I really doubt it is forever.  Give the kid a bit of a mental break by hitting down the line up a bit.  With how he has hit since coming off of the DL, nothing wrong with it.

He’s getting moved down to seventh because Ricky thinks Anderson gives the Sox a better chance of winning, I suppose. How does that impact a kid mentally?

Fowler leading off for the A's. Scene of the crime.

Thyago Vieira 26th man in game 2.

Did Ricky say that?  I didn't see the quote.

Not really getting Ricky's strategy here.

It's just because it's a LHP. Also he had a good series in Cleveland IMO

He's been batting down in the order against LHP all year guys...

My point is that win-now moves like that are dumb and detrimental to his development. How will he improve as a RHH if we don't give him ample opportunity to?

I agree that Moncada shouldn't be batting that low in the order against lefties anymore.Let him get as many ABs as possible from both sides. He should be leading off.

Damn I was hoping Renteria didn't stick AVi back in the 2 hole. He sucked there.  He hasn't hit anywhere but 2nd all season.

Tim is so unlucky... consistently hitting balls 390+ feet and 97+ MPH but getting caught for outs this month

He's hitting 7th today, as opposed to the normal 6th, which is why I'm sure people are acting differently.

Dear Yoan, 

Get your head out of your ass. 

Thanks,

Everyone. 

I wonder if this keeps up if they send him down as punishment for lack of focus.  He is so damn lazy defensively.  Looks more like Daniel Murphy defensively, not Cano.

Yikes

The D continues to suck a D.

A weekday afternoon game, that they most likely will lose.  Color me shocked.

Eep.  Go tank go?

Shields is really bad at baseball.

Thank god Abreu

Wow, that was a helluva stop by Abreu at 1B.

Good to see Yoan swing at a first pitch fastball. Hit it well too but right at the CF
