I'm thinking about that play at 2B and why wasn't a veteran like Elvis anticipating a possible flip? I think that is more on him than Tim there.

Because TIm was fielding the ball coming in towards 1st base. You take the out at 1st there every time.

TA not putting on much of a show for that Dodger trade

I'm sure they'd take him, just won't give up much 

Very sad. Sox don't belong on same field as Dodgers. People could win a lot of money stacking bets on Sox games. Very predictable.

lol you guys

I'm sorry but Elvis is not blameless there.

I was hoping he’d get eight or ten hits this series. Oh well. Bring on the C+ prospects

Well, the bullpen is back to sucking again.

Happy happy joy joy.

kinda funny how different espn's point of view on social issues is depending on the sport. i wonder if the NBA gets a 10 minute lecture about the flag

Cartaya and Miller...lol.

Sox losing right now is definitely the best outcome.  They need to be sellers and not buyers.

Grifol should be fired.  Also, Tim Anderson is the worst player in baseball the last two months IMO. Completely sucks in every aspect.

So should Katz and that batting coach.   Reinsdorf is not into winning with these coaches. Next up Boston interim manager.

They are equally bad at both.

These L.A. fans are worse than Cubbie fans on fly balls....they think everything is gone...and this ballpark is huge.

I think he is unless you know exactly where he was starting from and how long it took him to get there. He would have had to be on the SS side of 2nd base by the time flipped the ball so he could stretch for it.

The whole way the Hendriks situation was handled is infuriating.  His arm wasn’t close to being 100 pct by the sound of it.

get the f*** off our team TA...

used to be decent... now leury garcia clone.

 

Also Vaughn such a horrible defensive player... yikes

Problem is you have the same clowns doing the selling but yes I agree the losing should hopefully keep them from their false sense of hope at a minimum.

Not that the guys are good that are hurt now, but the roster is going to look so terrible tomorrow

Benintendi and Robert are both good major league outfielders.

You got the wrong sport.  It's not like the NFL.  Plus you are forgetting this organization is horrible at drafting developing. If the Sox were an NFL team they would go for a punter in the 1st round.

I want the Sox to have the highest draft pick possible next year. Right now they would have the 7th pick, if they sell they can get a top 3-5 pick.

And I will say this again, since they’re changed Scouting Directors, I would say that the Sox have drafted pretty well with their picks and resources. You didn’t like the Crochet pick? You didn’t like Montgomery, who’s a top 30 prospect now? Don’t like Schultz?

one would think "well he can't play defense, stick him at first base, at least he can hit"

that's half the roster and none of the guys can hit

Andrew Benintendi?

Crochet pick/utilization was bad

Also Andrus is not a 2nd baseman by trade. He is a SS.

Benintendi has a noodle arm and swings a wet newspaper for a baseball bat.

They need to get something for these assets that they have, especially the guys on expiring deals like Giolito, Grandal, Middelton.
