Even with his recent hot streak he is still at a .660 OPS for the second half.

Abreu has no chance

He is a good defensive CF nobody can seriously argue this.

And now Engel looks like Eloy out there

Skole looked like Abreu there. ?

I‘d be hesitant to give up on Madrigal, but if you get a young controllable TOR starter, I wouldn‘t be opposed to it. Signing Castellanos and a stop gap RF like Dickerson or Puig would also help a ton. Not a fan of Ozuna, I have a feeling he‘d completely bomb here.

http://www.espn.com/mlb/stats/team/_/stat/batting/sort/homeRuns/order/true The fact that the Giants and the Sox have hit roughly the same amount of homers is just baffling. That is just bad.

To be fair Jay has hit into some tough luck today.

Goins, Jay and Skole are just wasting everyone’s time. Would rather see Cordell, Mendick and Yermin.

The Sox preaching about opposite field hitting is really antiquated. Can’t remember the last time someone hit one out by pulling an inside fastball.

Getting mad about Yolmer is like getting mad at the weather. What’s the point, he is just a placeholder. Kudos to him though for having an alarming K-rate for a guy with three homers this season.

The fact that Skole was hitting 6th in Charlotte and has been batting cleanup at the big league level is just comical.

My optimism on McCann isn‘t based entirely on the results of his first half, but on the fact that he made tangible adjustments in the batters box. He isn’t using his lower half anymore which I attribute to being played into the ground.

Eh, if you look at catcher production league wide you can do just fine with a .720ish OPS catcher.Grandal would be a nice addition though.

I think not having McCann play 150 games would help. I think upgrading the catcher position starts by signing a competent back up that can be relied on for 65ish games. RF/DH/1B are more pressing needs.

Giolito dealing today. I agree with fathom though *gasps*, Sox lack at least three bats with + power. Robert should be one of them, but the fact that they are hitting so few home runs is embarrassing.

Get bent out of shape about the most inconsequential things, brehs. ?

Players care, it's a prestigious thing to win as a part of baseball tradition, to argue against that is absolutely insane.

#FreeYermin

lol, the batting title is not about player evaluation. It is about the accomplishment.

Yermin would have just chilled out at first base and ate some sunflower seeds, just saying...

Great approach by Tim

Lucas sitting at 95mph in the first, just to preemptively mitigate the panic when he throws a fastball at 93mph this game.

I know, I am just saying that Adam Dunn shouldn’t be used as a cautionary tale. He was putting up HOF caliber numbers during his prime.

McCann is also playing every day, dude needs a rest.
