Shewmake needs to go. His defense has killed the pitchers.  As for Crochet….yuck

Soroka vs. Wheeler ... doesn't look very promising.

I didn't realize Soroka was Canadian

The talent gap between these teams is insane.  Also, I’m pretty sure I could throw an offspeed pitch that Vaughn would miss.

We need one in his prime Larry Walker about right now...it's getting to be sheer misery watching this lineup.

Crochet looks tired already, might need to start skipping starts already.

Don’t watch, it’s easiest thing to do

As long as it's low and away...

 

Good thing we don't have Whit Merrifield at least to suffer watching.

This is shocking!!

Stone is living in the past.  He thinks 35 year old Whit Merrifield is still a good player and is mystified by his slow start.

Why would he need an innings limit?!?  He is ready for 200 this year!!!

How sad is it that the Sox couldn’t afford him

Why is Vaughn pointing his body at 2B there? Good god. Get in front of the bag and help your 3B out. He made that way closer than it needed to be.

Probably would normally be a good thing they didn’t sign his old ass.  But f*** Jerry pocketing more money.

Seriously, it’s almost like Stone said that just to justify the Sox old geezer signings.

Gotta save money for his son to take over

Poor fundamentals...combined with poor agility and zero leaping ability.

Do they have +/- for minutes hitting vs. minutes on defense/pitching?

Sheesh.

It’s crazy, I noticed that early in the week.  Has to be 25/75

Will they score a run all weekend?

Shiffren needs to move over to MMA...inevitably, the pairing with Stone will wear quite thin by July.

Especially hawking concessions every home game.

174 OPS for Maldonado now.

OPS....One Seventy Four.

Not a fan.  He's a worse homer than Hawk when the Sox were winning.  He actually mentioned that it's still very early in the season so this Sox team could turn it around!!!

Makes up for it with his defense

With all the players and prospects Getz has already dumped for nothing because he manages the 40-man roster like a goddamn schizophrenic, would it have killed him to trade one or two of them for Joey Bart when the Giants DFA him and told Maldonado to retire and become a Sox coach?  Jose Rodriguez and Josimar Cousin could have brought back Joey Bart.
