More like mentally. He panics every time he doesn't field a ball cleanly.

partially because he's not athletic enough to get his body in position to field it cleanly.

I was agreeing with you. 

I realize that. Just that same I felt the need to clarify that. I don't know how anyone could root against the team out of spite for LaRussa. I do understand eventuall you might get frustrated with the team getting away with bad decisions but it is what it is, I suppose. 

Please don’t give us Leury at second base when Engel returns.  Give Mendick a legit extended opportunity for once.

Nick seems super streaky, which isn't really optimal when your game is supposed to be contact and defense.

Gotcha. Hard to catch tone over text sometimes.

They have to find a new 2B.  Enough is enough with that juggling circus clown. 

Panic mode knee jerk takes are funny.

Yea no shit. Lets enjoy the guy this season pitching like this.

Yep I'm just glad the Sox got this year from him during a contending season rather than 2017 or something. 

If we look this bad against Montgomery, what are we gonna look like against Cole?

Absolutely. People assuming you can pick it up over a text message (sarcasm more than anything else) is irritating to me.

Let's not talk about Rodon and next season right now. Enjoy what he's doing, folks.

he's streaking towards .5 fWAR at best.

Let him show some emotions...the biggest rap before was that he was like a robot out there.

In past years, those runs score seemingly 75-85% of the time with that big of a defensive miscue.

Yeah, I'm just dogging LaRussa, lol.

The Sox lit up Cole the last time they saw him. It was about 2 years ago though. 

Other than Moncada these have been some bad ABs.

Kangaroo court for abreu

Charlie Tilson hit a grand slam off him. 

 

That wasn't even close Jose

Abreu not picking up the ball at all...

Montgomery looks like the generic guy in the 20th season of a video game.

It's like we have no scouting report on this guy...

Let Yermin steal second

So who is competing with Yermin for ROTY?

One of the Maine high schools...or the one where Hahn went, some connection there.

Yermin might have a .450 BABIP at this rate.
