Whew...I thought Steve called that.

Well, look at the bright side. With the offense this bad, the Sox will lose very quickly this season. At least they spare fans extended suffering.

Wow, look at that vet out there in RF!

So here’s my take at this point. Maldonado was a wasted signing. He’s worthless on both sides of the field. Should have let him retire and then hire him as a coach if that’s why you wanted him. 
 

Benentendi is no longer good and should not be hitting lead-off. It’s a repeat of last year when they kept hitting TA first even though he sucked. Stop playing these guys based on some historical stats and start playing them based on how they’re performing now. 

Salvador is having a game. He always hurts us.

That Benintendi deal is vomit inducing.

The least Benintendi could do is use both hands when catching a fly ball. I mean at least make it look like you're trying

FRAME THE FUCKING BALL

This has been an issue basically since “framing” has been a stat. I watch our catchers catch a close ball and either drop it or immediately move the glove and throw back to the pitcher and get zero calls, while at the same time it seems like every catcher on the other team catches the pitch and moves it into the zone and waits for the ump to make a call.  The results suggest that affects the unp’s call. So why do our catchers not do what most, if not all, other catchers do?

Was he not running out of the box there?

Robert has been s%*# aside from one game...

Apparently the Sox have the sixth lowest ground ball percentage which I refuse to believe

Yep. Hopefully tradeable mid-season.

Been nice watching a nice defensive IF in Lopez.

You can say the same about our starting pitching.

Schiffren's first MLB game was 9 months ago.

I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt for being the new guy, but if he’s still giving the same broadcast 50 games from now, I’m calling him a chooch.

How can't Vaughn get under that ball

When are we going to admit that Andrew Vaughn is a bust

Bad at bat.

First play I see is a 3-1 fastball hit on the ground.  Time to do something else tonight.
