Having a Hall of Fame manager is great

Good thing the Sox ride their starters every game with more resources devoted to their bullpen than any team in baseball

Letting Lance bat here when he's likely only going to pitch 1 more inning anyway doesn't make a lot of sense.

I'm shocked when pitchers throw him anything that isn't a fastball in off the plate right now. This has got to be the first time since he broke out where he's had 1 issue pitchers can attack like this.

Seems like the Sox have been more aggressively positioning guys up the middle lately which is nice to see

It's wild how effective throwing a fastball directly down the middle is for Lance vs pretty much any other pitcher in baseball

That 2 seamer from Lance o my god

It didn't seem like anyone even asked about that in the post game Zoom which is bizarre

Given the construction of this roster, I'd much rather see Vaughn in the OF. He's a significantly more valuable player if he can handle LF/RF at passable effectiveness like we've seen so far.

I'll never understand the people in favor of pitchers hitting

Now we're seeing why Hendriks had been afraid of throwing it in the zone to Seby The Hitter

How is Seby ever going to get a hit if he's getting this garbage zone called on him lol

Good luck trying to hit if every pitch within 5 inches of the corners is a strike

Can't wait for an automated strike zone. What a joke

That pitch wasn't even remotely close to being a strike

TA looks so uncomfortable trying to hit anything on his hands

This offense is so bleak right now

Hopefully Lance is also getting pitches 3 inches off the outside corner then

Also sliders low and away... And change ups... He's chasing literally everything, He looks so lost.

Eloy's swinging at like 54% of pitches out of the zone. His approach is a total mess right now.

Engel running to avoid a possible double play here would be nice

I read today the Sox average nearly a full run per game more when Yas is in the lineup than when he's not. Something like 5.2 with & 4.3 without. The Sox need him back & healthy desperately.

His hard hit rates in July & August are both elite. I think from the left side he's hitting into tough luck, from the right side I don't know what's going on. He can't generate any bat speed hitting right handed right now.

Seeing Bryant go for a package the Sox 100% could have matched is just painful
