The Olympic Rings for Chavis tonight or is it a platinum sombrero?

 

Did he even hit a foul ball?

 

Edit - I guess he did manage to foul 2 pitches off.

On the plus side and in the hard to believe column, Bogaerts’ sac fly on the 5th was the Sox first of the year.

Red Sox need a superstar with next year's #1 overall pick.

Believe me, I don't understand the hype for this in-over-his-head kid. Chavis is minor leaguer who can't hit a MLB fastball

Great stat, but says a lot about the guys in front of him reaching base and advancing ( Beni, Devers, JDM among others)

Red Sox have allowed 86 runs in last 9 games.

 

Speier says that's a franchise high for a 9 game stretch.

 

The pursuit of infamy goes on!

I think they can get over 100 in 10 games tonight...

If you told that to Ripley, he'd say "I don't believe it."

Nah, it’s an afternoon game. They’ll get there by the rush hour.

To be fair, I don’t remember too many from the opponents either, but when you hit the fly ball far enough ...

That's because the flyballs hit off Sox pitchers don't stay in the ballpark often enough...

Hence the ellipsis at the end of my post.

I'm not going to pick up on that. I end almost all my posts with an ellipsis.

 

See...

Hopefully, the Phillies think that today’s game is a night game. That will be our best chance at a victory.

Has everyone seen the new 30 for 30 on ESPN/ It continues the story about the RedSox next 21 consecutive losses.

Kyle Hart, a fine young 27 year old, who does not have a future in MLB pitching or otherwise.

I’m sure he has a future, but it is not as a major league baseball player.
