And now Ohtani tags up to 2nd on a pretty routine fly ball because Benintendi can’t throw for s%*#

Didn't he basically miss all last season or a bunch of time?

Kopech’s mechanics still suck.  He has no command of his fastball.

Good D by Lopez

Looks like Kopech will only pitch 2 inning unless he finds his control and has a quick 2nd inning. 1 -0 LA . Sox up. Beni single.

Too bad June draft order isn't allocated based on worst run differential...

Why do we even watch this bullshit? 

Four great at bats so far.  Yamamoto’s stuff seems flat.

Its ok, once his wrist heals he will be good again.

Moncada walk. Robert line out to deep right. Beni tags goes to 3rd. 1st and 3rd 1 out. Eloy walk. Bags juiced for Vaughn.

Which is the final FU to Sox fans from KW/Hahn? Burger for Eder or the Benintendi signing. 

I couldn't complain about Burger for Eder when it happened but what happened since has put it into question.

I want players who produce and win.

As with many occupations, the former is directly related to the latter.

Mr. BABIP….Lux is going to be a disaster at SS

Yes.  He had a kid with horrible health problems and did not play in 2023.

Really nice offensive inning. 

Is this what is known as offense?

Vaughn Sac fly to CF ties it. Everyone tagged up. No good on Outman in CF . Fletcher in the hole to SS beats it out. RBI.

DeJong slow roller beats it. RBI. 3 -1

Not really. They're just BABIPing Yamamoto to death.

All three outs were hit well.  All 8 guys who batted looked good.

DeJong steals on Yamamoto splitter in the dirt. Stassi lines out very hard to LF. 3 outs.

If you didn’t know better, you would think Yamamoto was a no-name minor leaguer.

Even if Burger is a .280 hitter with 20-25 HR's hes another slow plodding big man who is bat only. Ive had enough of that here, would rather have the potential for a starting rotation option.

That's baseball,  the hardest hit balls by Robert and Stassi were outs.

Two walks, no K's, no easy first pitch outs, and smart baserunning put them in a position to benefit from BABIP luck in the first place. Taking advantage of the opportunities presented to you is good strategy.

DodgerTalk is probably losing their collective minds as we speak.
