You don’t think Benintendi is an offensive upgrade over Abreu?

Your point is valid if Benintendi was the replacement for Vaughn which he was not and you'd be bitching right now if Abreu was here with that contract.

And tomorrow they go to Pittsburgh to face a hot Pirates team.

The Pirates are throwing Dick Mountain, Vince fuc*kin Velazquez and Johan Ovideo in the series.  Me thinks the Sox are going to be just fine.

I know, but look at the reactions from some posters and Chicago media.

I don't think Lynn is done per se, but the velocity is something to watch because of the pitch clock and his age.  If it doesn't improve by May 15th then it starts to become a concern. 

I don't think Kopech is done either btw, let them see if it was just him tipping his pitches.

Welp they brought a RHP in, we're fucked. 

Sox have hit Junis well before. He's also shut them down.

So far, as a whole, this team feels like it did last year. A mediocre, up and down, .500 baseball team.

Are we saying Lance Lynn’s career done like Michael Kopech’s was the other day? 
 

(He’s had a bad performance today but I wondered if we were overreacting again.)

I was one to quickly claim Kopech's career is over.  My sense with Kopech is that he as no idea how to approach a hitter.  His FB was so dominant his entire life he's never had to learn.  Now his FB is pedestrian, his breaking ball command suspect, and change up command still a work in progress.  Now he's trying to learn how to pitch at the big league level and I don't suspect it will go very well. 

Lance on the other hand is just fat and old. 

Anderson not taking walks any more 

Good lord that was bad

Lol, would have walked if he didn't swing at the last two pitches

One team takes walks, the other doesn't.

Man, do we hate RISP.

Shocked I tell ya, shocked!

He is the virtual offensive replacement for Abreu in terms of Eloy and Vaughn still in the lineup.

Andrew is our best guy with runners on lol

Nice work by Vaughn

Good job on the slider!

Nice job by Vaughn to go with the pitch there. He's been trying to pull those this series. 

Vaughn showing them how to do it.

Yeah Vaughn getting an RBI on a slider is really good to see. 

Not a fan of already taking Burger out

He was in there to hit the lefty starter

Sheets basically got pitched around since Alberto is behind him...
