You thought they’d be lucky to win 55 games? Come on now

Honestly, you might want to take a season off.

you bench moncada for dogging it?  fucking really?  wow.

If that's why he's out...I'm ok with that.

what a fucking joke ricky is.

Insane to have him start this inning

I have zero problem with it.  That's Renteria's job.

It really wasn't that bad. Seen way worse from others on the team.

Rock bottom would be if all the young players start to tune out Renteria...we’re not there yet.

He would've been safe had he not slowed down.

Bad timing for a Sox commercial about pride and leaving it all out on the field 

Let all these guys play in minors all year, no sense wasting MLB time this year till September call ups.

Is the magic date for Kopech known?

You can’t have it both ways. Everyone rails on Ricky for not having these guys prepared, but If Yoan was dogging it? (I’m not watching) then bench his ass. 

I never like it.  especially in this case.  fucking kid is 22, let him learn while PLAYING.   

you want to single someone out, how about Avi?  Bench Avi for that boneheaded mistake earlier.  Thing is, the whole team sucks.

 

And when the whole team looks like this fucking bad, rebuilding or not, that's on the manager.

anyways this has to be rock bottom.

I'd be more upset if he wasn't scolded for dogging it.

I don’t think Moncada was benched for not hustling.  He might be hurt.

Agreed.  If he Soriano'd that or something and wasn't punished, I'd be a little annoyed.

LOL no. And I can't wait until he's declared a bust when he gives up 8 runs in his 10th start while having no control that day.

April 1, 2019, hopefully. What the f*** is the point otherwise

Actually, benching him is allowing him to learn while playing...

But then why does Avi get away with assuming Altuve won’t tag?

Because he’s already so fragile mentally it might tip him over the edge?

Has Anderson ever been benched for similar reasons?

I seriously doubt the FO thought it would be this bad.  In a normal organization, jobs would be on the line, including the vaunted pitching coach, who, despite his rep.,  has rarely fielded a top staff despite some top talent.

Merkin says managers decision

Agreed.  This isn't football.  Yoan has 162 games to play and learn.  

Is he hurt?

Just now, Tony said:

Did they mention he got benched on the broadcast? 

twitter saw him crying in the dugout.

Speculated that and showed video of him. Really didn't look too bad
