Eisert. Cross your fingers. This guy is aweful.

Something to keep track of is Quero against RHP. He had huge splits last year, and it’s holding true in his short tenure here.  

FWIW, he's got "bad luck" xwOBA as a LHH and "good luck" xwOBA as a RHH in the majors so far [xwOBA as a RHH is only slightly higher than as LHH] so maybe the numbers converge a bit going forward. But besides the track record I think there's some hints that he's a little less natural as a lefty hitter

These are clearly famous last words, but I think Eisert is at least in the top 3 most trustworthy relievers on this team. Not that the bar is very high

wow.

Arozarena used to be REALLY dangerous with TB but a 772 ops in SEA isn't half bad.

 

Two more innings to match exactly match the 15-34 record of last year's team.

Ofc, they went on to famously lose 14 consecutive games, before later eclipsing that with another abysmal streak of 21.

Needs a few more runs please. Thank you.

Do you think Sox marketing comped the level of photoshopping they did on the Flo Rida picture or did they bill him for it?

Too bad unlikely to get Vargas VS. Vargas match-up...unless the Sox pick up the offensive pace, but then he'd be out of the game by then anyway.

Looks like he has no shot at a slider

That sounds like half the line-up...starting with Vaughn/Robert.  Slider/sweeper/sleeper, whatever, low and away is the death zone.

Former Cub that battled Madrigal with the Cubs for PT, right?

No beard, it's different.

Why did they pitch this guy again?

FWIW Quero ranks horribly with framing.  58 out of 60.

To give up grand slams on consecutive days

That was a nice 3-2 pitch
