Wong is a pathetic excuse for a major league hitter.

[jad]

Why would you have the best hitter in your lineup bunt  to move the runners up for a Mendoza-line hitter?

He has a lot of company

Why is it always 0-2 on Wong?

And Duran. Wong's AB after the Siegler double was worthless. 

Rutschman's presence  chilled Wong

[Tedballgame]

He's out

[FredLynn]

I think that other players are infected with Rafaelaism. Swinging at balls at least a foot outside 

[jad]

I think that was the worst AB I've seen all season.

Cedanne should go up there without a bat. He has a good chance of walking.

[Tedballgame]

Why would any competent pitcher ever thrown Cedanne a strike?

[FredLynn]

Merloni and Alex Speer are right on about Rafaela…..as he Ks on a ball outside and in the dirt.

He needs to sit for a while. He’s getting tired-just like last year.

And we are getting tired of watching him swing at balls way out of the zone.

[Tedballgame]

Game will be over soon.

[FredLynn]

Abreu has to make that play

How can a utility guy not be able to bunt?

He shouldn't have been bunting in the first place.

[vegasbob]

Sandoval is determined to lose this one.

What are they saving Bello for?

Alligator armed it.

[FredLynn]

Gonna be a blowout. Hope everyone has alternative plans 

[Tedballgame]

I'm turning it off. Sandoval is trash and the Sox can't hit with RISP.

Would have been a  great play. but there should have been the out at 2B

[FredLynn]

Bums

[FredLynn]

Leave him out there until his f***ing arm falls off

[vegasbob]

Tolle and Gray. then pray

There will be no run in the playoffs for lack of SP's

Poll: Who has/had the stronger arm- Duran or Damon?

Duran by a lot, but that is not saying much.

[FredLynn]

No point in getting anyone up now

He’s going to be the bulk guy tomorrow; they are pushing everyone back a day.  At this point, Sandoval can be his own long man; they aren’t winning this one.

He goes 5 and then let Burgos do 3 to finish up.

[FredLynn]

6-0

I can’t believe they’re getting someone up. Just leave him out there until he throws 200 pitches 

[vegasbob]

Imagine in your own career having as little ability as Sandoval and getting paid $20 million , and taking off the prior 18 months
