John has brought up his defensive plays about 8 times tonight.  Move on buddy

Maybe McKinven is actually the GM.

You have Houser, Smith, B.Wilson, Capra, McKendry in AAA...

Capra is now 3 for his last 56.  One of the dumbest Sox acquisitions in a long time.

Getz managed to find a worse hitter than Amaya to replace him.  Genius!!!

that didn't take long.

So Michael Taylor went to the torpedo bat and sucked and decided he would rather suck with his normal bat? Got it.

Heard the Schriff dawg mention this last night.  Way funnier how you stated it.

This is a rare night where I get to watch a majority of the broadcast.  It’s insane how bad of a production this is.   I laughed out loud at the commercial highlighting a catch by Palacios with no fans in attendance and a lame call by the announcer.

He should go up there with a corked tennis racket.

1.2 fWAR Meidroth

0.9 Vargas

0.7 Thaiss (well, sort of a member of the team)

0.6 Sosa (before the trade with the Mets along w/ Robert)

0.1 Taylor (more trade value than Robert, lol)

0.0 Benintendi

 

Robert(s) (-0.3), Palacios (-0.5), Baldwin (-0.6), Quero (-0.1), Amaya, Vaughn (-1.3) all in negative territory

Is Vinny Capra any good? He has quite the name, reminding folks of Cousin Vinny and Frank Capra. I wonder if Vinny is having a wonderful life.

Eisert and Martin Perez with the most value on the team after Shane Smith and Davis Martin, lol

Pitchers struggle throwing to second from the mound so much

Rojas is just so damn bad

 Not even remotely.

Because Getz is the worst GM of all time 

Just the guy you want up in with the bases loaded.  

Vinny Crapa

Why can’t we bring Elmo back up to play first and move Vargas back to third?  
 

Rojas absolutely sucks. And Capra needs to be cut…. Now!!!!!

Perfect that Capra manages to get the bases loaded situation there.

Scoring by a walk, since we can't hit with RISP.

 

Smith a bit reminiscent of Dylan Cease...so many pitches thrown, K's, BB's, HBP's, it's a wonder he can make it through 5 innings each time out.

It's a damn drinking game at this point. That coupled with double-shots when he mentions Vargas and his swing adjustment...I'll be hammered by the 8th inning.

81 pitches for Smith so far.

Venable will go for a sixth, but this is always the time of the game where Smith struggles mightily or gets knocked out.

Because why let a guy focus being good at one position…try him at another position which theoretically is an easy position to fill.
