Ugh, TA has had some base running adventures lately.

bad take, bad baserunning. 

Horrible big Grandal. He keeps going up 2-0 in the count and then takes a meatball. Such a frustrating player. 

What was he looking for?

Yea fuck straight stealing. Am I right Ricky?

Am I to believe Grandal wasn't looking for 93 down the plate on 3-2?

What the fuck was that?

why is moncada not batting 2nd, even in his slump he's more dangerous overall.

Cause Yoan looked even worse in the 2 spot yesterday.

That almost looked like a hit and run and somehow grandal took a pitch down the dick.

That wasn’t his fault at all

I gotta think that was a hit and run and Grandal just didn't hold up his end of the bargain. 

That turned out to be an ugly inning.

I would love to see McCann bat 2nd actually

it did

That was frustrating. I'm not sure if Grandal just looks for a walk no matter what sometimes

That is an interesting idea.  I haven't thought of that.

Would you do Moncada 3 then?

hard to tell but possible. with the goofs he's made this year its hard to know.

Eloy makes a lot of sense right now actually. He's been pushing the ball to the right side a lot. You can do some hit and run with that.

I get people are frustrated but this is just incorrect.

Moncada is slashing 248/341/395 this season.

Grandal is slashing 237/363/412.

I understand the frustration watching him watch fastballs down the pipe, but he has been more dangerous than Moncada this season, and his patient approach has helped the Sox put huge pitch counts on the opposing SPs in the first inning lately.

It wasn’t a hit and run, it was more of a run on the pitch to break up a potential DP

or Tim got the sign wrong. One of them did

No, 6th or so. He’s just not the same this year.
