[FredLynn]

Is it my imagination or is Rafaela laying off more unhittable pitches? Last K notwithstanding…

I was wrong. Juiced baseballs won't help this team. MLB needs to move in the fences -- to the infield grass.

The Red Sox still won't hit home runs, because all their contact is weak grounders. But at least they'll hit some off the wall.

To hit HR's they first have to reach the warning track..

I really don't think the offense is this bad, and I doubt we finish in the bottom 10 in runs or OPS, but to start they year, I had hopes we might finish near #10.

It’s this bad

[FredLynn]

Bases loaded one out. No runs.

Fourth place team at best

I’ve been here in St. Louis for both games. They have not hit a ball to the warning track yet in two nights.

They don’t know about protecting the plate with two strikes. They’ would rather take the pitch and beg for a walk.

[FredLynn]

Weissert will gag it up

[Tedballgame]

Weissert will blow this

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Very good job of pitching tonight by Suarez.

[FredLynn]

Narvaez never learns. How many times did he do that last year?

Weissert doesn’t need help blowing this

He's made CI into an art form.

[FredLynn]

Runs are on the way!

Weissert sucks 

[Tedballgame]

Navarez leads the world in catcher interference 

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

A pathetic offense makes pitching much more difficult.

[FredLynn]

Duplicate 

[FredLynn]

Weissert didn’t have the chance to gag it up

Yeah.  No team that’s done has ever finished above 4th…

I agree they seem to have too much faith in Narvaez…

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Does Walker have more HR's than the Sox as a team?

Just checked and was surprised that the Sox have 9 HR's.

Swanson is just the frozen dinner the Sox needed.

What team is dressed up as the Red Sox?

Sadly, they probably won't face Swanson again.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Smoltz didn't play for the Sox; he played the Sox.

He's just an arrogant A-hole.

[moonslav59]

Let's hope this is the real Suarez.

[Tedballgame]

Broke the 6 game road losing streak.

This team is going to have to win with pitching because the lineup does not have enough pop. They also don't bunt or move runners. They are poor situational hitters. Its going to be a 3rd or 4th place team, at best.
