strike...`

That slider is TIGHT. I can see how you can't tell that and a fastball apart.

They just about Eloy'd each other out there on that on.

I don't like the working from behind, but hopefully it was a bit of nerves or the extra long pre-game.

That would be the most 2022 thing ever.

So why else do you have a long conversation with Vaughn AND a long conversation with your coaches over your line up? And yes, I am mad that the Sox are not sending their best players out there more often.

I did not. Honestly, I kind of gave up. It was kind of silly for me to chase them around.

Nice work inventing more things to be mad at. Literally the entire actual off season was spent with the Sox chasing SP, and the fans wanting SP. It even appears that they are still chasing SPs.

There is no need for reassurances and conferences if the hot hitting young player isn't getting buried in platoon opportunities, nor is there a need for a 15 to 20 minute "discussion" with the coaching staff if they didn't have an issue with it either. The obvious answer is obvious.

This great to hear.

Why else would you need to explain to Vaughn why he was benched, and that it would take a 15 to 20 minute debate to hash out with the coaching staff? Both times righties have started, Vaughn has been benched for Sheets. It seems really obvious to me that Vaughn being benched is the central issue here, otherwise there wouldn't be a debate or sit down needed.
