Oakland continues HR ball

 

Yoan just has to be better than this.  He should destroy a pitcher like this.

That's what they"ve been paying him for anyway.

Does this team actually give a fuck?

I think Abreu does

yay more groundouts 

No balls out of the infield in the first.

This team only cares about their checks on the 15th and 30th. It’s almost August and this team is a .500 club for a year now. It’s not changing miraculously.

Weird how opposing teams don't struggle to hit HR's here ?

GRF is the 3 rd most homers stadium in MLB.  In other words, very homer friendly, apparently for everyone but the Sox.  If we don’t hit homers at GRF we normally lose.

TA gets three game suspension, now on appeal.  Could have been worse.  Get ready for more Leury time.

is this what it feels like to be a Pirates fan?

TLR only understands the 2nd part of this statement 

 

Holy shit does this offense suck 

Murphy gets A's pitchers such a favorable zone.

I hate these commercials with this lawyer dude. 

Vaughn is going to be totally worthless if he can’t figure out how to pull the ball in the air

Hit it into the ground continually as a team

Year 22 of Hahn + KW not placing any value at all on defense

Stoney mentioned tonight that Sox need Lefty power at trade deadline but that it probably won’t happen.  He expects more like another reliever or two.  Ignoring position player needs both on power and defense once again.

He's already a very good hitter with like the least optimal batted ball profile/distribution possible. He'll be fine.

If you like ground balls this is pornography 

I wish Eloy would get closer to the plate. I know he loves to go oppo but why with his power ? Anything over the heart of the plate he can hit hot shots to right but those are HR pull pitches.

Every good position player & starting pitcher on the team could be hurt and Hahn's first move would be to acquire more relievers.

This is so difficult to watch

Good thing they're going to buy relievers at the deadline. Those guys will help them not hit the ball on the ground so much. If any GM can somehow spend so much on relievers every winter & still have a long enough leash to have the go ahead to trade for more in August, it's this asshole

Another scintillating start from the offense!
