Pathetic start against a struggling pitcher. 

Bold plan of taking fastballs and chasing the splitter

How in the world did his agent convince Hahn to give a 3 year deal?

Cobb has pitched much better than his ERA suggests. He's going to be tough, particularly on all of the righties.

If his era was 8 the Sox couldn't hit him.  They always struggle against high era guys.

They struggle against every starting pitcher. 

2 out walks……

I truly don’t get the game plan by the hitters.  Stop taking fastballs 

Pollock wasn't going to get anything to hit with the pitcher coming up next. 

Pollock OPS against RHP near .530.  Crazy drop off from last year.

Why do you think there is a game plan?

I'm so ready to trade him for a D level prospect and be done with this experience

At some point does the randomness of batting order and off days impact production?

No one is taking him with that contract for next year

I think he has value if used properly.

I think someone will, but we'll find out in the next month

Still mashes lefties and could probably do alright if used against certain RH starters. But he has been overexposed playing every day this year.

Over and under on how many groundoutsthe Sox hit into this game? Tor

Sure he has value as a platoon bat, but not for ten million next year IMO

What options are there?   Hell look at what the Dodgers have for depth. 

$10M is not breaking anything.

I can't believe it's that cold that they are that bundled up on July 1.  So weird.

Him getting traded back to the Dodgers makes a ton of sense. I don't think it's a given Pollock opts in given how the rest of this season goes.

I am absolutely shocked leury didn't do anything. Awful luck.

Garcia ? 

He saw 6 pitches, great at bat results be damned.

 

Drunken fool 

Yay, more fastballs taken for strikes.  Awesome job by Leury despite the result.
