Duran I thought would light a fire for this team ? Nothing no spark zero.Time to shake this team up either Jettison a player or huge trade .Duran seems to have a long swing and looks overmatched on FB Edited by Swiharts Ghost

Based on his previous seasons, Devers usually starts off slow and then heats up after the ASB. This season he obviously started off hot, so who knows what the post ASB has in store for him. If he doesn't produce close to what he did in the 1st half, from here on out, the SOX are definitely in trouble.

I agree. One hit in his 1st two games, he should be sent down. Do you ever read your posts before you embarrass yourself.

I hate it when ARod is right. But he is right about Rafi's swing. Its getting big. Its like he is winding up to swing and he is not on time through the hitting zone doing that.

 

 

He could be in a slump. Did you know that his majesty, Mike Trout has been known to get into batting slumps?

Perez (L) vs. Taillon ®

 

Sox have no chance in this game because last night broke them and the Yankees are now resurgent.

 

Also, look at this horrible lineup which is without talksox fav Dalbec:

 

Hernandez 2b

Verdugo LF

JDM DH

Bogey SS

Devers 3B

Renfroe RF

Duran CF

Vazquez C

Arroyo 1B

 

 

But then, hopeless causes are the only ones worth rooting for.

 

I apologize for this OP, which was a lousy attempt at reverse mojo. The simple fact is that the weak hitting has lingered from last night and from before the ASG. Plus overall the Yankees do have pretty good pitching, especially the bullpen.

 

Agree on comments about Devers hitting.

 

I missed most of the game because I was at a family dinner, which was great fun.

This team better snap out of it. This is embarrassing. They’re a playoff team but they have played down to the Yankees this series. Better right the ship.

Bobby is the worst first baseman now in all of MLB

 

Right now it’s our offense that just sucks. But I do agree with you about Bobby.

 

But you won’t win many games scoring one and zero runs. This is pathetic

Bobby Has no business on this team none id trade him for a Twix bar

 

Dalbec is the least of our problems. Any reason given on why he replaced Arroyo?

 

Correction: I just read Arroyo hurt his leg.

Rafi is young. Puts too much pressure on himself. Expects to pick up the team constantly and that is a lotta' pressure to put on yourself over 162.

 

This game is not about physical strength or muscles or even conditioning as much as it is about dealing with the pressure of playing in the field, hitting, base running (which none of them can do any more) and doing it in multiple situations which you have to determine before a play has to be made. Making it up on the fly won't work in this game.

 

It is certainly the hardest mentally of the team sports. Golf is likely the hardest mentally over all. Professional golfers are dealing with mental strain all the time and there is nobody to pick them up. Watch a pro golf tournament in person sone time and watch how they shape the ball around the course. WE are not playing the same game as they are. Soccer is likely the toughest game physically. Tennis is tough mentally in that you know you have to dominate your opponent or your opponent will dominate you and tennis players break down a good deal. So they are often out there gimping around.

5-0 Yankees. This series has been a disaster--unless you are a Yankees fan.

 

What bugs me is a depleted yankees lineup. Seriously they better right this ship tomorrow.

Posted
Well the Sox are doing everything in their power to resuscitate the Yanks.

 

They will lose this series. It’s not the end of the world. Just get them next time around. Stop playing like crap. I believe this is the 3rd series they have lost straight.
