Bergolla is hitting like .510ish after 30 AB, ridiculous

All singles?

But I jest..mostly.

Nice cannon, Benintendi.

Benintendi MUST GO.

Embarrassing effort.

I was going to say someone hates Venezuela but they're overplaying Acuna.

Switch-hitting OF vs. power righty

Pierre and Pods could at least field the position well enough.

So Newcomb was available but you bring in Bryan Hudson in the highest leverage moment of the game so far.

I’m really starting to think Venable isn’t the guy, and I thought highly of him last year.

Not quite sure how every opposing team doesn’t run all day on this outfield of limp Ramen noodle arms.

Was just gonna type this. What a joke

Sox only have a switch handed catcher...

There are 5 guys in this lineup that any average team would be batting 9th, if they had to play them. Somehow the Getz apologists will all blame this on the Baldwin injury.

Losing Baldwin, Hays and Teel hurts. Maybe Pereira too? I'd at least be more hopeful trying him out there than some of these stiffs.

I'm not too concerned about the roster chaff they have though. I doubt most of them will still be here once they get Hays, Teel (and maybe Pereira) back. Antonacci and Bergolla will very likely be up this year too.

Simply put, either DH him, bench him or DFA him.

Duke Newcomb with a clean inning.

Bergolla has no place to play, and he’s way too slappy to start with.

Venable is much more likable and polished at speaking to the media than Grifol ever was but he manages like him.

Unless he's on orders to lose intentionally to make some kind of point that they desperately need a new stadium to transform a walking dead franchise.

If he's not hitting by like mid May I think they have to cut him.

Does JR have the $$$?

He would probably make Meidroth look like a power hitter.

MuraKami

Grant Wolfram is at least a 60 grade name....maybe 65 or 70 even.

Ivy Leaguer like Schriffen.

More polished eating habits.

Might as well give him a shot as the backup SS/2B/DH. Not like Acuna or Murray are roster locks.

Vargas! Looks like a frozen rope in the box score.

Caulfield, c'mon man we had like a solid two weeks of jokes about this.
