I don’t know how long you can keep sacrificing defense out there. We knew it was a matter of time before Vaughn’s lack of speed would cost the Sox.  

Well yeah, I mean didn’t we all know he would cost them runs in the OF?  The belief was his bat would make it worth it, but that obviously hasn’t been the case yet.

I do.  I don't judge the team on a 5 game sample size - I judge it based upon the talent and capability to win. Baseball is 162 - the overreaction is terrible.  They blew some games and played horrible ball to the Angels - who are 4-3 and don't look that bad. 

So you are judging this team on paper. Fine. You have that right. 

I'm judging them on what I see in 2021. It's bad.

Did the dog shit?  You saw it.

No he didn’t  I’m going to have to take him out again before bed. 

Former Padres' pitcher who can hardly break glass.

They SHOULD kill him the second time around the line-up.

In theory.

That was a Madrigal play there.

This is the exact type of pitcher they would have lit up for 8 runs last year.

Soft fly ball to left? You are drinking.

How hard was it hit?  Didn't look that hard hit to me just in a bad spot.  That's a tough play for any LF but a decent one makes it more often than not.

LOL that'll help

Gun is right for Mariners guy based on previous velocity 

You guys better shit on their second baseman for 2 pages now...right?

This team is a puzzle with a lot of pieces that needs to be out together. Don't judge a team until at least the 50 games played mark. 

The baseball gods refuse to prevent Yermin from getting on base.

Great post.  I’m as frustrated as anyone right now and have real concerns about this roster, but the hot takes here are starting to reach insane levels.

YERMIN RIGHT NOW

Shoutout to the fellow Bond fans.

Seen some shitty defense out of others teams too at least. 
 

let’s get something going, andrew

No - I don't think 2021 has even been bad.  Pretty decent shot they will be .500 by end of the night.  You all are overreacting by a few of the Sox relievers blowing leads and pourous defense.  There is plenty of positives from this season too - including Kopech, Rodon, Crochet, Yermin, Collins, etc.  And while there are negatives - I'm not giong to assume Abreu will suck (not after 5 games)...and I always think Robert has the talent to be a star (regarless of being messed up)....Vaughn - same thing, yeah he's not good now...but that has no bearing on whether he'll be real good in the long run...potentially good even this year.  

Note: Vaughn just stroked that - had a good take earlier and did exactly what you should on that double. 

There we go, beautiful!

THERE YA GO KID!!!!!!!!!

Vaughn pops his cherry.

Nice Andrew, there you go.

Long season boys.

 

 

Vaughn doubles!

Nice hit AV!
