I tell ya hwat, if my manager bunted a guy to third in the third, he has his job for as long as it takes my fat ass to get down from my box

I agree!  Earl Weaver was famous for saying you only get 27 outs.   Don't waste them.

His changeup is sensational right now!

This is the 1st time I've ever seen you say anything positive about Giolito. Lol

I'm liking this Gio.

It would be real nice to get that ERA to low 4's today.

At this point there is absolutely zero reason for Alonso to be batting anywhere above the bottom 1/3 of the lineup.  

He's just doing it to keep Machado happy. ?

The development of Moncada and Giolito this season is encouraging. It isn't doom and gloom, no matter what I said this past weekend

 

McCann what in the hell

Stay hot James McCann!

As I've said a million times so far the season has gone well.  The only real bummer is the injuries but what can you fucking do.

Don‘t get caught up what the scrubs do. They don‘t matter. If Yonder or Yolmer have an 0-fer and Nova coughs up 10 runs, that shit doesn‘t matter. There are only a handful of guys on this roster who matter.

So far Tilson gives a good professional AB more often than not.  Could not say that about Engel.

This is wonderful advice. Very true. I was bummed about Herrera getting lit this past weekend.

another cringey ass discussion with the cleveland crew.  JFC.

I like how these launch angle discussions never mention how velocity is through the fucking roof.

fucking TA back in swing at every slider mode.

He's wild Tim. He drives me crazy with his impatience at times.

Why can’t TA learn to be patient in those situations? He looked like he had decided to swing on every pitch before he ever stepped to the dish

Seems to not be hitting a lot of line drives the last few weeks.  Swing is slower than it was.

No kidding.  Pressure is on teh fucking pitcher.

Yolmer Sanchez ladies and gentlemen

professional out 

Defensive at bat for Yolmer.  Huge blown opportunity there.

 terrible at bad for Anderson. Bases-loaded one-out no runs not really surprised that's typical Sox fashion.

too many scrubs at the bottom of the order.  I'm so over Yolmer.  He was a 2 WAR player at best.  Now he's regressed to a 0-1 WAR type.  He'll be out of MLB in a few years with this performance.

JFC. I shouldn't expect anything more from the bottom of the lineup though
