Needs to fix his stance to do so

Eloy!

That’s better

Hey the big OF cannot hurt our power and only help the singles!

Much needed power 

That was possibly going foul. 

More great defensive positioning 

They know they can run on the Sox...what a fantastically managed team.  

Stone already making excuses for Cease

I wonder what it will feel like if this team somehow makes the playoffs and goes on an ‘06 Cardinals-like run and wins the World Series.

I know it’s not likely, but WIld Card teams and lowly slotted teams have won championships in baseball and other sports.

I feel like it will be much less fulfilling than the ‘’05 Sox, ‘85 Bears, etc.

Yeah.  One of the things about this team is even when they win they play a pretty crappy brand of baseball.  Sloppy defense, players out of position, mental errors, base running blunders, bad manager decisions, poor situational hitting.  It's hard to enjoy watching this team.  It seems there have only been a handful of truly satisfying wins this season.

I doubt if this team has it in them to go deep in the playoffs even if they somehow make it, but if they do get hot in October and go all the way I'll certainly take it.

Interesting perspective.. Rutschman is 24 years old and Eloy is 25...less than two years older.

As far as  Eloy's stance, his grip, and swing, they remind me of Ernie Banks.

 

Of course Cease has absolutely nothing tonight. Awesome decision to push him back.

Fuck these fucking losers

Stoney keeps complaining, as if Tony didn’t make this decision.

This team just can’t keep anyone down 

Hung one bad.  Cease has to get tough now.

But Kopech was geared up to start yesterday!

Couple of questionable calls plus no control plus hanging slider =

There goes that lead. Cease's control is really off tonight.

We suck so hard. Every damn player 

DCINAA

Why does Stone trash fans for blasting Tony, but he indirectly does it close to daily?

Is Stone anything but a water carrying shill at this point?

Self-fulfilling prophecy. Cease was held back to help with running game.  As soon as Mullins reached, Cease was too worried about the runner.
