What was Tim doing on that cutoff?

Don't blow this one now please.

Rosario just Gavin'd. Sheets'd?

Change woulda been good there.

Sox had trouble with this guy's fastball.

Moncada missed a fastball right down the middle

Wow look you don't swing at everything and you're in a 3-1 count

Swing at every first pitch

Some BABIP luck right now

OK MAYBE I see why Kelly instead of Tepera...

This ump sucks

Can't play a clean game against divisional opponents

Good luck finding another woman who wants you when you're sporting an 18 wRC+

Plesac is wild enough tonight where if the Sox didn't swing at the first two pitches in every at bat they'd probably have a few more walks tonight.

Moncada plus Grandal and Pollock getting on track should help there. Vaughn before injury was also hitting righties well. I think if you can get everyone back consistently they'll start hitting righties much better. We'll see if that's enough for top tier right handed starters in the post season.

You over-rely on those guys when 1/3 - 1/2 of your lineup can't produce. You can also pitch around those guys, and when they're already aggressive and already trying to do too much...

Too many black holes right now. Mendick, Leury, Sheets, Burger, Harrison and McGuire taking up 3-5 lineup spots every day. Get Moncada and Vaughn back and you're back to hopefully only 1 bad hitter per day.

It's ok. I forgive you

They're not though. The Sox are 27th. The Blue Jays and Astros are 21st and 22nd right now. I guess those teams are gonna be bottom 10 in offense too. The Guardians are 4th, and they clearly have a top 5 offense in baseball and won't regress at all as the year goes on, with such perennial all-stars as Owen Miller, Andres Gimenez, Steven Kwan and Josh Naylor. All 4 of those will easily finish the year with their current OBP range of .360-.400+.

Got to get this offense going, but it's nice they can win these close games. Pitching has been outstanding almost every game.

Scraped out another win!

The bottom of this lineup is so, so bad.

We have so many automatic outs right now.

Burger completely off right now.

Engel hit on the toe, 2 on 0 out
