Can we end the Grandal experience. 

They're all over Cueto this inning. 

Cueto velocity is way down

Vaughn almost dropped that...

Terrible read on the ball, and barely made the play on what should have been an easy out. It's painful to watch little league level outfield defense every night.

Sinker and 4 seam velocity are down by almost 3 MPH.

If Abreu returns and they decide to DH Eloy, then Vaughn has to be traded.  No more of this softball defense shit.

 They just showed the graphic that the Sox are 11-3 vs guys making their debut since 2018. 

Historically.

Sox 9-4 last 13 on road.

 

Worse than Grandal?

Jonathan Schoop

He might win a Gold Glove while being the very worst hitter in the AL/qualified.

Should have got another starter at the deadline

Grandal threw someone out?!?!?!

That trade the Yankees made for Gallo was horrific.  Good lord

Are we sure he got him? 

Hey look, Yaz with a positive contribution for a change.

Cueto's got regression written all over him. I'm not gonna complain when it happens cause he's well exceeded expectations. He'll probably end the year with a ERA near 4 unless he just keeps getting lucky.

We all know Yaz is in there for his defense anyway ?

Regression sirens have been blaring for months in regard to Kopech & Cueto yet they both continue to get good results anyway

At least Kopech had his fastaball return last start. 

Sox hitters look like they're not trying to pull much of anything against Ragans. Constantly late on the inside fastball.

I know they'd get a ton back for Vaughn, but trading him to fit a soon to be 36 year old onto the roster is so incredibly shortsighted.

Two extremely patient AB's from Robert so far

Nice AB

if his eyesight isn't too fucked to run, wouldn't mind seeing that

Menechino must be so proud

Let’s see how we kill the rally this inning ?

Starts stealing 2B and immediately falls down with Vertigo.

If his eyesight isn't good enough to run, then he obviously shouldn't be playing or allowed to hit, right?
