Sox used to at least smoke LH starters, that’s over. Offense on ? 

Those teams had so much confidence in themselves when they faced a lefty. All of that confidence was erased early this season when the pitching blew every possible lead. I wouldn't be shocked at all if the clubhouse was full of finger pointers saying it's not us, it's you guys

Vaughn is so bad. 5 for his last 34.

When Robert was in a huge slump, was he so bad? Abreu always was in slumps, was he bad?

Didn't we have a stretch of 18 scoreless innings earlier this year? Maybe we can beat that with another shutout today! #squadgoals!

Bro Vaughn has -1 career fWAR. Robert is closing in on 9. They are not on the same planet.

Hopefully two hour game but that's unusual with Dylan typically throwing so many pitches.

Benintendi fortunate he didn't play that into a double and an error... 

1:06 pace seems fair to fans suffering with both these offenses. 

Not so good for the concessions seller who rely on seasonal tips...

Doesn't him playing in the OF a huge reason for that? 

They may not score this whole series.

It didn't matter. When using his fWAR compared to the rest of AL 1B, he was in the bottom 1/3rd.

Playing CF at GG level except for last year returning from injuries. 

Any position up the middle of the diamond... 3B and RF as well, to a lesser extent.

83rd/90 MLB players 26 and under for fWAR...over 100 plate appearances. 

Sox have scored 1 run against Cleveland in their last 21 innings. I think they may have figured out our team's weaknesses.

It's going to severely punish any 1B who isn't an exceptional hitter and at least a solid defender. 

If Vaughn wasn’t such a high pick, people would want him sent down

Guardians basically a carbon copy of 2014-15 Royals' model.

They did this years ago. 

That was a very satisfying K.

Hahn doesn't want to provide yet another reason to criticize him...but surely Clint Frazier will save the day.
