When the Sox sign a FA for big bucks, it's less than 50% successful.

Maybe he'll get hot in the PO's.

You're so right.  Cora should bench him and then Breslow should DFA him  Whaddaya think?  

Sure Max

He seems very unconfident at the plate.  No swag at all.  Looks defeated up there

Another guy Cora should bench and Breslow should DFA.  Right?

[FredLynn]

Two horrible strikes called on Rafaela. He doesn’t need help striking out 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The HP chUMP has been a disgrace for both teams.

Fortunately, the ones they have hit on (Manny, Pedro, Millar, Lackey, J.D. Martinez, Napoli, Victorino have helped them win FOUR World Series!

Or maybe we could give Bregman a break and note that tonight the bottom 6 in the lineup have 8 of the 9 hit and all 4 rbi's and all 4 runs scored.

Who said any of that?   I was simply making an observation. Keep running your extremes out there.  Dilutes any argument you TRY to make

This is true.

BREG still playing a solid 3rd base.

Pedro came via trade, but the free agent HE recruited helped win three rings: Big Papi.

I’ll finish your sentence:

”hoping he’ll hit .300 the rest of the way.”

Defensive positioning on LH hitters is amazing

[Tedballgame]

Bullpen is doing the job tonight.

Right on Pedro but they signed him to a huge contract (at the time) right after the trade.

Slaten with the big shutdown and final PO.

Now we have to anticipate suffering through another sweaty 27 pitch crusade by Chapman

He has been solid all year defensively.

Bullpen is just outstanding because the Jays can definitely score runs.

Why do you hate Cedanne so much? He is going to win a gold golve this year, he can play multiple positions, he is young, has a very team favorable contract and is an improving hitter. Better get used to him being the center fielder for the next 8-10 years.

Bichette is out. He makes a big difference for them
