I hope Elvis hits a slam here to quiet that OPS thread

If only Alberto could have done that to end the Twins' series, alas. 

Elvis smoked that. Oh well

Damn he got it to the track at least... lol

Benintendi now on pace for 0 homers and 29 doubles. 

Bottom of the lineup hitter gets them again.

He hit it solidly but fielder misread it off bat. 

Poor throw from LF to second again.  Double triple hopped. 

Benintendi is having an awful defensive game so far 

Probably why Robert is having a hard time trusting fielders to his left and right in the early going... and Colas departed. 

Seby barrels!

Once again, I love homers 

I also like doubles 

Well, that's why you play Haseley against lefties

Nice home run. And nice 2B by Haseley. Sox are hitting pretty well in Cincy.

Sadly the Elvis era in Chicago needs to end. Elvis cannot hit. My gosh, just bring in a second baseman and try the next guy. Elvis needs to leave MLB. Not good nuff anymore.

If Tim didn’t pull everything with RISP that’s a run

Robert continuing to boost that OBP

He really kept his head down on the ball on that pitch

Evidence is mounting that he is indeed still quite good at baseball

Haseley should have advanced to third on Anderson's grounder up the middle.  Cost a run.

Benetti is doing the ATL/BAL game on Fox with AJ

Man these Reds guys are swinging at s%*# WAYYY out of zone, feel like I'm watching the Sox offense.

I was thinking that also since he was moving away from 3rd and a throw back towards 3rd would've been difficult but it's possible since it was so close to 2nd that he could've flipped the ball to the 2nd baseman who would then throw to 3rd. He would've made it to 3rd if his 1st instinct was to go to 3rd but in that situation he was probably right heading back to 2nd base. The ball just got to the SS very quickly since it was hard hit.

No way the SS could have thrown him out at third.  Just a bad baserunning play.
