We got a call there.

Oh no, Angel Hernandez is in this?

427 foot homer with a 24 degree launch angle is impressive.

The power is there, it's the approach that's hurting him since the hot start.

Another 3-0 homer!

Broadcast is showing how terrible the O's rotation is...watch the offense not do much against them.

Cease doesn't have any oomph on his fastball tonight. It might be why he's throwing a lot of off-speed.

Why are we not jumping on this guy's fastball? People hit .450 off it.

Yoan is being super passive the last 2 games.

Ayy Yaz got a hit

Now we definitely aren't gonna be able to trade for him.

Way to pitch out of it.

Tarp is on, I don't think this will start on time.

I've always thought the Sox have been behind the times in terms of sabermetrics. I thought we had made some progress last year, but now we're back in the stone age in terms of shifting and sac bunts.

No she passed away in 2014. One of her daughters works at the park still, IIRC.

Yup that's a completely different scenario. In a situation with less than 2 outs, the runner can score regardless if the runner at 1st reaches or not. But with 2 outs, the runner must beat the force play at 1st for the run to score.

Not to mention he just got an off day yesterday.

He's gonna be out 3 to 7 games according to Fegan.

No I believe if Baez is out before he touches first, there is no run at home.

Tim being out again certainly isn't good news.

If you watch the Jomboy video on it, it's pretty clear Javy didn't know the rules either. He's still signaling safe that the runner scored at home when that won't matter if he gets tagged out or thrown out at 1st. If the 2nd baseman was actually at 1st instead of watching the disaster unravel, the run wouldn't have scored.

It's the same logic as running out of the base path really. You're really delaying the inevitable or trying to run away from the play. But this play is completely on the Pirates. It's 2 outs, all you had to do was step on 1st. The runner doesn't even score if you get the force out.

All this talk about not enough offense and moving the mound back...but the easiest solution really is to make sure guys don't get crazy spin rates from whatever foreign substance they're using.

They're gonna play 2 double headers in the span of 3 days then. That's gonna suck.

We only sac bunted once last year?
