OK, yet ANOTHER situation with RISP. And fking AV is up AGAIN.

With starting pitching as our strength, we seriously find a need to carry 9 guys in the 'pen. Meanwhile, the bench is a whole 3 players, one of which is sitting out hurt.

Offense is fine, I'm just glad we're carrying 9 bullpen arms!

Goodness....

Couple of all stars behind the plate, on the roster right now.

Nice play there...

0-3, 5 LOB so far with RISP.

So bad in that situation, over and over. But hey, Mendick is up!

Uh, great 'strike' call there...

Getting every opportunity against this guy, with the walks. AV up yet again, with RISP.

How in the world did he miss that, 3-1?

Love the old baby blue unis, but they aren't doing Manoah any favors on camera.

Friday: "Tim has a leg thing still, we're going to give him another week of rest. Luckily we have Danny Mendick here, to fill in at short."

Yeah, I'm not of the opinion that bringing Hernandez back, is the best idea, just figuring on what the FO will do. His WAR has been on a steady decline for a while now, and it is hard to know what player he is going to be: the one with low AVG, med-high power, or the one with med AVG, no power.

6 mil for even a 1 WAR second baseman, is almost automatically going to be an option exercised.

Yeah, there is a '22 Club option for Leury, almost guarantee he is back.

Pretty sure being a shitty offense is bad luck on the road.

100%. No way I see him being a starter. We drafted basically a bullpen guy, which is fine, if he has his 2020 stuff. Right now....

Thanks again, for punting the series. Definitely not important games, am I right? More important to be the road team in the postseason.

I'm just so glad we're carrying 9 guys in the bullpen. Seems like a great idea, when the bench is non-existent. And like that, phoned this one in.

Definitely doesn't break it down, in terms of how many outs, but you can see enough of the trend overall, with RISP and Vaughn.

2 strikes to Phillips now, both balls. Great zone so far.

So, what are we looking for here at the plate, boys? Swinging at the slider, taking the fastball.

Games played since being on the Sox Roster: Hernandez = EVERY GAME And he LOOKS like he needs a day off, too.

Yeah, ok TLR. So then explain why your second baseman hasn't had a day off in a month?
