Vaughn for most of this year...otoh Madrigal has been a disaster for the Cubs as well.

The do-called core is in danger of melting down into scrap metal.

Vaughn's power has been disappointing imo. 

christ.

Now would be nice for a random Seby HR.

Offense just sucks at home this season.

The momentum feels like it's completely changed. 

Can't wait to see 102 mph Duran fastballs and 92-93 mph sliders for two innings later on...

Shhh, don't say the quiet part out loud. 

Has there even been a major Sox prospect coming out of the rebuild that hasn't been disappointing in some way? 

He was such a freaking beast when he returned from the injury last year. What the heck happened?

No fucking way. 

Awesome inning, really dangerous at bats.

1-2-3

He was never going to be a 40 Homer per season kind of guy.  But he's not Mark Grace or John Olerud either.

He did 

We're getting cheated so hard by the umps this game. 

2 questionable calls by the 1st base ump too on 3rd  strikes by 2 Sox players.

Team looks dead, stadium is dead, Benetti and Stone are annoying as f.

Even up 1-0 to me if felt like they had the momentum. Getting a lot more guys on base than we are. Plus this strike zone and check swing calls are nearly 100% one sided.

He was supposed to have a lot more power than what he’s shown, but it’s still too early to judge him

That's gonna look like it's 110 compared to Bundy's 89

The Sox preach a middle-away approach with all of their young hitters and it's very tough to hit for power when you're doing that. AV's power is to the pull side and he doesn't tap into it nearly enough.

No, it seems he kinda is Grace/Olerud until he proves otherwise.

The Twins just have a better lineup and having better at bats.  The Sox lack any plan at the plate.

Don't blame the ump. Sox can't hit their way out of a wet paper bag. 

The Sox don't deserve to go anywhere in the post season if all they can muster is 1-8 against the Twins and Guardians.

The woeful Tigers are in the process of doubling our victory output against the Guardians in a single day, for God's sake.
