Glad to see they're fighting back

Vaughn: .273/.333/.424 - .758 OPS Elko: can't find milb splits, but he stunk after being sent back down for a bit and had been turning it back on lately Montgomery: Stunk, went down to Arizona to get fixed, came back and was hammering the ball, had a couple bad games after that, then got hurt (hit by a pitch on his knee)

Him not getting the call over Elko here is very telling

Hays is on the IL, so we wouldn't have avoided the injury bug with him, either. Thank goodness Palacios shouldn't be playing very much anymore.

I'm on the "Blame Hahn/KW/JR (blame pending for Getz)" bandwagon.

Tauchman with that hefty 192 OPS+ and 0.8 bWAR in only 14 games. Slater not far behind with 0.4 WAR and a 155 OPS+ in 17 games. I'm sure if they weren't injured and had more at-bats those numbers would normalize a bit, but so far 1.2 bWAR in 31 games for an outfield platoon is LIGHT YEARS better than what we had before, injuries or not.

Frankly, I'm encouraged to even see players doing well consistently in the minors. We barely even had that for decades.

I think we all do, especially on the hitting side. That may be changing, but we'll see.

Leasure is painful to watch

I like Slater Also this Tigers reliever sucks

Meidroth not much of a baserunner

Taylor still sucks. But that was NICE.

Yay a run

Pitchers struggle throwing to second from the mound so much

We all used to complain about the lack of high end internally developed prospects all the time. They were stuck in 2005 for 18 years.

If you still think Hahn is blameless in this debacle at this point...

I'd be fine with a Quero/Teel swap right now. Yeah, you'd like to let Quero work through adversity, but I don't think he's learning anything right now looking like this.

The worst pitching performance was yesterday, and that game was still easily winnable.

Woof Quero

Morton has been pretty solid since an absolutely atrocious start, but it's not like they shouldn't be able to put a couple runs up, or at least have better at-bats Most of the curve balls so far haven't been strikes. They should be hunting fastballs instead, but they decided to wave at curveballs out of the zone and be way late on fastballs instead.

So far Sox making a guy with a 7 ERA look like an ace

The Sox really look like they have no shot in this series. Lots of bad at-bats and weak contact.

Sox have a pretty bad plan of attack so far.

Brewers outright Payamps - he's been good basically every year before this year. Might be worth a flyer for the Sox.

Just score 9 runs a game and you'll win a lot more. Simple.
