Taylor velocity way down

probably trying to get 2 out of him, which good luck at this rate.

but they are still outs

....Yes? The comment I replied to was literally about hard hit balls going for outs.

Yea, Baldwin has to go.  He can't hit and doesn't play any position at the major league level.

I was hoping they’d bring him up earlier but now I’m seeing that the Sox were probably right that he might be a man without a position.

“Colton” with a cannon.

He might just be a CF and we'll just have to wait until Robert is gone to find out. I can squint and see some problems in a corner for a newly minted MLB OF.

Tauchman's jar of pixie dust is almost expired. Please trade him.

Chase gets way too off balance at times. On his good swings his head stays still.

He always seems to turn it around after a bad game but I still hope they trade him.  We need to find some young outfielders to give the at bats to for the rest of this season and next season.  That development time has more value than whatever we get for Tauchman.

No idea why he didn’t start the last inning. Walls is better against LHP

Didn't seem like we had much of a plan here. I thought he could have come out to start this inning. Burning a lot of guys needlessly.

The Sox never understand opportunity cost. 

Love the little league field. Longest single in existence.

Two straight games with questionable managing. 

I don't like this ray's team one fucking bit. all their latin guys come off as arrogant jackasses and all their white guys come off ass arrogant assholes.

If caminero doesn’t score here, leasure is a very lucky man. That single should’ve sent him home. 

Nice! Love Vargas' footwork there. He does play an easy 1B.

Great play. great duck, Jordan.

I thought for sure Colson was going to make the play but nope had Chase perfectly positioned. Not surprising for a shorter guy he has a harder time on static throws but Vargas unlike that butcher Vaughn had himself on the right part of the bag for the wide throw.

I think it's interesting that the Rays are a successful organization but I doubt any casual fan outside of Tampa could ever name a Rays player. I couldn't.  They are not a sexy baseball team.

Martin Perez — first rehab start is on August 2nd.  Womp-womp.  At least he can eat some innings later in the season if guys like Houser/Civale/Martin get traded away.

Sox have turned the 4th most double plays this season (some of which is a consequence of more baserunners).

Angels, Rockies, and Rays are the top 3.

Sucks he couldn’t be a trade chip but I guess someone has to eat innings.

Good start lets keep the bats a rollin boys!

Cuz the minute they find any sort of potential star, they trade him away for prospects.
