Benintendi has become a Punch and Judy hitter. He has 3 home runs this year and a microscopic ISO of .081. If he was still with the Sox he'd be taking his share of abuse.

Kinda like Dugo's trend.

Don't likes these announcers, but I did hear one of them call it a safety squeeze.

what's the difference what you call it, it worked, I still contend small ball wins ball games in the right spot, filling out line up cards and sitting with your arms folded waiting for big hits is not always working, sometimes you have to manufacture runs, makes no difference this team is going no where anyway

I wonder if resident genius Cora has noticed that McGuire is a better all-around catcher than Plow Boy.

if somebody tells him, unfortunately we are going to be stuck with this same comatose management duo next year

[cukes]

What the hell what was that swing by Hosmer?

he is consistently swinging at the low out of the zone pitches, can't be fooled that much

Boy, you're a real ray of sunshine. (You have plenty of company, of course.)

tell it like it is and accept what you are, conjecture wins nothing, I have seen too much over the years good and bad

[JDavis76]

I got a gut feeling again.

Arroyo homers and the Sox win.

About as accurate as you "realistic" threads......

[JDavis76]

Dugo, who will never be accepted by the Betts cult, continues to hit, field and play winning baseball.

He may be hitting and fielding but he ain't doing much winning.....

[JDavis76]

If it was professional, it wouldn't be FOX.

It could be worse, imagine if cnn broadcast games......

[dgalehouse]

Sometimes , folks just have a knee jerk reaction. The Fox announcers last night did an excellent job in calling what was a close and exciting game.

Thus completes your image on this forum; showing true colors in words and not hue.

I'm pretty sure black, brown, red and yellow aren't his favorite colors. Most likely his favorite colors are white and orange.

I mean I’d still rather have him than Franchy Cordero

And Wink?

My goodness has Wacha pitched a whale of a game tonight. Like Sale, all business, no shaking off of signs or scratching his ass or whatever. Unlike Sale, excellent repertoire and excellent command. Hard to believe this is his first start back.

Some credit has to go to Plawecki for calling a good mix of pitches. On the previous game thread I read a comment McGuire should catch all the games because Plawecki is worthless--I'm exaggerating of course.
