I hope Yoshi has a big game but he will clog the bases if he does get on.

What analytic led to this decision ?

The Sox should trade for someone like that.

LOL!

He does have a better OBP than Duran and everyone in the line-up not batting 2-3-4 and...

#9 Wong.

Toronto struggling after being in WS the previous season. Can you imagine any team that struggled after being  in the WS the previous season?

Fun fact:

The 1950 Red Sox scored 1,027 runs in 154 games. They finished 4 games behind the Yankems. That's the most runs put up by a  team in post war MLB . The 1931 Yankems scored 1,067 runs.

If Mayer never swung he would walk a lot. Chasing and pulling up, up and away  Marcelo has no chance

 

[vegasbob]

Yoshida's OBP is taking a ride on the down escalator

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Fun fact:

Another post war fact. In the 4 WS the Sox were in prior to 2004 they had a record of 12-16. All 4 losses went 7 games. In the 4 WS wins from 2004 to the present the SOX have a record of 16-3.

Romy hit a HR in his rehab start tonight.

Color him disappointing.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The Sox have to put in more work on their swinging bunts.

Putrid Red Sox ABs are per usual

That was a miserable follow through on a leadoff double by our one youngish guy who is outperforming expectations.

Sox hitters back in 2026 form

Not good + Not lucky = Red Sox

Miserable is not the right adjective.  Familiar or predictable come to mind.

[illinoisredsox]

Prediction: Yoshida 4 hopper to second.

Edit - I was wrong. It was a 3 hopper.

[FredLynn]

3-0

Game over

Rafaela shoutout be permitted to challenge pitches.

[FredLynn]

Just lose baby, lose!

[vegasbob]

Awful pitch to Schneider by Kahnle

Game has slip slided away

 

[Duran Is The Man]

different day, same ol' garbage ass team.

[FredLynn]

Durbum, IKF, and Mayer up This inning. No wonder this team sucks.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Watching the Sox is almost as boring as watching soccer.

The only way I'd watch soccer is they'd have to perform a Clockwork Orange on me.
