Moncada's whole demeanor looks off. He shows no emotion at all. He just couldn't become this bad at the plate without something going on could he? He needs to produce for this team.

Yea we can't rip on Vaughn for his OF play. He is not an OF. He does the best he possibly can though.

JUST PUT ALL THE BATS ON THE FIELD AND LETS GO. This team doesnt exactly play what is called...defense. So fuck it. Sox need to let their freak flag fly

Yoan....sheesh man...freefalling.

good AB from Jose. Jose at least when he's seeing the ball well will let a wild pitcher walk him.

I would like a hanging slider to AJ

 

And for AJ to hit it, possibly hard.

If Moncada is healthy he's a much better hitter than Burger. It's not even close. Something is wrong. Yoan came back and was on fire then all of the sudden lost it. 

He's been off since he got Covid.  Until they figure it out, I'm fearful this is the Moncada we have to work with

Covid impacts pitch recognition?

What are you swinging at? Stop swinging.

Houck can do this to hitters

I'm not saying it's the cause but he's been off every since then 

No strikes yet this AB. 

Righties are hopeless against Houck unless he hangs something or can't throw any strikes

Yoan was fine last year. A little short on the power numbers, but he had a 122 wRC+ last year and that is also his wRC+ from 2019 through 2021.

Did not swing at one strike. That is everything that is wrong with this team.

Pollock is another guy who swings like he’s never seen an offspeed pitch. His at bats have been as bad as anyone’s tonight.

Against Houck, you gotta make him throw a strike. Jose did just that and he walked.

It wasn't the type of production people expected from him though, therefore he hasn't been any good

His final AB vs Hll was as uncomfortable as I've seen any Sox hitter all season. Those swings are abysmal.

Bullpen time.......

 

The Sox have exactly one professional hitter in TA. The next closest is Pito. No one else even close. 

Bummer pitching on consecutive days makes me a little nervous.

Bummer time, so really hold on to your butts. 

I can't believe Boston doesn't have anyone on their bench to pinch hit for JBJ here, but I'll take it
