Yep crap defense in midseason form! 

Kinda funny that their biggest weakness was immediately exposed

Thanks Luery

Ugh. Gonna throw this out there: Leury has never been a good infielder and it’s weird they went so hard in his direction for 2nd base.

Gonna have to place that first pitch fastball better or move away from it.

Gotta pick up your defense as the ace, Giolito

Guaranteed to be a new Sox killer.

Yeah - I remember this defense. Still I like this teams bounce back ability. Twins hitters are legit though - battling a ton too. 

Bad D but Lucas has got to 1)locate his fastball and 2)vary his pitches more. They are jumping all over his fastball and it’s not in the right spot most of the time 

Of course it's 2020 all bad

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate Minnesota 

Thanks Leury and Bill Welke.

This will be one of those games they can’t get back later in the season due to Madrigal service time issues.

Not feeling optimistic with second half Giolito (where did his slider and curve go?) and no Kopech.

0-1. Choice to have Leury at 2nd already cost the Sox a win. 

Calling games in the top of the 1st. You must scare all the bookies in Vegas.

For Hahn to spew BS, Luery right now give Sox best chance to win is absurd.

That is 2 runs given up by the Sox in one game already that occurred because they went with Leury over Madrigal. 2 runs in a 60 game season already.

Gotta go off speed 1st pitch.

I would have gone with Mendick and that’s not hindsight.

Should have been a 5 or 6 out inning there... wonderful.

Yeah - I had been lulled into forgetting about all my concerns of team d. Madrigal will help but Nicky in RF - no good either. 

The only good news is I honestly don’t care much about pitch count this year
