Batista done. 5IP 2H 0R 0ER 1bb 5K 64 pitches/43 strikes.

I was right. He just struck out looking at 3 pretty much down the middle and I am not MORE depressed about his chances.

That bloop single depresses me more than if Gonzalez had struck out. Everything that does not work about his swing/approach was evident in that one play.

They're not even doing that. Two deck chairs were broken, so they threw those overboard and moved one to the center.

Woof, that was worse than I anticipated. I am not filled with optimism. I fear they're going to gut the farm system with quick fixes to "win" this winnable division. It was more "we have a good group in baseball ops" than I ever, ever anticipated. I think his belief is that the KW/RH feuding was such a cancer that just cutting it out will save the patient. We shall see.

There it is "Pedro will be back next year."

He's way more deer in the headlights than I expected.

That's not speculation. It's right in the press release.

I respect your opinion, so this is the most optimistic take I've heard that I give any credence too. I hope you are correct.

Veras 2-run shot. 5-1

Popeye 3-run dong.

Nice. Velo?

There were 2 walks. That is not Sox offense.

Robert just makes it look so easy out there.

Don't bunt!

Hall looks so much better with the haircut. Some guys should not grow it out.

Sosa bunted at a pitch over his head. he may never walk.

Grandal can't leave fast enough.

Ump missed that pitch.

They knew no chance anyone grabbed him.

Currently, there is no Executive Vice President, so...

Both challenges in this game were such low stakes. 2 outs, man on first, even if you get it, it doesn't help THAT much.

Last 4 pitches were all balls, he swung at 3 of them.

Sosa just refuses to take the walk.

Man, TA has been robbed on 2 balls hit over 100.
