Really wish Robert avoided those hard stretch landings on 1B. 

 

Good to see Robert can still beat that out. He was 88 percentile in sprint speed before the injury, he's now 77% on Baseball Savant. I'm guessing he's probably around 70 percentile currently.

3 pretty crappy ABs after Leury worked a leadoff walk. When Leury has the best PA in an inning, everyone else is doing something very wrong.

Something that drives me nuts about Benetti is him discussing other scores that don’t relate at all to the Sox during critical situations

Hawk would be downstairs helping out with Lucas' injury, getting an update for viewers at home.

I just assumed he was taking it easy for the time being, that easy double last week where he stopped at 1b seemed to suggest he was told to ease up

Might as well have a Cesar bunt here

He's also good at it.  Let's keep that station to station going.

It will be at this rate 

Let's hope our GM makes a better decision for his replacement...just hope Cesar doesn't hurt our playoff chances.  Play good defense and not be a complete black hole.  Maybe he gets hot at the right time.

I believe that happened because Robert missed 1B. He's definitely taking it easy some, but in the Cubs series he looked like his 2020 self ranging around CF.

That was a perfect pitch 

Sure is a good thing we didn’t trade for Newman.

He definitely is, but I'm not sure he's capable of getting up to what he was pre-injury quite yet. Keep in mind they measure sprint speed at max speed, not necessarily when he's jogging to 2B on a sure double or 1B on a sure single. 

 

Another hamstring injury...just don’t rush him back

Lucas has been diagnosed with left hamstring tightness per Len Kasper. He will be reevaluated tomorrow.

Another hamstring injury...ugh. 

Mike Wright might be getting some starts.

Looked like Grandal blew his lower body out there 

He Gone 

Some nasty sliders that inning to finish off 2 lefties. 

George Springer pulled lol

Thank you sir, may I have another inning in the 7th.

I agree. Would have been a better choice.  Cesar is a good hunter.  

Abreu limping now. This game fucking sucks. 

Abreu limping after legging that out?

Jose looks like he tweaked something
