Great play by Sanchez. Sox need more of that.

I wish Sanchez could hit too

 

Sanchez's arm does look to be stronger then last year. His bat looks to be the same as last year though

It's obvious Rowand needs to return to booth to provide a spark

Avi still looks a little hobbled but toggling it out.

 

Come one Alexei let's keep it rolling

3-run homer one of these days please.

So many pitchers record strikeouts against our hitters and they hardly ever have to pitch in the zone to do so... K's Alexei with one actual strike.

Sox swung at 5 pitches that inning that weren't even close to being a strike

Kottaras can't be worse.

Ugh

Do we have the worst 7-8-9 hitters in the league?

Flowers has no chance against fastballs of late

Flowers shouldn't be in the majors.

If they want to make a statement with a veteran player, Flowers should be the guy. He's garbage, and if the pitchers say they'll miss him, tough s***.

Horrible atbat by lexi. Can we just release flowers?

Flowers shouldn't be in the majors.

 

Hahn's biggest error of the offseason.

How long are we going to have to go with Alexei and Flowers?

We are 4th in MLB in OPS out of the 7 spot, 28th in OPS out of the 8 spot (notably Cubs are worst and they keep putting their pitcher there so only the Angels are really worse), 11th in MLB in OPS out of 9 spot (9th in the AL).

Soto hit very well on Friday. Why not give him another chance today? I will never understand the love the org has for Flowers.

Unless he's traded, Alexei is starting rest of the year.

Don't really count the NL in that. What about just Sanchez?

 

I guess Alexei hasn't been that bad but it just seems like he has been horrible when we need him most which makes it seem bad

I will never understand the love this website has for a backup catcher with a lower OPS than Flowers.

Kottaras can't be worse.

 

Kevan Smith seems to be the main starter in AAA. I personally like the way Soto can swing the bat, especially if he gets more then 6 abs a week.

I think if Soto got the majority of the starts he would be able to get in a groove and hit a lot better than Flowers

That's why I gave both the MLB and the AL in the 9th slot, there are 6 teams that have gotten less production than us out of the 9 spot in the AL.

I thought by now Soto would be the starter but seems they love to hold onto players who can't play.
