    Good bounceback game for Ant other than that blip on the bases

    He's doing his job right now, at a time when the team really needs it with Mune out.

He's a negative WAR player over his Sox career, including -.6 coming into this game. He's flat out not good enough period. Stick his ass at the bottom of the lineup, this is not someone you want getting the most AB's in the game.

Was just going to ask, with his OPS now over .700, what is his updated WAR at? Or does his defense still bring him down to a negative WAR? My guess is it is still negative overall if you say it was -0.6 coming into this game.

Needs a day off and I’m sure his knee is a little sore.

I had to google it. I didn’t know that’s what it’s called. Just knew “golden sombrero”, so that makes sense.

I have no idea, I don't know where that gets updated in real time. Im sure he's still negative, he was at -0.6 coming into this game.

He is 4th on the team in RBI.

Congrats, now if the Sox never play him in the field again, he could really be productive.

Benny has trade value ...if any team is listening please..

When was the last time he was in the OF?

Murphy has looked impressive!

-0.3 on FanGraphs coming into today. His wRC+ is up to 96. I'm assuming he's probably at -0.2 after today.

He has negative value because he's a league average bat at DH making $15 mil a year.

He does?

Benintendi would be owed the prorated portion of his $16.5 million salary for this year along with $14.5 million guaranteed for next season.

I think Will messed around in April, and wound up with nobody left, so Beni played RF.

Come on. Only a year and a half left on that deal....and maybe the Sox pay the rest of his 2026 salary... if they get a decent prospect in return.

I bet you had Prince in the cue.

Why didn't they do this in the first two games. Just win 8-0 every time. Easy.

What’s the record for LOB by a player in a 9 inning game? Oh well, great win

Ready since Beni's HR.

They'd probably have to pay at least half his contract to dump him for anything worthwhile.

We're better off platooning him at DH for the rest of the year. He's probably gonna end up with a wRC+ around 100, which while not ideal, is not the end of the world. I also don't think he's really blocking anyone down in the minors unless you think Gonzalez should be DHing over him. You wouldn't bring up Montgomery to take his spot as a DH.

Losing battle amigo, fans complain. It's the nature of sports or people and game thread are the worst . If you DFA'd everyone since the beginning of the season that just 1 fan said DFA him or send him down, there'd be half the team gone and the whole front office narrative of fire everyone.

You run into the mods who will tell your that you're complaining about the complainers , follow your own advice, gaslighting or don't tell me how to fan.

And? He's a professional baseball player, they all have their games. Imagine what the RBI totals would be for the actual good players on the team if we hadn't spent 24 games with Benintendi batting somewhere in the 1-5 spot.

When he's anywhere between 1-5 and in the lineups, coming into today, he's about a .230 hitter with with 3 walks and 31 K's and 3 HR's. That's someone who doesn't get on base, and doesn't drive in runs. Again, its baffling to me that they keep putting him in those spots and yet he's there almost 50% of his appearances.

Im done throwing cold water on this thread, we all know he's not good. Sox won and shut out the Twins, turn your attention to that.

Stepping up , that's what's needed.
