That's not a ball boy, that's a ball man.

Hey at least we're not gonna get no hit 

I think I saw Yoan grimace

It really is baffling. Granted Morgan has had some good outings against good lineups. He also gives up 2 HRs per 9. 

The Sox hit a lot of HRs gap to gap. To hit them off Morgan you have to pull or hit a long one from LCF to RCF. So far the long ones aren't in the right place or long enough.

There's probably a 10% chance Yoan scores given how bad we've been at getting leadoff doubles home.

Love Leury fly balls.

You think it's that high?

Well, considering the ML average is like 40% in that situation, that's actually pretty low. 

Seriously.  Can anyone add a opinion on why this offense struggles as much as they do?

 I understand it's called sarcasm

Remarkable that with all of the corner OF/1B bats in this organization the Sox might not have a single DH option that can give them a ~110 wRC+.

We just can't hit this guy's change up. 

This ship has probably sailed, but if the Sox are looking for a bat only option at DH Yermin is probably a better hitter than Vaughn right now.

Hitting is hard.

It shouldn't be when you're facing Eli Morgan.

If ths is a one and done flame put in the playoffs, I’m thinking that some coaches will be offered as sacrificial lambs- Menichino and Hassler come  to mind

The team needs to stop hitting so many ground balls. 

Oh boy.

Well shit Lynn might be hurt. 

WTF is this?

We’re probably seeing the downside of rushing Andrew Vaughn- he looks horrible

He's a big leaguer, son.  Big leaguers are good.

There's a very good reason hitters never go from High-A to the majors.

He's one of the worst starting pitchers in baseball. An ERA over 5 with peripherals to match. This offense should be hitting him.

TA swinging at balls. 

This is his main weakness as a lead off hitter.
