Thanks Garcia! Wtf! He's obviously playing to much out of necessity.

Every game the Sox play vs good teams you can feel how overexposed Leury is

And others as well

jeez the Sox need a 2nd baseman badly.  Leury and Mendick have been absolutely awful since the ASB.

Adam Frazier is such a natural fit, hopefully the Sox have the prospects to land him. But even Escobar or Schoop will do.

I would love to know La Russa’s thought process for batting Leury ahead of Collins & even Engel against a RHP.

Tampa takes 9th inning lead on Cleveland!

I think you can get away with him playing vs the .500 or worse teams. But when it's playoff caliber opposition it's just glaring how much worse he is than pretty much every other player on the field.

What’s happened to Cleveland’s bullpen?

Which is absolute insanity and proves that La Russa doesn’t look at splits.

Lack of sticky stuff?

I saw that Karinchak has had 14 Ks in 16 innings since the crackdown. He was striking out like 20/9 before that. 

Tampa up 8-4 now.  Amazing what Cruz does for Tampa's lineup.

Guess they didn't want to pitch to Cruz so they pitched to Choi and it backfired.

His "stuff" has gone down more than anyone since the crackdown.  Watching him last night, he wet his fingers more than a porn star with a dry mouth.

It sounds like Cleveland wants to sell, too. Wouldn't be surprised at all if Detroit finishes above them.

He definitely went. 

Boxburger is loosening.

His BABIP is inflated as hell. He's a guy that costs a fortune then comes back down to earth. No thanks to Frazier. 

Not a fan of this move from La Russa, would have rather faced Taylor

where you see that?  And yes I can see the Tigers passing them.  They have a very easy schedule the next few weeks.

I've talked myself into Schoop.  Great power for the position

They had him dead to rights

Damn bad throw by Lucas. Good throw gets him.
