THE FLOPS SUCK! THEY CANT SCORE! Red Sox lose! FLOPS! Bregman hit was only because cubs sucks! He sucks!

Is that you, Fred?

[dannycater]

Bregman, Abreu, Anthony, Rafaela (cf ONLY), Narvaez, Story...these guys have to be in lineup every day

[Nick]

In my best John Malkovich, teddy KGB accent, 

"Pay that man his money"

Extend Bregman.

You guys were all right: our offense is BRUTAL!

Bregman is an All-Star hitter, and that's why you don't have to sit guys...so Cora looks like a genius but maybe he should just be in that lineup anyway...I realize the quad, but silly, let him play.

Like I said earlier, watching Bregman last weekend and this one, he obviously isn’t 100%.  I don’t have a problem taking it a little easy with him for a while.  I want him available for as many games as possible the rest of the way.

Agreed. Narvaez can DH to get rest.

takes one swing, that's what I said and I also your ace keeps it at 1-0...so that's baseball...Bregman delivers the insurance swing

[dannycater]

Abreu NEVER EVER SITS EVER AGAIN!!!

Narvaez can’t catch every game; no catcher can.  He’s already showing some signs of fatigue.

[dannycater]

BOMB, BOMB, BOMB

[FredLynn]

Have a day Wilyer!

Certainly, a couple of legit hits.

then get a backup catcher at trade deadline

Shows importance of power bats....

He can’t play every day. We need a new backup catcher.

[Jasonbay44]

I really don’t want to lose any of the OF besides Yoshida. All these guys are so fun

Thank you.......You can't have a black hole in the lineup wild chasing a playoff spot.....we're not 20 games over .500 and coasting.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Was Roberts pitching for the Nationals a couple of weeks ago?

Yoshida is not a game-changer..dont' care if he plays or not

From your lips to Cora's ears. Good luck with that.

I’m aware. But with his contract he’s going to take up a spot

That’s fine; no issue with that.  Wong has played his way out of a job.  It’s not like he’s hitting hard shots at people.  His swings don’t even look competitive.

Narvaez could DH, but really, offensively he’s not that different than Yoshida.  Modest power, will hit his share of doubles.

another albatross

[dannycater]

find it funny that Bregman is still in game defensively, tells me he was fine to play in first place

[dannycater]

Just need to get this game over asap

They’re being cautious with him. Thats okay.

Masa is a much better hitter than Narvaez.

He's a very expensive vase.

[dannycater]

Sounds like Bregman talked his way into game, just like a gamer does. Loved him with Stros, love that he is a Sox

True; my response was more for those who want Narvaez in the lineup every day.
