Yoan and Robert clearly need more days off, always the answer to things in the Sox organization.

This team has the worst pitch recognition in all of baseball. It's insane how much garbage they swing at, and how many they watch go right over the plate.

A far cry from 2018-19. 

He has no power, no speed and doesn’t draw walks. He’s a defensive specialist that should either be batting near the bottom of the order.  Embarrassing result for a once top prospect

You have to put him back out there and hope he settles down and gives you 4-5 innings. Can't burn the pen in the 1st game of a home stand. Despite how this game has started you still need to win more than you lose at home.

see what I mean.

UT's Ben Joyce of the 102-103 fb going to be "eased in" by Phil Nevin against Sox next inning. 

First big league outing.

keynan was a nice find

Robert has struck out three times tonight and I don’t think he’s looked good for a few games. Looks lost at the plate

Buxton has left him in the dust. 

Seems impossible that he and Burger have almost the same sprint speed. 

I don't know if anyone saw the pregame show., but Ozzie talked to Shingos old interpreter who knows Ohtani really well. Ohtani would love yo play for the Cubs, but Chicago is too cold for him.

Hahn extension material...along with Santos. 

Sox have come in and executed against Trout and Ohtani tonight.

Solid inning by Middleton against the heart of the order.

Yeah West Coast was always the assumption. 

That would seem to eliminate both NY teams Philly and Boston as well. 

Braves would be absolutely scary. 

What a great find Middleton was

What will Middlton and Santos get at the deadline?

Santos and Middleton some great pitching. Time to get back in it so the late inning relivers can blow it. Please don't let Hendriks blow a save. Please Please. We need a triumphant return.

Good stuff there 

Liam warming....

They said he won’t be used in save situation yet

I don't think he's getting save opportunities as of yet

Pretty much have to keep Santos and trade Middleton as a UFA.

Santos has three more years of arb control. 

Andrew delivers again! Let's keep the line moving.

I'd pinch run with the ghost of Billy Hamilton here

Great revenge inning by the former Angel... 

Vaughn 103.8 ev. 

Got the cutter or slider at 89. 

Mistake to speed up his bat.
