Quero and Tauchman can hit the baseball. Both good pickups. Whoever got us Quero knows what he's doing especially.

Palacios and Elko with the hat trick and Slater with the ...... Diamond Sombrero? What do they call 5ks?

Why am I irrationally irate that palacios is getting at bats ?

Venable has to go with his best players instead of these goofy lineups, Slater with 5 Ks, Palacios is just plain bad. It looks like we were all wrong about Elko. Baldwin is hitting .380, time to bring him up, have to find a position to play regularly at, I don’t want them moving him around. He’s been playing LF at Charlotte, Baldwin has played some first base in the minors, try him there since Elko and Vaughn have no future with the Sox.

Slaton and Elko went a combined 8 for 8.  Strikeouts. I don't know if that is new territory.

I can’t remember a guy striking out 5 times, I’m sure it’s happened.

Guys do it enough that there’s a term “platinum sombrero” or “Olympic rings” to describe it. Generally, I like Slater well enough but he and Elko absolutely killed them last night. Maybe Slater should have kept the stache?

According to the internet, it has happened over 200 times.

At least Slater was going deep into counts. Elko saw about 4 pitches each at bat. Once or twice I think it was 3.

Lmao that first at bat was “good morning - good afternoon - good night”

 

im becoming increasingly concerned with Elkos ability to ask for a trade
