He's out of excuses. He's just a really bad fielder average at best hitter that was propped up by playing in that LF at Fenway.

I thought he was an avg. fielder and below avg. hitter.  It's actually reversed.  Sometimes he comes thru with the bat, but it seems like ages since he has.  17 mil/yr.  UGH.

Service medal for Burke covering first and Noda fielding for the out.  Fundamental baseball executed.  Take the joy where you can.

He makes El Caballo and Q look like gold glove LF. Never seen a guy so bad at going back on a ball at the MLB level in a corner. A fairly short one at that. 

Luis knows how to bunt.  Not sure Teel does.  Come on, just a single please.

Vargas should be an all-star.

Noda is also terrible

16th at his position....in the majors.

Smith is the better story, Vargas #2.

LUCK!  Wait, Why didn't Teel score?

Absolutely nothing in his profile to suggest he's not just another AAAA type. No idea why we waste so much fucking time with these vets.

Should have gotten at least one more.  “Run it out, you piece of –! Go on, run it out!”  Tauchman fail.  At least it's not a shutout.

Take away an A.

A productive out better than a K.  Wish he could get going.

Vargas can't field 3rd.  He should only be at first or DH.

Usually against that but when you’re hitting that poorly you almost have to.

Benintendi 3B.  Too bad he didn't do that with men on base.  Tough out for Meidroth, btw.

Vargas is turning into a good enough hitter to just park him at 1B next year imo.

That was outside!  BS.

What in gods name was that strike call?

good god. robots.

Luis did the right thing taking an outside pitch, so of course it gets called against him.

That was a Greg Maddux strike.  Not even a Mariano Rivera.

What just happened with sosa

Swung at a pitch that bounced off the plate, safe at first because the ball got away.

If we knew going into the game that out of LRJ/Taylor/Benni, one would have a triple, one would hit a bomb to RF, and one would record a sac bunt, how many people would have gotten the actual sequence correct?
