This is just bad baseball.

You need soft hands to frame. His are a calloused.

Mitchell and ness used to sell it, but I don’t think they’re making them anymore. I realize this is very unhelpful.

I have that exact jersey

Little joke there

Hendricks is dog shit

Too bad about Hamilton. We can run wild on this team.

Jordan Romano is a really cool kid. I hope I don’t have to be mad at him.

I like the name AV, but may I suggest A/V? Sure it’s annoying to type, but he looks like a A/V club kinda guy. A little teasing in the name.

These games for me are like Cubs games for you guys. I’ve already got 29 unanswered texts in the last 5 minutes.

My man Marshall with the perfect pickoff throw. Can’t teach that. God given.

Marshall.. for what it’s worth. His shit moves A LOT

No one warming up for Toronto dolis now

I have a feeling we win this game. No idea why.

Yas putting on a clinic

Unreal. No game awareness.

They should really keep him in case of the 11th

Just so, so happy for that young man.

Yas is good.

In late August? What are the lottery numbers?

One day earlier. July 30. And no waiver deals afterwards anymore either.

Yeah, hard to say. So much can happen. An extra bullpen arm would be a nice add. I expect they’ll target someone like grossman or peralta, too. Just a guess I have no inside info with the Sox. with Vaughn, I’m not sure have a big enough long-term hole that would justify dealing him.

It’s a good problem to have for sure. But by the time we need to worry about it, who knows. The way things are going Yas will be in cf.

I wonder if it’s a result (on the batting side) of a patient lineup, which we are for once. Lots of close pitches taken leaves a greater opportunity for missed calls. The teams getting hosed the most are all pretty patient.

Chitownsportsfan made a good point that he missed a couple mistakes. Didn’t hit anything hard. I would add that most of the balls weren’t really competitive pitches either. I’m rooting for the kid and think it’s more of a rookie slump than condemnation of his talent, but it wasn’t a great showing. To me he looked, for the first time I noticed anyways, exasperated. Obviously I have no idea what’s going on in his head, but I think a day or two might do some good. If not, fingers crossed he crushes it
