how do you get jammed on that?  as a mlb hitter?  Come on TA.  Swing the fucking bat like you mean it.

The walks have been great, but I also feel like it's causing him to be far less aggressive in his swings. His average is currently free falling

Don’t follow the Sox on twitter and Merkin just now tweeted it, my bad

Rodon to pitch for charlotte next

Lopez has great stuff today

Some of you guys hate Benetti but this broadcast is awful. It’s not fun and it’s extremely awkward. Hawk says delusional s*** all game long and Stone goes mute as soon as Hawk says it

I think there's an analogy to pitchers who can throw strikes and not hit spots. Tim is getting better at identifying strikes from non-strikes, I think, but he's not doing a good job identifying good pitches to hit from non-good pitches to hit. Hopefully he's just in a bit of a funk where his decision-making is a little out of whack.

At times, it seems he's trying so hard to walk that he's passing on good pitches to hit or swinging far too late

Might be breaking out of that weird pattern

The Rangers line up is pathetic. 

6 swings and misses in 29 pitches for Lopez. That might be more swings and misses than he generated in his entire previous start.

He hit that to the moon

wellllllyyyy

These righty swings by Yoan are really bad. I don't see how he wouldn't be more effective batting lefty.

Lol at Hawk talking about getting too much into analytics. Guy is an idiot. 

Thank God Yolmer struck out. I didn't want to hear another anti sabremetric rant from this kook. 

I'm sick of Hawk

More simply pathetic defense from the outfield. Hahn should be ashamed.

I feel like Lopez throws 70% fastballs

Interesting to me that virtually all of Leury's bad defensive plays have come in LF

Probably by design due to his change up being batting practice caliber this year 

"How do you solve problems? With solutions!" sounds like the beginning of a bad sales pitch

You sound like you think he designed this team to win games. 

DeShields has not had a good look at Lopez today.

Great fastball location!

Engel, Thompson, Anderson. This will be a great inning, I’m sure.

No but when you have 3/5 of your rotation made up of young pitching, having one of the worst group of defensive outfielders in a long time is poor planning.
