You have a guy who struck out 4 times last night leading off, probably never led off in his life. (He did single for the only Sox hit).  I’m not sure what Venable is trying to accomplish with these goofy lineups, 

 

Get him an extra look at the top of the lineup? If they can get him hitting at all, he's a power threat.

Slater, Rojas, Capra and all of the other vets that were brought in that are now gone have just been fucking terrible. Tauchman is the only one doing literally anything.

This is the least shocking thing of this season.

Quero better find a way to elevate the ball, especially against RHP.  He’s hitting the ball on the ground more than Eloy ever did.

He showed some power in the minors but now is just a singles and doubles guy, that’s OK but he then needs to hit .300 to help.

I agree, bring the kids up instead of watching vets at the end of their careers.  You can keep Slater and Taylor just for 4th and 5th outfielders and insurance for injuries but I don’t want to see these guys starting anymore, they have a good game once in awhile but never were great in their careers, they’re low or mid 600 OPS guys.

Austin Slater came into this game with a 117 OPS+. Capra shouldn't even be put in a position to hit.

Yeah, he has been the 2nd most successful and wouldn't look as bad if Rojas/Capra/the rest weren't bringing the whole idea down.

It’s really amazing how low our standards have become the last few years.  Looking at the fWAR numbers for the first time in weeks was depressing today.

Kirk is best framer in baseball.  Quero one of the worst.

In a perfect world there wouldn’t be such a thing as framing with umpires knowing exactly if the ball was a strike as they should.
