You mean when he hits the ball? 0-15 in  his last 15 AB with 6 K’s, and 4-50 in May with 16K’s.  The luster has worn off, which isn’t surprising.

#1 I’m not worried at all, and I wasn’t the one who mentioned the luster had worn off in the first place. You mentioned his last 15 AB, but you failed to mention his last 50, which covers a longer time period. Sounds a little Suspect.🤫

See above.

Just stating the obvious Facts. What everyone does with those facts, and interprets the results is up to each individual, but bottom line Facts, are the facts. 0-15, and 4-50 with 16K’s.

Is Breslow actually saying that?

It seems like the biggest reason Anthony is not being called up is the Sox do not need an OF.  They need a 1B, and he has never played there plus he possesses strong defensive skills in the OF.  Maybe he could be called up to play DH, but the current DH refuses to go back into the field.

Unless the Sox bench Rafaela, which would be a bad move considering how well he is actully playing, where is Anthony going to play?  Going to bench Duran or Abreu?

What you say is absolutely correct. My only point is why doesn't Brez say it and not give us the BS about he is still 'learning' in AAA. His main reason for staying in AAA is not PERFORMANCE related.

Doesn't matter much now what Breslow is saying., Anthony and Mayer for different reasons will be at WooSox until a significant injury occurs in the IF/OF    Yoshida's case is irrelevant now that Devers is pounding the ball.

The time to make a bold move was prior to or during ST, by converting Abreu or Duran into a  meaningful relief pitcher .  This now may happen at the deadline , or next hot stove league.    

Meanwhile Craig and Alex need to work with what they have to at least make the Wild Card series.

And  regarding Campbell's current slump , just watch his AB's tonight closely .  If he strokes 4 line drives or warning track shots, then he is unlucky  , BABIP be damned.

But if he K's twice,  bounces back to the pitcher and pops up , then I contend he has lost his way , not just the last 15 .    He looks bad with a bat in his hand.   He does excel at foul balls by swinging late before he K's on a sweeper.

Not saying he must be sent away because the team has now invested in him, so they need to work him out of the current fugue.      Another instance of considering whether Cora can only manage veteran players well or can he  and his coaches develop young , unfinished guys into the ones who will contend 2 and 3 years from now.

Laz Diaz certainly brought his A game tonight 

🙄

[FredLynn]

29 pitches already 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It would be difficult to find a worse umpiring crew in baseball and that includes little league.

 

[FredLynn]

Nice throw by Rafaela! 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Nice play by both Raf and Narvaez.

[FredLynn]

Sogard isn’t the answer at 1B

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Sogard now 1-16 from the left side.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I'm guessing that Story leads the Sox in killing worms so far this season.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Watching Soto K is great entertainment.

[FredLynn]

Rafaela strikes out…..YAWWWWN!

[FredLynn]

8ks so far. Back to this crap.

[FredLynn]

This game is boring. The Flops can’t even make contact.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Abreu may be making it easier for the FO to trade him. The  Sox need pitching and he could be part of a good package.

But mainly I want to see what Anthony has got.

[FredLynn]

Story needs to grab some pine for a long time 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Story's 60th strike out, which leads the AL.

IF he even makes contact…

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Panic move by Mets manager. Hope it bites him in the azz 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Even when Crochet doesn't have his A game, he's still the Sox best starter.

[Nick]

Why is Crochet coming out with 85 pitches?

Cora does what he always does. Over manage. 

[iortiz]

what the f*** is Cora doing?

Pulling Crochet is an interesting choice with how rough BP Situation is today

I doubt Crochet was happy about it.
