Anybody think we overrated Benintendi or is it still too early in his career? There's alot of swing and miss in his game and he fouls off alot of hittable pitches.

 

he's gonna fine. Just his sophomore year.

Sox PR tends to get delirious about every young guy that comes up through the system. But I do not think the fans have over-rated Beni. Hanley naming him MVP before the season started was a bit hyperbolic. Gotta' be the MVP of your team before you can go farther than that. We know the MVP of this team....Its NOT Beni!

Porcello continues cruising. Sucks he has faced some bad luck and had his offense s*** the bed tonight.

 

Just a bloop and a bomb. Two runs down is way different than three runs down.

Coaches are responsible for not reminding these players what's actually happening during the game ...He's throwing high FB for outs like helmet high ...this team is either stupid ? Slow ? Lazy ? Or think they can go yard on High heat ....aweful approaches and aweful coaching .

we always overrate our own prospects. remember Middlebrooks?

 

Every fan base does that. But nobody overrate Middles. JBJ was though.

Geez Rafi. We are desperate for a base runner and you swing at that 3-1 in the count!!!

 

I give .300 hitters a pass for that.

"He ain't no more overrated than JD, who stinks tonight, righty vs. lefty. JD is the one getting the big bucks, not Beni."

 

True, I still think JD's only going to get better as the season moves along. He's got too good of a track record.

I'm not worried yet, hes still very young and its only April. I am however a bit worried about how he's looked vs LHP. He was bad last year, and worse this year.

 

Yeah I figured his hot spring training would translate into a good start to the season and i'm a bit surprised that it hasn't happened.

Please show me where I said Betts has done good tonight or even mentioned him..

 

Thanks

 

You haven't. My point is that Happ is the problem, not Beni. If Mookie is having a problem, then the pitcher is probably having a good night.

Yeah I remember Buster Olney saying Benintendi was going to win several batting titles. With the amount of swing and miss in his game, I just don't see it.

Happ is an average pitcher ...he's made this lineup look undisciplined and overmatched...between Leon swinging in the other batting Box to JD swinging over his head ...to Benny swinging at balls at his helmet ...it's been a well deserved failure up to this point .
