Seems like every old hitter on both of these teams is off to a dreadful start

That ball hit the knob of the bat.

No replay called.

Witt gets hit in the knob comes out shaking his top hand lol

Grandal actually made a really good block there.

Martin having control issues

Can we get three from Martin?

Well when you're struggling to make the Top 30 out of the 30th ranked farm system...somehow survived that inning.

Bullets being hit everywhere.

Lots of hard contact that inning. 

Pujols successfully pitched an inning this week, so anything is possible. 

Vaughn looking bad on sliders from RHP again

We're making Singer look really good.

Of course Pollock joins the Sox and immediately posts the highest oswing% of his career by a mile

Nice inning guys!

Entire offense outside of Anderson and Robert sucks. 

Vaughn struggling with RHP again.

This is the perfect type of lineup for him to pitch against, unfortunately

fixed that for ya.

Its tough to see the ball out there.

MLB rules require the Sox to play at least 1 outfielder every game who looks like they're running in quicksand every time they break on a ball

With this offense that's probably game.  I'm sure Tony is happy. 

Pollock plays everything into a double with his lack of effort getting to balls. 

He sucks with the glove too. 

 

This is some junk ball pitches. Missing all over the place. 

And this umpire is terrible 

He's leaving a lot of pitches over the middle of the plate.

Very much so.....rule 64.6.3 also known as the Jon Jay rule.

The bar for him is low, so I'll be positive, multiple whiffs on 3 different pitches is fairly impressive for Martin so far
