Three straight guys get on base and nothing to show for it.  Stop inserting yourself in games Tony.

Or maybe the untradeable Mendick should have hit that pitch.

I got no problem with a hit and run, but Mendick and Collins combo for that is not ideal. Mendick isn't exactly known for making a ton of contact.

It was a great call.  Mendick just whiffed on a cookie down the middle ?

So fucking sick of this small ball bull shit.

We are in the 21st century, not the 19th century. Too bad our manager isn’t.

Hit and running is hardly small ball. That was a fine time to do it and that was the pitch to do it on. Didn't execute.

Mendick is to blame too no doubt, but ultimately I don’t like managers over-managing, especially early in games.  And I’m not sure I get the logic of hit & running in that situation there even if I put my old school baseball hat on.

Exactly, it was a horrible time to call for a hit and run.

Sox have run themselves out of many innings this year, not even counting the bunting obsession. 3 hits, 0 runs. That’s on Tony.

Yoan makes it look easy

Usually if you hit and run, you want to make sure the guy on 1st has some speed so that in case there's no contact made he's not dead to rights. Collins has to be one of the slowest players on the team. I think I have more of an issue with that than choosing Mendick to hit in that situation. 

It’s so bittersweet seeing Hard Carl finally reach his potential after being DFAed and now approaching FA.  Hopefully we can ride his arm to a title this year.

Highly disagree with that. It makes a lot more sense to hit and run with someone slow

And Mendick has a league average contact rate. That was the time to do it if youre going to do it. And he got the perfect pitch to do it with. I dont know what that swing was.

I'm guessing we will try to re-sign one of him and Lynn (and it'll be Lynn).

Yup, Collins is almost certainty the second slowest guy on the team after Grandal.  Just doesn’t make sense to hit & run with him outside of very unique scenarios.

Carlos is going to price himself out of our price range. If he stays healthy and pitches like this the rest of the way, there's no way he's getting less than $100 million. I can see Lynn taking a Peavy-esque deal with us at $20 million a year.

As impressive as Rodon has been and despite being younger, I’d still rather extend Lynn.  Dude has become an all-time favorite overnight.

Lamb says fuck the shift and gets a hit through it. 

Lamb beats the shift!

Jake Lamb needs to play a lot vs RHP.

 

Also, Yasmani going first to third is fun

Can we extend Carlos a QO? I'm not sure and I wonder if we'd consider it.

At a bbq how the fuck do they have 1 run on 5 hits?

Unreal

2 left again. At least Vaughn hit that one well.
