I dont get this sometimes. Unless the wind is blowing in, how does a ball going 404 not get out when it was caught short of a 400 ft fence?

It's not coming straight down. To hit a ball over a 400 ft. 8 ft. high wall, you usually have to hit it further than 400 ft.

Let’s be real… he’s injured still… he’s always injured. He “rushed” back, but then again you probably can’t rush back from an injury when your body is as brittle as a 90 year old. 

I always consider Yoan to be 'Mr. Glass', but yeah, Eloy is one who just NEVER gets over the dumbest of injuries.

That silly, overexaggerated batting stance isn't helping, I'm sure.

No need to rush him back. 

Burger/Sheets may be a better option even for the  week or two he is healthy

Is Clevinger hurt or was he just hit hard and Grifol pulled him?

I think the long third inning was the cause.  

Eloy's OPS is 31 points higher than Lenyn Sosa right now, that is pretty telling.

Need a Frank Menechino reaction next to TLR and Hawk.

I guess I always assumed with the launch angle incorporated into the equation that it would account for the apex of the balls trajectory. Am I way off?

Why is he still hitting 4th

This is inexplicable. Not adjusting to reality.  

It’s crazy Eloy hasn’t hit a homer in a regulated game in 2023

Burger is our best player.

Burger has such an awkward swing but man does he hit the ball hard.

If you’re at the game and want to live, you better pay attention when Burger is at the plate

He will get hot just in time for Burger and Vaughn to cool down.

Then pull a muscle. 

"Sox have the bullpen advantage with the day off..."

Jason, just stop there. There is no advantage, ever, against ANYONE, for this bullpen.

A Sosa bomb would be pretty cool.

Or one of the worst at bats imaginable 

Lol Sosa no chance

Totally didn't see that coming, who could have? Romy Gonzalez and Lenyn Sosa are the guys we come up with, to get a big hit.

Just now, fathom said:

Yeah that was next level bad.

I’m stunned that Romy and Sosa are overmatched
