Eloy is a danger to himself and others when he's in LF. Just give him a 1st basemens glove and be done with it

I think he’d fuck shit up even more at 1st, I can see him trying to catch a pop up behind second base. 

Skubal's day is done. Rodriguez in

It's a pride thing. We don't have a full time DH, yet we do have a full time DH if you know what I mean.

Nice recovery by Michael after a rocky first 2 innings. It got much better when he mixed the curve in.

The hitters stopped fouling him off. That bothered me as far as what he could get away with in velocity.  I think they stopped swinging at so many pitches

Man, Sox have dominated the first 4 innings of this series.

It's a matter of when not if that Eloy hurts himself or gosh forbid Robert or both if you keep him in left.

He can't field, he can't throw, he can't run. He is a friggen made to order DH !

Give left to Vaughn, Eloy to DH, trade Sheets.

Or running into the wall or bullpen

Do we know that Robert is actually calling for the ball? I feel like he’s had close calls with the RF on occasion too.

No Sox fan ever

He is the CF.  It’s his ball.

You could probably get a lot more in return for Eloy than for Sheets though.

I'd like to think Robert knows how to play the OF better than Eloy.

Crick time...

I can see him diving for a ball in the stands that ends up in the upper deck.

Damnit I shouldn't laugh but yeah, totally possible. If baseball only had a spot for guys that can hit but not field . . .

That was good framing

Torkelson got screwed that AB.

Gotta say, Crick's slider is pretty rough on these righties.

Glad the Sox are catching Tork before he really settles in this year
