Awful base running, my god 

I can handle the losing, but the stupidity is just too much.

Why is Engel batting

 Can anyone else play CF?

Engel 0-3 3ks. Why was he batting there

Cause he has 1000 lives and Ricky is horrible

I dream of the day I never have to see Engel swing a bat again.

Good question

Any other degenerate bovada heads on this board? Severino just hit 8ks for the over on total strikeouts. Every Yankee starting pitcher went over on strikeouts this series. 

The Sox face Bieber, Bauer, and Carrasco from Cleveland this weekend. I suspect a ton of ks this weekend as well. Get dat easy money during this putrid Sox season! 

Engel is gonna get 150 more ABs because a potentially sensational defensive play is all anyone in that dugout has left to hold on to this season

No one is really pushing him in Charlotte though. Cordell and Tilson look like career AAAA players at this point. 

Luis Robert should be up by late 2020 or early 2021. Let Engel play every day until the kid from Cuba is ready. 

Another multi strikeout game for Yoan. This is ridiculous

Engel better be out of the organization after this season.  Sign a free agent to play CF next few years.

Lol...what?  Sign a veteran to a short-term deal and end this nonsense.  Engel is not a major league caliber player.

This is the same organization that once tried to field Jose Valentin in CF tho

Of course this would never happen, but if the opposition decided to intentionally walk Abreu every PA for the rest of the year, the Sox wouldn’t score 100 runs the rest of the season.

Same FO, too - KW & RH

I know everyone has Moncada Fatigue, but I really think he should be sent down until Charlotte’s season is over. At least it would save him from setting the season record, and who knows...maybe Eloy could help him in some way. Just clear his mind a little.

More strikeouts, yay

On 1-0, Avi wasn’t looking for a 97 mph fastball.

On 2-1, Avi evidently wasn’t looking for a 96 mph fastball.

On 3-2, Avi apparently wasn’t looking for a 97 moh fastball.

They should just send Steverson’s sorry ass to the sun.

At this point, assuming Machado is a no go, I hope they sign Pollack, Dozier, & Murphy to pillow contracts this offseason.

1. Pollack, CF
2. Moncada, 2B
3. Abreu, DH
4. Jimenez, LF
5. Murphy, 1B
6. A. Garcia, RF
7. Dozier, 3B
8. Anderson, SS
9. Castillo, C

That could actually be a damn good lineup with rebounds from Murphy & Dozier.

Just put Palka in center. After all, #AuthenticFans remember the #SteveSaxExperiment

The team should do whatever they can to protect this kid from this happening.

Drop him down to 7 in the lineup. He can strikeout at the bottom for the rest of the year

At this point, who cares. Ricky's latest comments seem to indicate the Sox want to see how he responds to the slump.
