Segura and Joc both look like they would have been great additions, but given how it goes for the Sox, those dudes would probably be OPSing in the low 600s if they were here right now

I don't doubt Story would be hitting .210 for us

It's more difficult to screw up good players. Which is why I spent the entire winter on here advocating for signing him.

Blatant swing

Ted Phillips was the same.....how'd that work out when put in charge. 

This team reminds me of my sex life, disappointment.

Blow it up and build around Timmy, Robert, Vaughn and Eloy.  Find lefty bats for LF, RF and 2B after the season.

Not so sure about Eloy but I guess since you can't get anything of value for him anymore might as well just roll with him as full time DH.  If he doesn't like it, tough.

So very true.  Not just about Story, but actually adding marquee names that aren’t 36 years old

Exactly my point.  Start taking defense more serious in the outfield, which won’t happen with Eloy or Vaughn out there.

Lucas has his good slider tonight

He only hitting about .225 with Boston but with 8 HR's  and 33 RBI's.

I love Abreu, retire his jersey, build him a statue, I think he'll mash the rest of this year, etc etc.. but man, so many issues start to clear up on this roster if Vaughn is playing every day at 1B and Eloy transitions to DH.

Overconfident, over rated, underperforming, unsatisfying, and utterly disappointing?  

why do i keep even bothering to watch this

Its about production not avg

Kike Hernandez has a punchable face

Lucas walking the tightrope nicely tonight against an excellent offensive team

Holy crap that was a disaster just waiting to happen

Which kind of why I responded to a post that said if he was with the Sox he'd be hitting .210.

Can we get some fucking hits

It feels impossible to score if TA isn't leading off an inning with a hit

Stop swinging at every freaking curveball
