Robert not even doing fundamentals correctly 

He’s been just atrocious throwing during his Sox career

2 runs you can credit to Engel there.  Playing his way off this team.

Then who plays RF Leury Vaughn or Sheets lol?

Pollock doesn't look good over there either and lacks the arm strength.

Lopez still sucks too...

Still so glad we didn’t acquire a real RF this offseason. Fuck off Hahn

Year 6 (i think?) of not having a good right fielder and year 16 of not having a quality 2nd basemen. I'm sure next off-season they'll finally get it right.

Just look at the body language of these guys on that last out.  Holy fuck

They thought they could just show up this year and be guaranteed a playoff spot.  

Hmm, sounds an awful lot like last year expecting to flip on the switch come October.  

Robert was not going to get the runner at home without a Larry Walker Vladdy Guerrero-esque heave.

Alright!  Top of the order!  How many groundouts will we see.

Sox will go 1-2-3

But Hahn says he deserves credit for knowing Conforto was hurt

In this case it might have been better because the ball would have dropped and not gone past them

It was a bad setup and throw, but yeah. Would've taken a great throw. Still got to give yourself a chance.

Avi and Eaton had individually solid seasons there...that has been it.

Two.

Last year never ended. This is more of the same.

They could.  Problem is they haven't shown up.

I just want to be clear where I stand on the Sox…

I truly believe they will still win 90+ games and easily win the division because it sucks and they have the most talent. They will dominate in July and August, and do enough in September to finish it off. 

But they are bad right now. I know it. You know it. The American people know it. Just have to get their shit together.

Knowing that, with so much insider info shouldn't he have found a better alternative with all that strategic planning time than a non RFer in Pollock?

This team is bunch of clowns.

I dunno man. I'm trying to hold onto that, but they're close to 40 games already. Starting to think this is what they are.

I'd be surprised if the Twins don't end up in the 90 win range. One of Detroit, Minnesota or Cleveland was always going to end up being good.

A beautiful infield single.  We love to see it.

Twins are a lot better than people expected.  They have some good talent in that lineup now and it’s not just homer or nothing.

But plenty of relievers.
