Nice to see HERNANDEZ back in there at 2nd …….. NUNEZ at 3rd ????????????????? iono iono iono iono iono

My lizard brain tells me Travis is playing LF again as DD is showing another club ST's prowess as part of a MEGA trade.  My other brain half reminds me Beni is turrrble against lefties, and has to sit.

Hey  D D , while waiting for E-RODS POTENTIAL, there must be at least 28 other TEAMS that are drooling for a POSSIBLE TRADE,  YA THINK ????   Get that STIFF out of there, NOW GRASSHOPPER !!!! thumb_d thumb_d iono iono iono iono sigh sigh sigh sigh sigh rofl rofl rofl

[Sea Dog 23]

Two runners on followed by three strikeouts.  Must be the early start.   sigh

[longgame]

Seems they’ve given up on this one as well.

It’s interesting how some teams, notably TB and Houston, come into town with a game plan for each pitcher.  The Sox just seem to go with whatever isn’t working. 

[Bill-806]

Why do we look so sluggish in our home park ???  Where is the ENERGY  ??? iono iono iono iono

[Bill-806]

E-ROD gives up his 2nd H R today …….. & our own JACK BRAD is 2 for 2, WOW ???? SOX down 4-1... sigh sigh sigh sigh

[Bill-806]

That is so true.  The Sox hitters seem to have no strategy.

It seems so much that each hitter is trying to go YARD on every pitch ??  Again, we never hear to much or see the HITTING COACHES ?? Wouldn't know who they are ???? iono iono iono iono

[Murph]

You can tell Snell is  having  an off year.Sox got 5 hits an 1 run.

[elktonnick]

O'Brien and Eckersley are saying what we have been talking about here about Sox hitting approach.  Like us they are speculating that guys are essentially swinging for the fences with long swings.  Everyone is also admitting this club is  playing without any energy.

I  am also wondering why all these injuries.
