I agree, but they were 3rd in OBP as a team last year and 4th in walk rate. Right now a big part of the problem is that the guys who do grind AB's are either not doing it or have been hurt.

Moncada and Grandal 50% of it.

I will say this about JC. He always battles and gives you all he is got. He was a great pick up.

Tim Anderson is not a prototypical leadoff guy. We just have to live with it as long as he’s an elite hitter.

Still don't think this game is going to end well. 3 hits, 2 walks in 2 innings. Hopefully it'll change the second time through the lineup.

Kick Al Bundy's ass !

Pitoooooo

Pito!!!

JOSE!!!!

Jose hey hey !!!

I coulda swore Kepler robbed that HR for a second.

JOSE!!!

We finally have double figure home runs lol

Keep seeing an MLB.com video from last May where Pollock and Beaty combined for 15 ribbies.

 

Ron883 strikes again in the summertime.

Yeah it looked like he had a shot at it. 

 

ABREU WITH THE FIRST PLAYER TO GET 10 HRS ON THE SOX

Double digits in homeruns in July!?

I thought that fucker was going to catch that the entire way. 

Bundy's change up looks real good. Gotta hurt him on his 89 MPH fastball. 

 

missed it by about a foot...

nasty changeup.

Abreu is going to end up having one of the best offensive seasons of his career even with 3 months of brutal HR/FB luck baked in. He is so damn impressive.

Gotta be 1 of the weirder arm motions in the game. I’m sure that change is def hard to pick up off his hand…also no surprise he’s had arm troubles

On pace for like 20 homers!

Our lefties have no shot against that change. 

Oh come on Rackley...you didn't give Cueto that corner.

Quite the conundrum for next year...really need to get Vaughn back to the infield.  Or DH Abreu more to protect him.
