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

He got bailed out by the error but it was the most selfish at bat of the season. Didn’t make an effort at all to hit it to the right side.

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

I rip on him occasionally when he goes through his slumps because I know he's better than this. 

A good kick in the arse. 

The shocking thing  is that Moncada has a walk% of 12+% over 2020-21 but this year it's below 4% so far, by far the lowest of his career.

What is so great about Menechino? The guy isn’t a good hitting coach so fire him. Enough is enough!

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

Vaughn 

Pollock swing at 3 pitches not even close to a strike.

He looked like the guy in slow pitch softball who only has one swing path and can only pull the ball. 

That ball almost ate TA up. 

TA's arm is a blessing and a curse.

Haha yep 

Bummer is dotting that sinker so far. 

Devers is awesome

Devers is such a smart and good hitter. 

Eh, I'm still happy with that performance by Bummer. He looked better than he had, Devers just flipped that thing out there

Bummer's command has looked so much better the last 2 nights. I think it makes sense that his knee was contributing to his inability to throw strikes.

if he's throwing strikes, he's going to be effective. the last 2 nights have been very encouraging in that regard.

BTW if Moncada gets his shit together and puts up close to 3 WAR in 100 games or so(after he gets himself healthy) then his contract not a problem. 

If he sucks like this, then it's a problem. He does what he did in 2021 and his contract is fine. 

Graveman has shaved.

Maybe we can get him to embrace PitchCom next

Bummer looking better these last 2 nights which is nice.  Devers is just a tough out.

I'll say that I think Menechino did a great job fixing Robert last year. Getting him to open his stance up fixed a lot of issues for him. But that doesn't excuse the results of the team offense so far this year. Even though the offense was good last year, they had a lot of issues get exposed in the postseason, where winning really occurs in the margins. 

Are we able to take Graveman to Toronto?

Anyone else notice Bummer's velocity is down this year? He was in the high 90s before and is now sitting 94-95. 

Dude used to sit 96-97 and touch 99.

Man that first pitch from Graveman feels like it should have been hit a long ways

I just turned on the game.  First thought was: who the hell is that guy on that mound?

Devers at bat is what baseball is about and why the Sox suck. 

Here we go.
