    They have the 4th best OPS and 2nd most HR against LHP this season, people just don't like the names on the lineup card.

    Let’s get back and start a winning the series streak right here right now.

Colson tends to grade out as one of the worst baserunners in MLB. He's not fast, but it's not just his speed holding him back. Seems ultra-conservative as he doesn't really get thrown out, yet by the numbers he just doesn't get many bases.

DFA acuna before Gonzo hurts himself in AAA and get him up here.

I swear Acuña bat is way to heavy for him

TBF I'm not sure he could hit with a metal fungo bat.

Acuna hit that 2-0 pitch so hard

Hill's bunt probably had a higher exit velo

Got some good pitches to hit

So you were surprised he didn't make it to 3rd on the Quero hit too ?

Sexist, but accurate. 🤣

Giving up some very loud contact

Not real fond of that bunt. But it worked great.

What about it worked exactly?

The Sox proceeded to get multiple additional people on base after the bunt. Seems like giving that pitcher a free out was a bad idea.

I mean can Acuña be our Herb Washington...

I thought it was a good read, as they were playing Quero down the RF line

Yeah I mean my initial thought was "I'm not sure if a runner will advance here" and then "oh it's Colson so now I'm really sure he won't"

Grichuk had an awfully casual jog for how close to needing to leap over the fence that was

Feel like we're at about 4 out of 5 Twins batters who justtt missed it

Sandlin got good stuff but on a wind blowing out day he's a launching pad

Our RF is just a bermuda triangle but I never really see the opposition struggling in it, go figure.

She is a joke of an umpire. Also, why does she feel the need to take five steps on a check swing? Ironically, it reminds me of all the umps in college softball.

It's really bad. And it just enforces stereotypes instead of breaking them. Nobody asked for equality in the sexes for MLB umping.

Not really, Gray's flyout had a .120 XBA. Wind carrying just made it look more threatening.

RF really didn't come close to catching it though.Maybe I missed some deke by the OF. I know because it's on the RF line the throw to 1st is short if he catches it so it limited how far he could go towards 2nd.

I just think a lot of guys read that it was going to drop in better and are closer to 2nd when it does. At least he didn't pull a muscle so there's that .

Base running, not good
