Sheets has gotten 2 hanging splitters to kill and missed them both.

I think they brought Mahle back too early. His fastball location has been awful and his velocity is still down about 1 MPH.

ELOY! LETS GOOO

Great start. Seems like Mahle doesn't really have good location so far.

Trayce might be a better baseball player than his brother is a basketball player at the moment.

Kelly did open in the playoffs once last year. I think he gave up a run so it's not like he was good at it.

Just landed on my flight only to see that Kelly did indeed walk the bases loaded.

But did they consider that Kelly usually has trouble throwing strikes?

New manager same bullshit.

Can't wait for Kelly to open the game by walking the bases loaded.

Eloy has actually been pretty good when he's been able to play this year. Maybe you can sell a team to take him on the results alone and maybe they'll just think our training staff sucks (which is true).

Nobody on the team will sniff 25 homers or 100 RBIs this year. How sad is that?

Grandal extra base hits are an absolute rarity this year.

Did Eloy hurt himself again?

Sox hitters have problems with his arm angle.

Graveman for the 7th? Who gets the 8th? Lambert?

Announcers who are just out of the league and played with some of the guys in the games they're broadcasting tend to talk positively about said players. Chris Young did the same thing talking about his ex Boston teammates during the Apple TV broadcasts.

Holy shit look at these hits with RISP

Back in 2020 they were almost a weekly occurrence. He and McCann would both get called for it.

Yaz is back to his catcher's interference bullshit again?

Weirdly enough his season this year reminds me of Yuli Gurriel's last year. Gurriel won the batting title last year, ok power but not really enough to scare anyone. Mediocre defender at 1B. Gurriel is a few years older but if that's where Jose's career is really headed I'm not sure you bring him back next year.

Jose is consistently behind the count when there's guys in scoring position. He goes up there trying to make contact no matter where the pitch is. He gets down in the count and then swings at some terrible breaking pitches cause pitchers know they don't have to go in the zone with him with 2 strikes. His struggles in those situations are all mental and approach related. He's in his own head.

That damn humidor is at it again.

Curse that humidor

Also why the hell didn't the players have a meeting like this earlier. Why wait till there is a month left, you're 2 games under, and 5 games out?
