The  book on Duran is so simple that every pit her has it

 They all pitch him low away and he chases like a dog after a bone

[FredLynn]

Too many swings and misses

[FredLynn]

Gone

Top 8-14 isn’t going to last. We don’t have the talent. And it seems like a lot of teams are looking for a RHH with power. The cost will be prohibitive. Breslow should have done his job over the winter. He didn’t. And as you pointed out our young LH pitchers are approaching their innings restrictions. 
Sell Sell Sell !

Not a huge Breslow fan but he has significantly improved the young pitching which I have long called for.

Yup. He gets credit for that. But he did only half the job. We needed help with the offense over the winter and he failed to do that.

I've been one to talk up Sandoval since the signing. I remember him being a pretty damn good pitcher for a year and a half or a couple years. That was a pretty long time ago, but I also said the same about Moran, and he's looking pretty good.

Sandoval has yet to earn his previous respect, and a nice game tonight would put him on that path. If Early, Crochet and others never come back, we will need him to do well. (We may need that even if they do come back.)

I admit to not being that familiar with him I think I am just jaded by how many rehab pitchers we have signed that have not worked out and Sandoval is clearly on that list. We gave him 2 years and have got nothing out of him yet with just 2 months to go.  Yet Sonny Gray has been incredible for us- why not extend him for at least 2 but not more than 3 years. We give 2 yr deals for guys who don’t give us 2 months of quality. The list of those is long and includes Sandoval at this point.

Cedanne saves energy by hitting the ball just far enough for runs. 

Sox beating a better pitcher than. PS

Same for Sandy who is losing his edge

[FredLynn]

Runs are on the way 

[FredLynn]

The Jays are worse than I thought with RISP

[FredLynn]

Rafaela has gone back to swinging at balls a foot off the plate 

[FredLynn]

At least he can play D

[FredLynn]

Duran comes through here 😬

Can we just DFA this guy ??? How many chances does he get??

[FredLynn]

Rafaela can’t get Siegler to 3rd. He’s regressing 

[FredLynn]

Rafaela cost us a run by not moving Siegler over

This type of absurdity is why I avoid the game threads.

See you after the game.

Bee in your bonnet Moon?

Rafaela did cost the team a run and possibly the game 

 

[FredLynn]

Flops going down 

[FredLynn]

That run Rafaela  blew cost the team the game 

[FredLynn]

Game over

Rafaela’s blunder didn’t matter. But it was still a blunder.
