So glad to leave this house of horrors.
-
That wasn't on the ground!
-
Lots of weak grounders today.
-
I will take June again for July-September
-
If Reed can get back anywhere close to where he was you can have him and Vaughn at 1B/DH
-
Gotta protect. He swung at that same pitch on 2-0 too.
-
Two missed strikes this AB

I'm really happy with this season so far. Almost all of the young guys we expect to perform are performing (except Lopez). Giolito looks like an ace. The bullpen has been solid. The stopgap players have been garbage but who cares? They're hovering around .500 after losing 100 games last year and the starting pitching has been mostly terrible.

I think some of you need anger management courses.
-
Oh I'm definitely aware. It's just crazy. I'm not sure even the Astros have this kind of depth.
-
That team is riddled with injuries and just optioned a guy with an .855 OPS.
-
Well I'm a little behind.
-
Abreu is just swinging at everything. It's like he's guessing.
-
I agree with Jason here. It wasn't intentional but this is what you do to yourself when you play beanball.
-
That wasn't even a terrible pitch. Vlad Jr is just gonna be a monster.
-
See? Bunt didn't work.
-
Well that's the first time I've ever seen that
-
Please swing at strikes.
-
That would be my hope. I thought Shingo and Tadahito would help us establish an NPB pipeline but it seems most of them only want to play on the west coast. Or their arms fall off soon after they get here. It also doesn't seem like hitters make the jump at all anymore (besides Ohtani).

Kikuchi has solid stuff. He's tough to hit.
-
Delmon Young was a league average hitter for his career. If Robert does that but with more power he's an above average hitter who plays great defense. Sounds good to me!
-
The back action on his delivery reminds me a little of Jon Garland
-
He's a troll. just ignore him.

Yeah, this is a problem but how they got here isn't bad. They built their team well, it got too expensive so now they need to retool. The Red Sox are easily capable of doing this so I don't think they're too worried.
