Finally saw a highlight of Nunez's "double". WTF is wrong with this team?

Eaton is just terrible at running through 1st base. It's not even about being lazy. It's bad base running.

Ramirez isn't going to be a big leaguer next year. You'd think he'd realize this is his last contract... If he's that torn up over Minnie's death he needs to take a leave of absence for the good of the team. Get it together buddy.

Someone will gamble a million dollars or so on seeing if he can find one more year, SS is that weak of a position.

I'm guessing he's hurt. Pretty much all the knocks on him (not the best clubhouse guy when things aren't going well, oft injured) have proven to be true. Of course, he also was worth 3 bWAR last season, so the positives were true as well. Going to be an interesting 2nd half for him.

Pressure the defense with speed. You bust your hump every time. When did guys lose these fundamentals.

 

Still cracks me up thinking how in game one of the season Hawk was preaching how Vince Coleman was going to be a difference in how this team plays,,,,as with most things he could not be more wrong. Ramirez having the best season a shortstop had ever had was the another....

Yea problem is that those 1 year deals are fully guaranteed, as we saw with Tank. I'd sign him for a million then if he sucked ass in spring, cya.

He's swinging the bat better of late vs RHP. Against LHP, he has been useless.

lmao, you can't make this s*** up.

Eaton hustled so much last year that he was getting injured because of it. Now that he has the money and he has a year under his belt he feels like he can do whatever he wants and the s***ty manager allows it

 

 

Management told him to dial it back a lot. If he doesn't have a chance to be safe don't go all out. Eaton had no chance on that play and he didn't go all out. That's on the management not Eaton. That's my opinion.

53 at bats for Avi since he had an extra base hit

It's using discretion mostly. That was most certainly the time to be busting it.

Shocking it looks like the offense quit after Sale gave up the lead.

What is worse that the Sox brass actually saw 30/30 with Avi were they on drugs? Sox have ZERO people who can actually evaluate talent.

Still too early. Avi is no super star. Mike Trout puts numbers up like that.

I agree mostly, but if the sox didn't try to change Eaton he would have busted down the line and made it easily

The offense quit when they arrived in Arizona. As the games get ticked off the schedule the poorly constructed nature of this team becomes more and more evident.

 

Their hitting approach is that of an over anxious little league team. Swing at the first thing close to the zone.

He needs to go to Charlotte.

I don't know if you saw this one but it was a find that made me pause and say "really" yesterday. Garcia has not hit a double down the left field line since 2013.

Not a surprise, his mechanics are awful. Going forward, he seems more a part of the problem and not a part of the solution.

Not really early on Avi cracks in the armor are many.

Hopefully the new hitting coach next spring will be able to get more out of Avi.

Dah that was impressive and awful.

Sanchez drops the ball go away you are not a MLB player.

Carlos Sanchez: Here for the Defense.
